Who's your rock/indie band crush?

I've read threads on here about celebrity crushes and they're always the same, usually Harry Styles, Chris Hemsworth and the like. All of mine over the years, since I was like 10, have been a lot less well-known/obscure- nearly always members of rock or indie bands. Mine is currently another band member, band are from the NW. Who are yours? ☺️

If I had to pick a current rock band crush it would probably be Brandon Flowers. But nobody could ever take the place of Michael Hutchence circa 1985-1992

He was a bit before my time but yes he was beautiful! Mine used to look a bit like him when his hair was longer about 8 years ago 😋

Mine was always Carl Barat from The Libertines. He still looks pretty fine today but I'm not available anymore so he's lost his chance with me.

Not so much as he looks now, but 20 years ago: Eugene Hutz from Gogol Bordello.

Brett Anderson from Suede

Oh gosh yes. He's improved with age although always lovely to look at & still a great front man. Saw Suede 2 years ago

He was very shy & sensitive but totally came alive on stage. I was lucky enough to see INXS on my 18th birthday headlining at Wembley Stadium. Oh those tight trousers....🤣

Always, but now more than ever. Holy hell, he’s aged well.

My username gives that answer away though 😆

Saw them last year and did think he was looking remarkably buff. Another one ageing like a fine Bordeaux.

Brandon Flowers, hence the username! His peak gorgeousness was around 2012. He’s gone a bit mad with the veneers and botox since but I still love him.
Also have a soft spot for Billie Joe Armstrong. Not so much his looks but his don’t give a f*ck attitude and puerile sense of humour.

i can’t stop watching Yung Blud videos 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Oi - Billie Joe is mine!

Ok, I’ll just keep Brandon, don’t want to be greedy! Wink

Steven Tyler. After all these years he's still got it for me. Staring up his leather clad leg when he was singing was my highlight of the year
