No, it's between Rober Plant c1970 (that bloody mane! and figure) and the young Mick Jagger (most surreally beautiful face).
My ex boyfriend looked almost exactly like a young Mick Jagger Grin women were always throwing themselves at him, which was very annoying...

I'd say Robert Plant is the ultimate for me as well!

Babyvenusplant · 14/12/2021 00:35

Not at all for me

TurquoiseBaubles · 14/12/2021 00:40

I can offer you a young Greg Lake as well. Though I agree, I had forgotten about Robert Plant

Ah. This takes me back to the most amazing arguments around the Christmas dinner table between my Mum and Dad Grin. John. Paul. Marc Bolan. David Bowie. Robert. Mick. Then later on in years my Mum would really let rip with Leo Sayer, David Essex and all the gender benders. And my Dad would sulk and put I Am The Walrus and Mull Of Kintyre on the record player with the hump.

Margaret ooh not surprising they threw themselves at him - though with Mick it was always the moves / talent too. He's actually aged well until about 60 (changed of course but stayed attractive / chrismatic).

Robert Plant though - that was a moment in time, even in the 80s not the same. I'm not saying he looks bad for an older man now but there was magic in 1970! I@m a huge fan of his voice which was then unbelievable!

SpinnersWindow · 14/12/2021 00:54

Oh please.

No.

Onlyabean · 14/12/2021 00:56

@WorkingItOutAsIGo which one?

niceupthedanceagain · 14/12/2021 01:01

Elvis.

@TrashyPanda

Definitely not!

In the Beatles alone, George was better looking, incredibly sexy, with possibly the best rock star hair ever.

Paul had a chubby, little boy face, really quite bland.

George was my Beatle too. He would have aged so beautifully. Flowers
DustyMaiden · 14/12/2021 01:25

No. I look as surprised as he does by that comment.

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 14/12/2021 01:27

Best looking rock star of all time is/was Elvis Presley.

McCartney always looked so pleading, yuck!

Dita73 · 14/12/2021 01:27

NO!!! He looks like Droopy Dog and is a bit of a tosser!

Jim Morrison was stunning.

Frogsonglue · 14/12/2021 02:21

God no. I'd take John or Ringo any day.

backtolifebacktoreality · 14/12/2021 02:23

Michael Hutchence of INXS

VirgilStarkwell · 14/12/2021 02:33

He’s not even the best-looking rockstar in the Beatles.

Geeoooooorrrggge 😍

gabsdot45 · 14/12/2021 02:40

Nah, he wasn't even the best looking Beatle.

JingsMahBucket · 14/12/2021 02:51

None of the people mentioned on this thread are/were good looking at all.

Mermaidwaves · 14/12/2021 02:52

Robert Plant! (Swoon) that hair and voice, what a moist maker he was!Grin

Mermaidwaves · 14/12/2021 02:55

@Dita73

I totally see Droopy! GrinGrinGrin

BoreOfWhabylon · 14/12/2021 02:58

I was there. Saw them all up close (no massive stadium gigs in those days).

The two best looking men from that era were Cat Stevens and Scott Walker. No contest.

(Honourable mention goes to Eric Clapton)

floatinginmyhomie · 14/12/2021 02:59

George was without a doubt the best in every way❤️

Mrmojorising71 · 14/12/2021 03:05

I guess you've never laid eyes on Jim Morrison....

Liverbird77 · 14/12/2021 03:06

Michael Nesmith, followed by Paul.
