Do beards write better songs?
Posted on | January 26, 2010 | No Comments
So many good male singer-songwriters are bearded. And I’ve noticed that there seems to be a correlation between the type of music one performs and the amount of hair on one’s face.
Bearded songwriters include:
- Ray LaMontagne
- Samuel Beam (Iron & Wine)
- Andy Hull (Manchester Orchestra, Right Away Great Captain)
- Bon Iver
Bearded men write more peaceful, lyrical, soulful songs, while the shaven men tend to write more clever, melodic or pop-friendly songs. Or maybe the beards force you to write music this way.
Unbearded songwriters:
- Ben Gibbard (Death Cab for Cutie, Postal Service)
- Andrew Bird
- Ben Folds
- Conor Oberst
- Every female songwriter except Madonna
Beards are gross. I don’t even know why I brought this up.
