  1. 1 John Oates
    The key to really wearing a mustache---rather than having it wear you---is confidence. Now clean-shaven, Oates wore his with the kind of bravado that Scotsmen bring to shortsless kilt-wearing: a caveman gleam in the eye, an open shirt and a fulsome explosion of bristles.

    2 Freddie Mercury
    Most gents with an overbite will even out the facial plateau with a beard. Not Queen singer Mercury, who opted for this impressive thatch.

  3. 3 Frank Zappa
    This all-over-the-map composer is the Salvador Dal of the entertainment world, in music
    and mustache.

    4 Lemmy
    If whiskers were Spice Girls, Motrhead man Lemmy's would undoubtedly be Scary.

  5. 5 Chuck Berry
    Rock & roller Berry offers the 'stache equivalent of overplucked eyebrows---taking from top and bottom until near nothing remains.

  6. 6 Ringo Starr
    What could top the drum fills on "Strawberry Fields Forever"? The fact that Ringo's eyes slope downward at the same angle as his mustache.

    7 Franz Nicolay
    The erstwhile Hold Steady keys player now has a solo album titled Luck & Courage; as robust an approach to life as it is to facial hair.

  8. 8 Prince
    Mustachioed, mulleted, wearing a shiny purple coat and still sexy. Mr. Prince, we salute you!

  9. 9 JD Samson
    Boldness is rewarded again, in Le Tigre/MEN lady Samson. If face fuzz could talk: "Yes it is,  and yes I am."

  10. 10 Donald Fagen
    So thin! So well groomed! As if  a single dreadlock has been glued to the Steely Dan singer's upper lip.

DJ Mix: Layo & Bushwacka!

The U.K. electronic-house superstars give us a mix.

That exclamation point isn't there to convey our excitement—it's an official part of DJ-producer Matthew Benjamin's nom de musique—but we are extremely amped about the Basic NYC--KGB gig that Benjamin and partner Layo Paskin will be playing on Saturday, November 20. The gig itself should be killer, with the U.K. duo spinning revved-up house rhythms alongside hosts Sleepy & Boo in Sullivan Room, and Carl Craig (with no less than Amp Fiddler on live keys) doling out his jazz-tech beats in the upstairs Sullivan Hall. But what makes this event really special is the venue's intimacy; these guys, whose path to superstardom wasn't hurt by the fact that Layo co-owned one of London's premier clubs, the End (may it rest in peace), usually ply their trade in niteries many times larger than Sullivan Room. It's as close to a don't-miss party as we get in NYC—and here's a deep-yet-jacking Layo & Bushwacka! mix to get you ready.
