I think usability and aesthetics don't have to be polarised into distinct and seperate roles.
whatever it is, it has to be usable or people won't use it (not neccesarily everyone - your target market, or target group etc.)
Aesthetically, it also has to appeal to the same market/group or they won't use it either.
In the Ipod example, if it was only made in barbie pink, you'd see a lot less guys around with ipods, but it still has great usability.
It's not one or the other, it's both.
