Paul was gorgeous but he was never as sexy as Marc Bolan, Roger Taylor or Brian Connolly from Sweet

MyOtherProfile · 14/12/2021 19:47

Tbh it didn't so much look like he was posing as much as just having fun.

I have never seen a picture of him where I thought he was remotely good looking!

Goawayquickly · 14/12/2021 20:09

Jim Morriston would have stunk to high heaven in those leather trousers.

Johnny Cash for me

Not in my opinion.

None of the Beatles were good looking! I’ve always found Paul McCartney a bit creepy. “

Creepy, no but like Silvester Stalone’s very weedy kid brother.

Jim Morrison was the sex God of that era. His weird "snake King" image coupled with his sublime beauty was pure sex. It's a shame his looks went downhill very quickly

He was the Lizard King, surely? But yes he oozed sex and filth, just so beautiful. Not sure he lost his looks though…. he just got a bit beardy and hairy. He never made it past 27, after all 😟

Of course, the LIZARD King! How could I forget! I loved the hairy bearded Jim Morrison. He was still sexy as hell!

Unfortunately despite dying at only 27, his physique definitely changed towards the end of his life. But he was THEE ultimate sex symbol of that era

Cat Stevens
Roger Daltry ( at the time)
Bowie
Clapton
Bryan Ferry

Elvis is the only one mentioned so far that I think was attractive, but ideally pre-side burns.

I guess it doesn't help that I really can't be doing with all that late 60's and 70's hairiness. All those beards and massive hairdos - bleurgh!

I agree with a previous poster - I definitely tend to prefer actors' looks over musicians'. Not keen on the sweaty, dishevelled rock god look at all Grin

teaandtoastwithmarmite · 14/12/2021 21:17

I think he was gorgeous.

A young Elvis Presley
Totally.

@Mummyoflittledragon

God no! I preferred him in 1966. Wink
I find Paul SO unattractive!

Still wondering what that photo of Bruce Springsteen is.
Right?!
Faxmesomehalibut · 14/12/2021 21:23

This thread has been an eye opener for me. I’ve been madly in love with Paul McCartney since I was 10 and think he is staggeringly beautiful.
I’m amazed that there are so many who don’t see that. But I guess it’s all subjective. I haven’t found any of the pictures people have posted remotely attractive. Each to their own I suppose. If none of you want Paul, I’m very happy to take him for myself 😁

Panacotta · 14/12/2021 21:27

I don't know how anyone can even compare Paul to Elvis.

Just look at how beautiful he was!

Elvis was such a beautiful boy and had such a strikingly unusual look. I think they say he had some Native American ancestry. Definitely something other than plain Western European.

Looubylou · 14/12/2021 21:43

I find the suggestion absolutely hilarious. Elvis is beyond compare in looks and even more so in voice 💕

Choirgirl2021 · 14/12/2021 21:45

Elvis was originally a blonde. He died his hair black.

Still unbelievable to look at though.

Choirgirl2021 · 14/12/2021 21:45

Dyed!!!
