I remember reading some interview on the guy from Jamiroquai, where he explained that he wore those silly hats so that people wouldn't pay attention to his race. I thought he just wore them because he was going bald. Or did imagine this whole thing?
Anyway, what are some other famous hats in music? And why?

that guy from Mr Big made top hats cool again in 1991

Yeah, I thought that was weird too! But that's what I remember was his explanation.

He's committed a race-hat crime

Yeah, I remember that guy from Guns 'n Roses who always had the hat and his hair covering his face. Was he really ugly or why did he do that?
― Tuomas, Tuesday, 22 January 2008 16:52 (eighteen years ago)

Oh, Hattyhead. Then they replaced him with someone who always wore a bucket on his head. He was called Buckethead.
I'm joking, of course.
― Mark G, Tuesday, 22 January 2008 17:02 (eighteen years ago)
he wore hats so Axl would not notice he was black.

Couldn't find a picture, but Noddy Holder from Slade with his mirrored hat. And also Jason Pebworth from Orson, adding to the proof that hat = going bald.

hats make a musician look more like a instrument
― sexyDancer, Tuesday, 22 January 2008 20:03 (eighteen years ago)
some good musicians wear hats. so do some bad ones. similarly, both good and bad musicians sometimes don't wear any hats. there you go.
