Was Paul McCartney in 1969 the best looking rock star of all time?

[PaulForeverYokoNever]

AIBU to agree?

What ? How is this a thing , no absolutely not 😂

@Choirgirl2021 ooooh 😍

Stuart Sutcliffe for me. One of the originall Beatles line up who sadly died very young when they were in Hamburg.

I think Elvis tops the list. He was so striking.

Closely followed by Jim Morrison, Lenny Kravitz and Michael Hutchence.

Was sad to read that Mike Nesmith had died. Always thought he was lovely (terrible 60s/70s hairdo and sideburns aside )

George ! sexiest Beatle definitely.
Also of that era - Syd Barrett, Keef (someone above said when he was with Anita Pallenberg - definitely), Paul Rodgers (saw a recent interview and he still looks pretty good!) Also Steve Winwood.

As people like Bon Jovi and Michael Hutchence are being mentioned think it's ok to say that nobody mentioned on the thread rivals John Taylor IMO. But he's a bass player, not the frontman/singer so not sure he's allowed to be counted.

How has no one mentioned Roger Daltrey?

Paul wasn't even the best looking Beatle imo George was.

Kurt Cobain, all day long.

Nope you're all wrong, Daryl Hall was actually the prettiest man alive at one point. I wasn't born then, but if I could nip back to the early seventies I wouldn't mind bumping into him.

George was the best Beatle. I did like John's arrogance but watching Get Back made me uncomfortable with just how... not there John was.

I absolutely loved the Beatles when I was a teenager in the 90s. Properly in love with George and John. Watching Get Back also hit me just how young they all were. I'm now in my 40s and feel a bit creepy old woman finding them, George in particular, attractive. They now look too young!

But never Paul. God no.

Fuck no

My favourite is David Coverdale in about 1980, but I think George was better looking than Paul. Middle-aged Paul was quite nice looking in a sort of everyman way.

But he's a bass player, not the frontman/singer so not sure he's allowed to be counted.

Do you have to be a singer to be considered a "star"? I'm not convinced. I'd actually take issue more with the description of Paul McCartney as "rock" - isn't that style considered pop rather than rock?

My god.

If we are talking singer songwriters, how about Seal, Terence Trent D'Arby, Harry Styles, anyone really 😂

I meant for the purpose of the thread more than anything. wasn't sure what the rules were.

Oooh David Coverdale though. Yes. But it's always going to be John Taylor for me and dare I say it George Michael, he was very beautiful back in the day.

Keef

Keef and Mick were gorgeous when they were young.

Nah. John and George. George the best looking but John… had something.
Other beautiful men of that era include Syd Barrett, David Gilmore, Peter Frampton and Jimi Hendrix.
I suppose Jim Morrison, but i didn't like the Doors.
Robert Plant and Paul Rodgers both get there because of their incredible voices and presence, not their looks.
In my book.

Paul was good looking but I'm not sure I'd call him sexy.

Ew no

Not even close!
It’s David Lee Roth.
John Taylor from Duran Duran
And all the Bon jovi boys .

John Lennon circa Shea Stadium, covered in sweat, ripping into "Twist & Shout". Oooft. Filthy.

DH has been teasing me over my reaction to Paul in the Get Back doc.

I've been enjoying his jumpers. Such a selection! So preppy and organised jamming away on the piano composing and bloody getting on with it while the others Beatles look drained and ready to break up the band.

He looks like black beauty the horse. So glossy.

@Lottapianos

I hear you OP. Macca was at his peak in 1969 - never looked or sounded better. The rooftop concert footage made me come over all unnecessary

Don't get the George Harrison appeal AT ALL. Prefer Ringo ☺️

YES!! Ringo love his face

I really tried to watch Get Back but I think it's one for the die hard fans.

definitely agree that Jim Morrison beats any of the Beatles, I wouldn't really find any of the Beatles very attractive
