Should Nelson Have Cut Their Hair in the 80s?

I was listening to “Love and Affection” by Nelson while driving the other day, and I was amazed at how much I love that song.

Back in the day, I liked it, but I would never have admitted that in public because Nelson was so not cool. They were one step below Winger on the pop metal scale of cool. Not even the loser kid on Beavis & Butthead would have worn a Nelson shirt.

I was wondering whether they would have been taken more seriously if they hadn’t gone the pop metal route and just styled themselves a straight-up pop band. If they had cut their hair and worn less flowing clothing.

What do you think?
