So I found this link while cruising Fark today, and I decided I would correct their silly little mistakes. While I agree that some of those people should be on that list, here's my top twelve (in no particular order) ugliest musicians:
Tom Petty
Michael Jackson
Iggy Pop
David Bowie
Marilyn Manson
Steven Tyler
Meatloaf
Courtney Love
Weird Al
Keith Richards
Sid Vicious
K D Lang
It's also pretty tough to chose, so I left in some honorable mentions for people who could very well make the cut.
Rob Zombie
Tiny Tim
Both of the Indigo Girls
George Clinton
Lis pointed out a great one too.

That's funny. You found some of the most unflattering pictures of people. Weird Al could probably look pretty good... If he wanted to ;) I would have moved Rob Zombie up further, but hey.
Weird Al actually looks a lot better now. Well, some people think so, at least. There are some pretty good pictures of him from the Grammys on Getty Images.
But I do agree whole-heartedly with pretty much all of your other choices.
That's a really old Bowie picture
He's not that odd any more
Although, excepting maybe Weird Al, all th rest I'd agree
Even kd lang despite the fact she's from around here
She pissed of a lot of ranchers here some years back by telling people not to eat meat. I don't think she's done a concert here since then. She might get shot :)
You've missed a few important points:
1. Michael Jackson is extremely handsome -- just not to our own species.
2. Keith Richards looks very good for somebody who's 300 years old.
3. Iggy Pop and Keith Richards may be ugly, but they'll remain looking that way forever due to the preservatives in their drugs.
4. It doesn't matter how Tiny Tim looks -- nobody would ever be attracted to him anyway.
Does anybody else think that k d lang is an illegitimate baby of Martin Sheen?
You missed one: me. While not as well known as those other folks, I'm pretty hard on the eyes.
But what is beauty? What is ugly? These are just words...
I agree with most of these...except Sid Vicious is really hott and Rob Zombie means to look that way, so I don't think he should count. Besides, he's got a pretty hot wife, so he must look better cleaned up.
People that could replace these:
1. Sheryl Crow (not a real rock star but neither is k.d. lang)
2. Dave Grohl (what! is up with that adam's apple?)
@Jennifer -- hah! I was looking for a picture of Dave Grohl actually, but I couldn't find one that really did him justice. :-P As for Rob Zombie... that is true, but even pictures without his makeup, he's pretty fugly.
I think David Bowie Is pretty
