[Music] Who has the, or indeed had, the best hat in Rock and Roll?

[jakarta]

Bob Calvert of Hawkwind fame used to wear a RAF leather flying helmet & goggles on stage, as well as toting a Sten Gun.

The Box of Frogs were considerably less mad than Bob...

I see [MENTION=792]smillie's garden[/MENTION] beat me to the Don, but I post a picture in any case. Plus some others all of the same bloke; nobody can beat Skinny Puppy for hats.

Who was it who wore a Brighton beanie hat ?

Do you mean Steve Ferrone, when he was drumming for Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers at the Super Bowl 42 half-time show? Can't find a decent picture but he mentions it here: https://steveferrone.com/bio/

This got mentioned on 6 Music a while back when Ferrone was the subject of Hughie's Player's Ball.

The answer is OBVIOUSLY Slash, by the way.

Surely the rest are rock ‘n roll imitators - in fashion (hats) and rock

I'm all about III - best songs, best look and best moves.

Mind you every incarnation is hypnotic and groovy, in a kind of stoned lava lamp you just can't stop watching.

Best current rock band by a million miles.

And yes, the hats are top ten material.
