Don't forget the late Harry Reams and his gooey 'stash.

'Stache's have always made a guy look homosexual to me. Not older men, just the younger guys. When my hubby tried to grow one, I called him Freddie Mercury for weeks, until it drove him to the clippers and a fresh razor. No offense meant to Mercury and his unbelievable talent! His 'stache was completely appropriate for the times...and lifestyle.
Will you please make sure to keep Getback free of spammers like "seeking a suga man"? I have already placed my complaint, and hope other's will too. Thanks.

Where is Ray Parker, Jr? I know you are doing 'Rock' however you have someone under 'Soul Stache' with a Marvin Gaye flavor, Barry White - who ironically Ray worked for, studies under and produced with, and Keith Sweat. Ray Parker, Jr. as we all know, was 'Soul' while with Raydio and wore a powerful 'stache' throughout his entire career. I, too, guess you forgot about that one.

GetBack Rock 'Stache Awards

Classic Rock 'Stache Award: Jeff "Skunk" Baxter, 1975

Moustaches are to rock what Stetsons are to country, and sporting one is a rock rite of passage. Just after a young rocker picks up his first guitar, plugs in his Marshall amp, and hits that power chord, the moustache arrives on cue. It signals his arrival into rock manhood. Bolder than a tattoo and studlier than a piercing, 'staches make rock great. Without them, it's just prepubescent pap.

In honor of Movember (an annual November moustache-growing event to promote awareness of men's health issues), we salute the iconic artists who have embraced the look over the years. Here are the winners in our first annual GetBack Rock 'Stache Awards. And yes, we spell it the British way in tribute to the Beatles, those pioneers who inspired countless musicians to grow their own facial foliage.
