Number Five: So, you think his hair is bad now, do ya'? It could be sooooo much worse. Fortunately for all, he didn't keep this look long. Number Four: The first time I saw this picture, I laughed out loud. The hair, the vest, the cyan shirt that so attractively showcases his toothpick upper arms, and, my god, those hideous orange sunglasses... deliciously bad in so many ways. Number Three: This is a very strange little polaroid... David is seen here during his starving Eastern Bloc refugee period enduring some sort of cocaine-induced seizure. Meanwhile, Angie is lying on a couch behind him smiling. Not calling the paramedics, just smiling, oddly amused. No wonder they're divorced! Number Two: Oh, the horror. ...And the Number One worst picture of David Bowie ever taken is... Yes, that really is David Bowie. I know it looks like a 40-year old Japanese tourist, but I promise you, it is David Bowie. Photo credits: 5.)

Right, so, ahm, it seems there *is* one facial expression Bowie makes that isn't charming... yeah. This appears to be a rare picture from Bowie's short-lived collaboration with Flock of Seagulls. The fruits of that collaboration being the worst hair day in recorded history. Nice frown, too. Great submission, Einar!
