Have you noticed how more and more musicians are taking the stage sporting eyewear these days? Burnell Taylor, one of this season's American Idol top 10 finalists, is only one of the more recent examples. No longer a sign of frumpiness or an unfinished look, glasses have made a comeback as a powerful weapon in any musical celebrity's style arsenal.
It's a recent trend, but also a recurring one. Eyewear has been an important style identifier for decades. So much so, in fact, that many of the musicians featured in our "Specs, drugs and rock 'n' roll" photo gallery will forever live on in our collective consciousness with four eyes.
Take a good look, and if we have left your favourite bespectacled musician off our list, let us know in the comments below.
