’I just dont get the appeal of most of these men. They look like they need a good wash’

I think you’re misinterpreting ‘filthy’ Grin

@RedRobin100

Seriously, Springsteen…no one else?!
Hell yes!

I’m also going to throw Prince in the mix. He would have been so filthy.

I of course meant Dave Gahan. Bloody autocorrect

I always liked Mike Patton from Faith No More, especially so in the videos for A Small Victory and Evidence. Probably was a bit too crazy for me in real life though!
How did I forget Mike Patton! In the video for ashes to ashes 😍

Soon yes, yes yes to Eddie Vedder and Chris Cornell (😥)... Dave as a frontman 😍😍 as the drummer in Nirvana, not so much, must be the beard! 😅

I’m sorry you’re all wrong, Trent Reznor of NIN is and always will be the hottest frontman of all time. Smart, driven he was intense and angry and hot when he was younger now he’s intense, motivated and smouldering as an older dad of 4 and by all accounts he’s an amazing dad and husband and all round good human too!

CousinQuandary · 26/02/2022 11:00

I do rather love Bruce Dickinson. He has nice jumpers and a pilot’s licence.
Henry Rollins used to be very shaggable.
Jon Bon Jovi is just adorable.

Ha ha he blocked DH on Twitter for saying his new music isn’t as good as the old NIN stuff!

@ssd

I just dont get the appeal of most of these men. They look like they need a good wash. I've never seen an appealing picture of Michael Hutchense.
What are you talking about. Get your eyes checked. He was absolutely stunning.
balalake · 26/02/2022 11:08

OP I don't think you need help for liking Dave Gahan. You would if it was Chris Martin given the music for bedwetters his band makes.

The most charismatic frontman I think ever was Freddie Mercury.

MrsMarkRonson · 26/02/2022 11:13

Bryan Ferry
Damon Albarn

Honourable mention to Jeff Pezzati of Naked Raygun. Mesmerising. hubba

TottiePlantagenet · 26/02/2022 11:16

Robert Plant for oozing sex appeal.
Morten Harket for pure beauty.

End of thread.

I'm glad my thread is still going 😀

Some excellent contributions in my absence.

Young Springsteen is going on the list ✅

Josh Homme v sexy but have gone off him since he kicked that female photographer (plus lots of rumours about him being not v nice bloke).

Nick Cave can reduce me to tears with his voice but am HOWLING at Boaby the Barman 🤣🤣🤣🤣

No to Brandon Flowers and Brandon Urie - too clean-cut and pretty. Flowers is a charisma void from what I've seen.

Whoever posted the pictures of James Hetfield - thank you 🥵

Sebastian Bach was a stud but he's forever Gil from Gilmore Girls for me now 🥰.

And for whoever said my beloved Dave is off-puttingly camp, that's a huge part of his appeal to me. LOVE the ambiguity, find it very sexy.

Hutchence is way out in front here. The man was just OTHER LEVEL sexual. Am off to watch multiple videos of him eye-fucking the camera, purely for research purposes y'know.........

@AllTheSunshine

IMO Dave Gahan looks like Martin Lewis from money saving expert.

So noGrin

I have a crush on Martin Lewis but not Dave Gahan.

Jim Morrison.

Morrissey, before he turned into Nigel Farage.

Clytemnestra4 · 26/02/2022 11:33

Chris Cornell. With Eddie Vedder a close second.

JaneJeffer · 26/02/2022 11:33

Just to prove my point...
He looks like Derek Acorah

Phyllis321 · 26/02/2022 11:36

I can't post an image of a young David Gilmour but he was exceptionally beautiful. My heart belongs to another but David was undeniably lovely.
