Do you fancy Jarvis Cocker?

[gotelltheoldmandowntheroad]

I know I'm not alone.

From the moment I first saw him when Common People came out, and he was staring into my soul on Top of the Pops. His voice, his sass, his talent. Even today, I have fancied him since he appeared and still do.

Anyone else?

I quite liked the singing of Dreamland at Glastonbury, but was disappointed when OA arrived and worried he was going to be there for the rest of the set, so pleased when he left.
It's funny because Neil Tennant was beautiful back in the day, and I still think he's got a certain something at 68. On the Glastonbury thread somebody said they would like to go antiques shopping and for afternoon tea with him and I thought that was perfect.

I just thought he had pretty eyes and good hair.

I had the biggest crush on him when I was in secondary school.
last year he bought 2 copies of my self published book (not about him!). I was so happy!

That is so cool! Well done. I'm curious about the book. How did he find it? I would be over the moon!!

Of course - what not to fancy?

Oh my lord yes. I’m of a similar age, lived in Sheffield, our social circles at that time ran like venn diagrams-we went to similar places, (he told me he liked my skirt once) I worked with the sister of the woman whose window he fell out off and broke both his legs, went to his sisters wedding (groom’s side). My dh was similar in looks then, tall and skinny and is now, tall and ageing well.
My sister though dislikes him as when she worked at a very niche venue in the 90s he and Damien Hurst tried to crash a party. Did the “do you know who we are?” She said yes and you’re still not coming in.
But I would still.

I have always thought he would be absolutely filthy in bed ( in a good way 🤣)
I love his voice, he is just so sexy when he talks!
I loved how he looked in the 90s but not a fan of beards so not so fanciable to me nowadays 😍

God no! I don't find him attractive at all but each to their own.

I’m so put off by his name. I can’t explain it but I find it hideous.

I feel the same way but I often have a strong reaction to names.

If we're talking chiselled skinny 90s indie sorts it was this all the way for me

Who is that?

This is the thing, he is not my type, well I've never really had a type and my husband could not be further from JC in looks.

I go for charisma every time and some people just get me like that.

Loved his music. "Common People" is a classic. Never found him physically attractive

You seem to have identified by 90s/00s type perfectly. 😄

Jarvis, if you're reading this, you're on my list 😘

That said, Brett in the Animal Nitrate video is the sexiest fucking thing eveerrrrrrr

He's mine! Hands off! Ok... can we share..? I used to have a lifesized poster on my landing of the man... I even had sex under it once, gazing up at him...

Brett Anderson swoon

I had that picture on my wall as a teenager 😘

@NooNakedJacuzziness is that Brett Anderson? Suede?
I'm definitely pro Jarvis. Always had a thing for tall, skinny, angst-ridden men (Richard Ashcroft, anyone??). Funny how DP now is short and, well, well-padded, shall we say?

Fantastic!

Yes. I also think he's good in bed

Of a similar ilk is Brian Molko who I also fancy.
Just stare at me through floppy black hair I guess and I'm yours.

Brian Molko is stunning, i joke he is my DH's boy crush and dh never argues, lol.

Brett Anderson was stunning then but not now.

Jarvis Cocker was good in some very well taken and flattering photos, but not in real life.

I think he has a very attractive personality and don't mind his looks in general, but he strikes me like he'd be a bit whiffy - hair always v skanky, needs a wash. That's not attractive.

Yes. I did in my formative years but even now with one of his tweed jackets with elbow patches and a twinkle in his eye I'd be tempted.

I still fancy him in the Babies video.

We're all grown up now though 😔

I absolutely used to back in the day! I loved his voice, his general air of loucheness, his cheekbones and elegant suits, and the dramatic shapes he threw on stage. But he's knocking on a bit for me personally these days. I think he's great though. Disco 2000 was on constant repeat in my bedroom in the 90s, and his 'Sunday Service' on 6 music was always interesting and fun, and introduced me to loads of music I hadn't heard before.

I finished his narration of his book of 'Good Pop, Bad Pop' recently and that was a treat. It's a sort of memoir based around objects in his attic that he has accrued over the years, that also serves as a sort of personal manifesto about art and creativity and all that good stuff.
