Versatile vocalist Mike Patton is best known for his stint as lead singer for the band Faith No More. But I remember him best for his kickass hair in the "Epic" video.
You remember the clip: it was Faith No More's breakthrough single, and Patton was sporting some pretty sweet lines, as was the style in the late '80s/early '90s.
I was 12 years old when "Epic" dropped, and I was so taken by the song and Patton's killer locks that I had my Auntie Kim--a fabulous stylist--carve some sweet, sweet lines into my mullet. Here's a pic of me and my dad from his work Christmas party, circa 1989 or 1990.

Now that's some PEAK hesher hair right there. I mean, it still doesn't come close to the master, but gimme a break: I was just a punk kid with a mullet.
Anyway, Happy Birthday, Mr. Patton. Thanks for the inspiration.
