Be absolutely stunned by Jimmy Page??? 😍 Don't even get me started on Robert Plant. Ovaries explode

Ha yep!! got me on the words there then biddy
I'm a massive Prince fan though so not shocked by any song lyrics tbh
My older sister saw T. Rex, around 1971, at a little club in our home city. She took me to see their film Born to Boogie at the pictures. I have such great memories of the late 60s/early 70s.

I have been listening obsessively to a 1985 live recording of Purple Rain where Prince does this epic guitar solo. It is extraordinary. It just keeps going.

It is doing strange and wondrous things to me🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤔🤪🤭🤭🤭😊

My pin up was David Coverdale, also lead singer with Deep Purple and latterly with Whitesnake. Loads of cock songs on their albums xx

Check out the falsetto
(I think that's what it is 🤔)

@Hailtomyteeth

Smirking because I was a teenager in the seventies. Men were beautiful then.

Someone mentioned Pamela Des Barres - her husband Michael was a picture on my wall. He's still hot now - see his fb.

Oooh yes, Michael Des Barres and Silverhead......also responsible for one of my favourite ‘cock lyrics’, More Than Your Mouth Can Hold!😳

I'm with you OP. Also, Michael Hutchence anyone?

I just think Jimmy would be amazing in bed

Does anyone remember what Germaine Greer wrote about Led Zep in The Female Eunuch? I don't have a copy any more but I have an uncomfortable feeling that how they treated their groupies and talked about them was an example she used of how much men hated/despised women and especially sexually active women.

I like the music, they were just slightly too old for me to find them attractive at the time but now I'm an old lady and I do think they looked gorgeous but prefer to admire letch- from a safe distance.

I would like to take a moment to remember a young Peter Gabriel. Absolutely gorgeous.

Love his voice, but for looks sebastian bach from skid row

The 70s rock band stuff is somehow like the Marvel/super hero movies of today. As you can see I like both: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/4144002-am-I-the-only-one-who-never-liked-Tony-Stark?watched=1&msgid=104091208#104091208

In hindsight a lot of them (but not all) probably many young women/fans very badly.

But yes to some great looking male lead singers, Plant, Coverdale, etc.

[quote Mother87]Discovered this video recently... Smoke on The Water... the lead singer is probably v famous..

Paul Rogers of Free. / Bad Company.

Lovely looking man , great voice. Did a tour with Queen after Freddie died.
Has very twinkly eyes.
But look for an old TOTP video of Free on the show. They are so drugged up it’s amazing the beeb filmed them. I will try to find a link.

@mother87. One of them overdosed soon after this.

Love this thread! Am 63 so grew up with Led Zep, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd and Free. Still love long hair on the right man, it’s just so sexy. Robert Plant was the ultimate rock god but Paul Rodgers, Ian Gillan and Dave Gilmore are up there too.

Thanks for the clip @Happytentoes. I went to Paul Rogers house once when he was out 😊

Only through the 21st century lens. Those young women were totally up for it. I was there and remember it well.

Paul Rogers and Jimmy Page were in "The Firm" together in the early 80s (saw them at Hammersmith Odeon 1984).

That fact it took 143 posts to remember says it all

Only through the 21st century lens

The Female Eunuch was written in 1970.

Those young women were totally up for it. I was there and remember it well.

Sure, but some of those young women got very disrespected and mistreated. It's not the shagging that bothered her (Germaine Greer was up for plenty of that herself!) it was the attitude that went with it.

@LadyfromtheBelleEpoque

Have you seen pictures of young Dave Gilmore? (pink Floyd)

Yes. He was almost obscenely good looking.

Greer wasn’t mainstream though, she was a pioneer of feminism. I was 17 when The Female Eunuch came out and it took years before I saw its relevance to me and my life.

While I agree completely with your second point, we’re still making the ever more prevalent mistake of judging yesterday by today’s standards.

@BeautifulStar

Phwoar!!!

Fucking hell - gorgeous. Dave Gilmour was hardly going to end up working down the local council offices looking like that, was he?

A young Eddie Vedder, Mike Patton, Chris Cornell and Scott Weiland please thanks
And Dave Grohl now

The ever more prevalent mistake of judging yesterday by today's standards
I hear you but where do you draw the line, at what point are you excusing child abuse and paedophilia?
it's difficult because I was really into all this and the music is still very powerful and meaningful to me, I didn't see the misogyny at the time

I’m not excusing it. Obviously to 21st century, decades of experience me it’s very wrong. But to 20th century teenage me it was fine.

My first husband played in one of those bands that nearly made it (someone mentioned Terry Reid, who was one of his mates) and girls were all over them. It’s no wonder all that attention went to their heads.
