I am new here so I hope this is the right forum, instead of IMHO, but I’ve been listening to a lot of music lately, and have eclectic tastes in men.  
Who would you say, are the top 3 most attractive men in music? Lets go from 1980 to present.  
My list:

1. Bret Michaels (young)
2. Sylvain Sylvain
3. Nikki Sixx

I know this is about male musicians but I had to mention Maria Brink of the group “In This Moment”. Holy shit she is hot.

Jim Morrison (before he grew a beard and acquired a spare tire) should be on the list somewhere.

So…has anyone seen the two of them in the same room at the same time? Like maybe they’re attending the same party, but Olivia ducks out and then Barry appears, adjusting his beard inconspicuously?
