In big bands? Usually because record labels don't like it. For example, look at how Virgin refused to put any financial muscle behind promoting Gary Moore in the US during the '80s because they felt he was too unattractive to crack MTV. Bands themselves are often quite wary of it themselves, too. A then-unknown David Coverdale very nearly didn't the Deep Purple job because Blackmore thought he was too fat and ugly to front the band.

But outside of major label groups, there's plenty of ugmos around. Just look at the punk scene.

Elliott wasn't TOTALLY ugly.. He had a pretty smile.

it's easier to make it big if you are attractive

also talented people tend to be more attractive
>>
Do you think the more attractive you are means the more motivation you have to succeed? Like, the uglier you are the more you think, "what's the point in trying?' ?

Elliott wasn't that ugly. This picture isn't doing him any favors, particularly that weird hair. He looked pretty OK with a more normal head of hair and a big smile

>So why are more attractive people successful?
They're more successful at everything because people treat attractive people better purely because of their attractiveness.

They also market more attractive musicians way more than ugly musicians for obvious $$$reasons$$$.

guy on the right has a pretty case of bug eyes

The music industry is a lot like Television/Movies; where the people with money only pick attractive people to grab your attention and move product.
