Page 2 of 3

7. Rivers Cuomo: The smart, well-educated front man of Weezer has been known to sport some black rims. It makes him look like Leonard Hoffstader on The Big Bang Theory (played by Johnny Galecki). Bottom line: He looks really good in them.

6. Ringo Starr: Though he didn't don the eyewear while in the Beatles, in later years Ringo Starr has seldom been seen without wearing a nice pair of shades.

5. John Lennon: In his latter, post-Beatle years, John Lennon wore his trademark coke-bottle glasses and had them on when he was shot in December 1980. The glasses that he wore that night appear on Yoko Ono's 1981 release, Season of Glass.

4. Elvis Costello: Throughout his career, Elvis Costello has been a bit of a nerd rocker. However, his quirkiness has served him well throughout his career with such hit singles as "Veronica" and "Everyday I Write the Book."
