Elvis was very handsome but he didn't have the rough dirty hairy rockstar look. He looked "clean" and handsome. It's different to the Jim Morrison-type look

XelaM · 15/12/2021 20:11

It's like comparing Marlon Brando to Paul Newman Grin

Not my music genre at all but I've always thought that a young Bret Michaels from Poison was stunning.

Definitely my genre, as is Sebastian Bach. Both so pretty 😍

@MrsTerryPratchett Oh, I agree! Marlon Brando in "Streetcar Named Desire" and Paul Newman in "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" any day of the week!

To be fair, I wouldn't say "no" to any man on this thread Grin

@DialSquare indeed very beautiful!

Exactly

DialSquare I didn't know him but oh so my type! Love men who can carry off long hair (as I mentioned love young Robert Plant as no one can beat THAT mane, but facially your guy is just a dream!)

CatAndHisKit · 16/12/2021 00:16

AND with Robert Plant it's te voice for me - hencne I like the whole image, but without knowing annything about Poison guy (or the sound) - beautiful.

RobertSmithsLipstick · 16/12/2021 01:05

For a very androgynous, pretty looking man, how about Pete Burns?

XelaM · 16/12/2021 01:33

@RobertSmithsLipstick Young Pete Burns was so gorgeous! Blush so shocking what he did to himself!

Dave Gilmour by miles!!

I know what you mean about the voice. Bret Michaels was beautiful but the person who holds a special place in my heart is Steve Marriott from the Small Faces. I've loved him since I can remember. He wasn't stunning but the voice was.

@MmeSosostris I get it! Grin

@LittleDidSheKnow

He is divine. Such beautiful eyes and smile 😊

EssexLioness · 16/12/2021 15:21

Yuk, definitely not for me. He looks like a gormless idiot

MmeSosostris · 16/12/2021 17:42

@essexlioness you are soulless. The man is genius immortalised in denim and long hair.

Robert Plant and Jimmy Page between 1971 and 1973 looked stunning to me as a teenager. Wow!

As I got older though I read a lot more about Page, groupies, underage, etc. and it's awful to look back at that. Totally shocking.

Also, I learned that Robert Plant had a child with both his wife, and then later her sister! I know that a BIL/SIL fantasy can be a thing for some people, but that's step too far...

Still lover their music, and Plant solo stuff too. He'd only got better musically.

Hemingwayscatz · 17/12/2021 14:12

What’s with all the Paul McCartney threads recently? It’s really weird.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 17/12/2021 14:43

Something on Netflix? We don't have that at the moment, so I haven't seen it.

Sparklingbrook · 17/12/2021 22:04

I have no idea. There's been a multi part documentary thingy on Disney Plus called Get Back. I made it through half an hour, it's for the die hard fans I think.
It's Beatles thread month for sure.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 17/12/2021 22:14

Aha! That's probably it. We don't have Disney Plus either.

We only have it because DS2 (19) signed up. No idea what he's watching on it. Grin Not 'Get Back' I wouldn't have thought.
