@Choirgirl2021

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

Still unbelievable to look at though.

Never knew he was blonde!

As a boy and early music shots

@Classica

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.
Plain Western European? 😖 So much wrong with this. Native American is no more exotic than the whole homogeneous area of ‘Western Europe’ as you’ve lumped it together.

I would never have guessed that was him as a boy.

'so much wrong with this'

save me from the little anguished face

God, no.

I live with a prog rock fanatic so I know far more about Pink Floyd than I could ever have imagined there was to know. I have to admit that Syd Barrett and David Gilmour were absolutely gorgeous in their youth. Poor, poor Syd.

It's a full moustached Freddie Mercury for me. So beautiful.

dropitlikeitsloth · 14/12/2021 22:26

Absolutely @XelaM

In a similar hairy way.

I give you Glenn Frey from The Eagles.

@Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g

Yep. That’s a great picture of both of them. I see pictures of them from the 60/70s and see such extraordinary young men and then David in the 80s looks like a slightly shifty estate agent.

What happened to those wild, idealistic young men?🤨

mark knopfler was good.

I have just fainted.

NandorTheRelentless · 14/12/2021 22:32

No

Sparklingbrook · 14/12/2021 22:34

Freddie Mercury? Nooooo.

Ghislainedefeligonde · 14/12/2021 22:36

Elvis was just beautiful when he was younger. Paul doesn’t come close, but then I always preferred John anyway!
Lenny Kravitz is so sexy too but I think Elvis is the better looking of the two

Keep ‘em coming, @drop. I see a whole new obsession opening up...

dropitlikeitsloth · 14/12/2021 22:45

Also, has anyone mentioned Jeff Buckley?

@chiefcha Hah, I LOVE Freddie Mercury and I had a huge crush on him throughout my teenage years.

RobertSmithsLipstick · 14/12/2021 23:51

Yes, Freddie has that very Maleness going on.
Not traditionally handsome, but a fine looking, exotic presence.

I fell in love with beards in my mid teens due to Lindsay Buckingham's beard on the cover of Rumours. Can't tell you how delighted I was when beards came back into fashion a few years ago 💕

RobertSmithsLipstick · 15/12/2021 00:01

I adore beards!
I love hairy men.

MajorNeville · 15/12/2021 00:23

No, PM does nothing for me. Elvis was stunning. Dave Gilmore is still a beautiful man, even in his 70's. Robert Plant, oh my! I love that long haired 60's/70's rocker look, the music is my thing too.

Lenny Kravitz in that perfume ad is amazing, Lisa Bonet has been a very lucky lady in the men stakes!

CasaBonita · 15/12/2021 00:36

I've just replied to this very same question on another thread, but I'll say it again...

In 1969 Paul was absolutely gorgeous. I've watched Get Back and he's just so god damn lovely in it. Not only was he very nice to look at but he just exudes confidence and creativity
