We dissected this awhile back, and through pretty much all of the 80s and 90s, the BBs looked ridiculous most of the time with the notable exception (sometimes, still not always) of Carl. Full stop.
I find it largely just amusing, although I suppose at certain moments in their career it didn't help them a great deal and certainly hasn't helped their image age well. But it's mostly just goofy stuff.
But I can't, with a straight face, parse it to the point of saying the goofy 80s neon stuff looks better than anything else. Mike wearing any clothes is preferable to this:
But I can't say any of it is good, so it's kind of grasping as straws to say Mike in a big oversized puffy shoulder neon shirt in the 80s with the stupid baseball cap looks better than the picture above. Listening to "Summer of Love" is better than sticking my head in a vice too.
