November 1 marks the first day of Movember and to celebrate the month of manly beards the team at Spotify has created a special playlist. The list includes the “best bearded bands and artists of our time,” according to the streaming music service.
As expected Le Grange of ZZ Top sits on top of the Spotify list. However, he is not alone, also making the list are the Foo Fighters, My Morning Jacket, Kings of Leon, and several other bands with bearded musicians and lead singers.
Spotify chose to release the list not only to celebrate bearded musicians but also to raise money for Movember, a month in which we raise awareness about mens health. Fundraising efforts in November have helped raise awareness about mens health while also providing money for cancer research and other worthwhile causes.
Here are the top 10 bearded groups and musicians according to Spotify.
