Have you seen Asylum’s gallery of "The 15 Most Awesome Celebrity Mullets Ever?" You need to.* Because I can’t be the only one to experience A) a ping of regret that hockey star Jaromir Jagr no longer has a party in the back and B) the realization that Mel Gibson still looks pretty damn good to me in that thing.
Is Mel the only man whose mullet-y hotness is timeless? And which classic mullets did Asylum overlook?
* Especially you folks who freaked when Moonlight’s Alex O’Loughlin named the mullet as one of the five things that should live forever in pop culture. You need to face that fear.

What about Mario Lopez?
AC Slater couldn’t have picked up Jessie Spano without his mullet and his sweet wrestling onesie.
I have to agree, Mandi. Mel’s mullet looked downright sexy compared to the other atrocities on the countdown.
As far as mullets that were left off, John Stamos comes to mind. Uncle Jesse, have mercy!
Kurt Russell. He created one of the greatest rebels of all time. The mullet has become an integral part of Snake Plissken’s character. He wouldn’t be such a bad a** without it.
Mrs. Brady’s was a shag, and really, so was Bowie’s. It was the forerunner to the mullet.
Why Jaromir Jagr’s mullet isn’t #1 is a total mystery – his mullet could totally kick Billy Ray’s mullet’s ass. And Mel Gibson’s mullet looks oddly alluring, but not quite as awesome as his “Road Warrior” hair: http://media3.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/photo/2006/06/09/PH2006060900332.jpg
Did they seriously forget Bono’s early 80s mullet? Maybe he lost points for apologizing for it when the won the MTV Video Awards lifetime achievement award a few years ago.
Gibson does look surprisingly good. I had no idea.
sarah – Seriously!! Like Mel for Mandi, Bono STILL looked hot with that mullet. Can’t believe they left him off the list!
Bono is a great call. He was rockin’ his back in the day. Forgot about some of those pictured. Did remind me that my brother and I used to refer to mullets as “hockey hair”.
Behold the mighty Mullet! Hairstyle of the Gods! Except not.
Is it a mullet when it’s just long all over and brushed back? To me, the serious mullet is when it’s cut short in front, like barber cut or crew or flat-top, and grown long in back. Sometimes it’s just long blow-dried hair.
What about Richard Marx (“Right Here Waiting”)? His mullet was nothing short of magnificent. Better than Joe Dirt’s, even. And as far as country music goes, Marty Stuart & Travis Tritt were rocking the mullet way before Billy Ray came on the scene.
BTW, wasn’t there a TV show once called The Mullets?
How about that female contestant from last year’s Survivor? She claimed that her husband liked her to wear it because it makes her look sexy.
What, no Paul & Linda McCartney? The Wings years gave us some seriously bad hair.
How about Stallone’s Rambo mullet? That thing could have killed half of whatever bad guys he was fighting all by itself! I also have to second Kurt Russell’s 80’s mullet. It just made him look tougher in both Escape from New York and The Thing.
I don’t see how they could have the kid from Married with Children and no Bono!!! Bono rocked his mullet.
Limahl formely of Kajagoo, and Bono without question.
Indigo Girls. Are you sure that Jagr’s mane is not a hair extention?
no one’s mullet stands the test of time. eeewwww!
I really thought Bono circa mid-80s would be No. 1. Have they even seen Live Aid??? His mullett was HIGHLIGHTED and everything. Billy Ray Cyrus had nothing on that!
I’m a bit surprised Richard Marx didn’t make the uh, cut.
It’s good! rolex watch?
luxury watch?
