Although I agree that Ms Emmylou looks great for her age, she’s 61. I don’t usually find grandma-ish (or grandpa-ish) aged people to be really hot.
The good thing about judging “hot” though is, YMMV.
Still, I see a lot of people listed who are attractive, but “brilliant” may be a big ol’ stretch.
Dammit. Someday, I hope that people will put me on lists like this. To be fair, there are many people that are more attractive than me, and even more people that are more musically talented than me. But I can still hope, right? Right?
Dammit again. Curse the lot of you good looking music wizards. Bah…
No one’s said David Bowie? For shame.
I would make out with Jerry Garcia if it would make him alive again.
Psst! Reread post #2!
Two people have cited Bond, and I have to call bullshit. While three of them are quite fetching, their playing is a little weak. Tarted up, technofied and overproduced. They would serve the culture better as lingerie models.
This is a dude I would gladly make a fool of myself over.
70s-era Robbie Robertson. Also Linda Ronstadt, and Emmylou Harris.
Prince is smoking hot, still! Something about him melts my insides. Good god, he is fine.
Judith Holofernes of Wir Sind Helden (on the right)
A few of their videos on YouTube:
Cool - if you ever successful in persuading the lovely Natalie to run away with you, do let me know. Then I can be sure that I’m first in the queue to snag that insanely hot husband of hers.
My own suggestion: Nick Cave. Also, the young Elvis who I think was one of the most beautiful people ever.
Just an aside (& I have to laugh). My 21-year-old daughter saw Wierd Al Yankovic in concert recently. She told me (privately, her husband & mine were both outside) that, “for an old guy, he’s so cute!”
Does this fit the OP? There are plenty of us who feel he’s a brilliant musician, and when I was younger, I thought he (when he was younger) was hot. What say you, dopers?
Love, Phil
You missed the perfect opportunity to post this. Maybe it’s my D’nD geekiness showing, but no musician has ever been hotter, ever.
I’d second Tori Amos and Regina Spektor, too, and add Natalie Merchant.
OK, Kate trumps Tori, I agree (and who wouldn’t watch THAT? 
)
And since I couldn’t find a still of Kate in her gold lame’ body suit, here’s a youtube of the video. Alas, it’s kinda blurry- too bad I can’t find the SNL one she did while a very lucky Paul Shaeffer played piano.
I always thought Melissa Auf der Maur made Hole a lot more bearable. I haven’t heard her solo album yet, but was surprised to see her on Conan one night backing up Todd Rundgren.
I think the Dave Matthews Band has some woderfully significant songs and I also find DM himself to be a hottie.
I’m trying to figure a way to work Darius Rucker in here.
Julie Andrews
Julian Lloyd Webber. He is better looking in person.
Acknowledging my het male, acoustic guitar, country/blues bias, I nominate:
Dolly Parton
Memphis Minnie (Lot of pics online, but I couldn’t find my favorite, which was featured in the Martin Scorsese blues miniseries. She was in her mid-40s, wearing a thigh-high skirt, and HOT).
K, I’m sorry, but I don’t see any proof that JLW is hot or talented. When come back bring Andrew.
