@Choirgirl2021

Dave Gilmore, Pink Floyd
In fairness I know next to nothing about Pink Floyd but OMFG i had no idea how gorgeous he was 😍😍😍😍

To paraphrase John's alleged comment about Ringo "He's not the best drummer in the world. He's not even the best drummer in The Beatles", I would say that Paul wasn't the hottest rock star in the world. He wasn't even the hottest rock star in the Beatles. That would be George.

I feel like I should go to Specsavers with some of these-they just aren't on my 'hot' radar at all. Grin

@SymbollocksInteractionism

Definitely Jim Morrison. He was a beautiful looking man, especially on stage in his leather trousers!
He was incredibly beautiful but for someone reason I always felt slightly repelled by him. Not sure why.
ginghamstarfish · 14/12/2021 13:24

No, not at that time or any other! I did love him when I was a kid though.

FrankGrillosWrist · 14/12/2021 13:26

I suppose If you like the Basset Hound look.

CiderJolly · 14/12/2021 13:26

Elvis was mesmerisingly beautiful.

CAN1M · 14/12/2021 13:28

To the PP who mentioned Stuart Sutcliffe ("the 5th Beatle") - he was WAY more attractive than any of the others and would have aged beautifully. If I had to pick a Beatle on looks alone I would go for George, then Ringo, then Paul then John but not keen on the last two. And the way John treated women was vile: "I used to be cruel to my woman, and physically - any woman. I was a hitter. I couldn't express myself and I hit. I fought men and I hit women". Lovely stuff /s 😒

Ilovedthe70s · 14/12/2021 13:39

Not for me,

Elvis, his face was divine even though he wasn’t “my type “

Greg Lake
Ian Gillan

ArseInTheCoOpWindow · 14/12/2021 13:42

Morrisey was gorgeous too. He turned into a twat though

BusterGonad · 14/12/2021 13:43

Paul McCartney!!! 😂

sandy541 · 14/12/2021 13:45

Elvis Presley
Later on Morton Hackett 😍

ArseInTheCoOpWindow · 14/12/2021 13:48

I also think Bowie was rather beautiful. Put him against a Mcartney and Bowie was miles ahead. No contest

Johnny Marr was my fantasy back in the day.

Elvis Presley Later on Morton Hackett 😍
All three of the members of that group were very hot. But Morton was just sublime.
RobertSmithsLipstick · 14/12/2021 14:16

Marc Bolan was a handsome man.

XelaM · 14/12/2021 14:23

Paul was always too much of a googy-goody to have any real sex appeal. As people have said, he wasn't even the sexiest Beatle (I always preferred John Lennon Blush myself ).

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

Skeumorph · 14/12/2021 14:29

Haha but poor Paul is long dead alas (from another thread).

It was probably Syd Barrett. Though lots of them were easy on the eye... and in the days before hair product, too.

Skeumorph · 14/12/2021 14:31

Yes! The was absolutely something repellent about Jim Morrison.

He kind of looked like a serial killer cult leader.

XelaM · 14/12/2021 14:34

@Skeumorph That's was made him so hot GrinBlush

mrwalkensir · 14/12/2021 14:34

Paul Jones...

RockCrushesLizard · 14/12/2021 14:35

I think this is the Bruce Springsteen picture (though I think there are many sexier)

XelaM · 14/12/2021 14:35

Jim Morrison's weird acid-induced Indian snake poetry very much added to the image Grin

MrsTerryPratchett · 14/12/2021 14:38

@magicstar1 I'm not sure there are any bad pictures of Elvis! Well before a certain date.

We clearly fall into 'types'. I'm in the Lenny/Jim/Elvis group. Sexy, decent lips, no 'boy next door' rockstars thanks. They're supposed to be the antithesis of whomever lives next door. I'd say Slash but he's awful wee.

RobertSmithsLipstick · 14/12/2021 14:39

I've always thought Mick Jagger oozed sex appeal, in that slightly repugnant way.
Certainly not handsome, but looks as if he's filthy in bed.
