I mean, seriously, Mike Score and Limahl did at least come up with hairstyles that were unique, which is more than one can say about those numerous naff mullets of the latter half of the decade.

Tried googling images of Sal Solo, he's wearing a flat cap in all of them. Maybe he didn't want to be a baldie.

lol I already GISed Sal Solo.

Oi, the Oakey wedge is a thing of beauty. Now if you'd picked the bestubbled, mullet look he was rocking in late '84....

even at the time the hair made me feel queasy.

What the hell was wrong w/Tina's hair?! Surely there was a galaxy of horrible mullets & whatnot that were worse.

how is it possible there were 7 images posted before anyone thought to put up phil oakey?

is that limahl in the front of the second post's photo?

― Dan Gr (certain), Tuesday, 5 September 2006 19:20 (eighteen years ago)

because as already noted Phil Oakey's hair was GREAT

Something can be GREAT and WRONG at the same time.

― I Supersize Disaster (noodle vague), Tuesday, 5 September 2006 20:45 (eighteen years ago)

Like Limahl's hair and Mike Score's hair. The naffest mullets were the late 80s ones. As a matter of fact, almost everything that was naff and wrong about the 80s happened in the second half of the decade. Before that, the 80s were genius!

Don't believe everything Mr Reynolds tells you Geir.

Now, come on, if you're having the bloke from the Thompson Twins, you're getting Alannah Currie as well:

Limahl's hair stayed that way ever since Paul Gambucchini surprised him that morning in the shower.....

Paul Haig's hair in the Sorry for Laughing video when he shaved off his sideburns.

Apparently, he is using a wig while touring his old material these days.

Regarding Phil Oakey, he looked a lot worse around this time:

Wow, I can't believe Geir posted that pic of the Private Dancer Tina Turner album which I was just radomly thinking about earlier today, and I was like "what the fuck made me think of that?"

Twightlight Zone.

Anyway I still say the worst hairstyle in the world from the 80's was Jon Bon Jovi.
