Agree with most so far. Olivia is gorgeous, David Bowie, Barry Gibb, Jim Morrison, Sting (Lemmy? um, no). I would like to nominate J[eff Buckley](https://www.biography.com/people/jeff-buckley-21186715). Love those brooding looks. ---

If we’re doing most beautiful female musicians, I think those are Shania Twain, Shakira and Cheryl Cole. ---

Ok, with all this Olivia Newton John talk, I feel safe nominating a woman. Do you know Gabriella Quevedo? She’s quite a guitar player, as well. (Understatement of the year!)

> [@Shoeless](#): > > My wife has a thing for Rhett Miller of the Old 97s. > [https://www.rhettmiller.com/photos](https://www.rhettmiller.com/photos) Heck yeah. Even after hearing him tell hilarious stories about how gross he is, he’s still hot. I don’t really like new country music, but Luke Bryan is nice to look at. George Michael was ridiculously pretty, in a good way. And Gavin Rossdale. 'Nuff said. ---
