@peaches99

Bloodyshitystorms so glad someone else said Michael Stipe. I have never met anyone else who agrees with me. There’s just something about him! Wink
I agree too he's compelling
golddustwomen · 26/02/2022 08:58

Ha op this is brilliant Grin

I completely agree. But also would like to throw in Stevie Nicks. I am a straight women but my god she is perfect!

JayniSummers · 26/02/2022 08:59

@Imsittinginthekitchensink

I may have a different answer tomorrow but right now it will be Michael Hutchence.
This is the right answer

I've never understood the Dave Grohl fascination. He's not that great looking and doesn't appear to have much pressense.

Early Brandon Flowers, Sam's Town days, shorter hair and tash 🥰

@LazyMareofEastown

Ferry is a giant pro-hunt Tory though.

Boner killer.

And married a woman nearly 40 years younger than him!

Ian Gillan or Robert Plant - I have a type Smile

Not sure many people will agree with me but James Hetfield from Metallica in his 1993 era was sexy as fuck!

RedRobin100 · 26/02/2022 09:12

Seriously, Springsteen…no one else?!

Bonusjonas · 26/02/2022 09:12

If this was a men’s forum discussing women we’d be horrified but…

Eddie Vedder always, he has matured gracefully.

Brandon Flowers back in Hot Fuss days when he carried a bit more weight.

I am also unnaturally obsessed with Adam Lambert and Brian Molko. I think it’s the make up. If men in their 40s rocked up at ‘spoons like that I’d avoid them but as singers, then carry on.

Young Robert Plant, Song Remains The Same film. On stage not the pretentious in between fantasy bits. Although I can't get what he looks like now out of my head. He still looks lovely these days but not in the same way. Seeing his new band in a couple of months and rather excited, but not in that way. Sorry Planty!
Ditto Axl Rose. Once upon a time he could make swaying his hips in white jeans and a bandana look sexy, obviously not now.
I did have a thing for Bon Jovi until seeing them live - the costume changes and blow drying his hair interludes put me off.
Younger Bruce, yes. Older Bruce too much boring chat live. Nice body but works out I think and that puts me off.
Kurt Cobain, yes. Hot in a cardigan. Although someone on another thread said they once saw him at a festival walking about and he was actually literally filthy, and not in the good way.
Skin was incredibly sexy on stage. Very athletic climbing on everything. Not sure she still does that but to be fair she's 50 now.
It's a lot about the physicality for me.

WhateverHappenedToFayWray · 26/02/2022 09:15

James Hetfield

If men discussed women in the same terms as this thread I wouldn't be horrified at all. I'd be very surprised at it being so polite and not descending into a tits and arse filthfest

astrocroc · 26/02/2022 09:17

Mark E. Smith without a doubt

maddiemookins16mum · 26/02/2022 09:18

Michael Hutchence. He ooozed.

Scout2016 · 26/02/2022 09:18

@Bonusjonas I know what you mean! I am the same with names. Bono and the Edge I think "grow up you pretentious arses". But Slash and Skin somehow all fine.

WinterOfOurDiscoTent · 26/02/2022 09:23

Kurt Cobain.
Still no contest after all these years.

astrocroc · 26/02/2022 09:24

If we're talking singers in general then Sufjan Stevens is up there for me

autienotnaughty · 26/02/2022 09:28

Yeah it's Michael Hutchence sorry everyone

Rogue1001MNer · 26/02/2022 09:28

Back in the day, it had to be mick jagger.

Some of those old 60s recordings, he's just beautiful and he looks into the camera like he's going to do bad things to you and you're going to let him.

Agree with jarvis, Brett and Kurt. And a young axel. And Adam ant.
So many pretty boys!

SerendipityJane · 26/02/2022 09:29

@Floralnomad

Phil Lynott
Are there any girls out there with a little oirish in them ...

as it used to go Grin when I saw them in 197mumble ...

One of the greatest frontmen full stop. Had that charisma to make a huge concert hall feel like his living room. (See also: Freddie Mercury, or Ian Anderson ...)

GrouchyKiwi · 26/02/2022 09:32

Yes to Lenny Kravitz.

Nick Cave. That man is incredibly sexy when performing. Red Right Hand live is just. Wow.

BitOutOfPractice · 26/02/2022 09:33

@LazyMareofEastown Ferry’s sons are. He’s been much quieter on any lust-killing issues. Anyway I’d tune out of anything he said to concentrate on drooling. And, as Groucho Marx said “if you don’t like my principles, I have others!” Grin

@Mackmama oh yes. He still has it. In spades

Rogue1001MNer · 26/02/2022 09:34

@choppolata @LazyMareofEastown
Seen them several times. Captain has the best stage presence. Unfortunate but true

RestingMurderousFace · 26/02/2022 09:34

@SpikeWithoutASoul

Michael Hutchence
Is the correct answer. ⭐️
