Who do you think were the hottest looking lead singers of the 1980s bands ?
Vince Neil- from Motley Crue
David Lee Roth-Van Halen
Simon LeBon-Duran Duran
Mike Tramp-White Lion
There all fat and bald these days, but they were really something 20 years ago.
As I’m not really into guys, my votes go to:
Debbie Harry (Blondie )
Wendy James (Transvision Vamp)
Debbie Harry!!!,
My debbie Harry story:
I work on oil rigs and there is generally only one television for the crew to use (all rigs have directtv), I almost never go into the tv room because there is normally a die hard, lethal weapon, ahnold type action movie on and that stuff is TORTURE to me.
About two years ago I catch a promo for this blondie reunion concert on free per view and it comes to pass that i get to sit down (alone!) and watch this show, i’m bouncing up and down, rubbing my hands together thinking “this is gonna be great” when a woman? walks out on the stage, it was not Debbie, this hosebeast had Debbie for breakfast!, the voice was pretty close but in an instant most of my fantasies of my youth were shattered!, it was horrible.

None of them were hot!
My answer (the correct one) is (was) Joey Ramone.
Jon Bon Jovi (then, obviously)
the guy from A-Ha!
the guy from the Cure (so sue me…I’m into dark-haired, slightly chunky men…makeup is optional)
Donnie Wahlberg (I’m so ashamed!)
Were Boyz 2 Men 80s? If so, the one with the cane.
Susanna Hoffs from the Bangles had a pretty hot way of shyly looking away from the camera in their videos. Oh, and ra-ra skirts really should be due for a revival…
Good lord people:
David Gahan of Depeche Mode.
Who ARE you guys?
Clawman, I think we’re still about five years out from an 80s clothing revival. My pegged-ankle pants, skinny leather ties, and new wave fedora are still in the closet waiting for it.
Terri Nunn of Berlin
Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart
The hottest…
Vince Neil-Motley Crue
Sebastian Bach-Skid Row
Mike Tramp- White Lion
David Lee Roth
I’m sure I will remember more later!
Terri Nunn, Susanna Hoffs, and, of course, Jane Weidlin.
Michael Jackson was pretty hot for awhile, but someone found a fire extinguisher.
Jon Bon Jovi
Sebastian Bach
Bret Michaels (a little girly, but cute)
Cutest non-lead singer? Blas Elias (mmmmMMMMMMMMmmmm)
ducks to avoid the rocks she knows are coming
The lead singer from Twisted Sister,DeeDee Snider.
And…
Gene Simmons from KISS,with all the makeup on
Ozzy Osbourne
IDBB
You know what’s sad about a boy coming of age during the 80s?
You get warped for life into thinking that being skinny, wearing spandex, and having long hair really turns on the babes.
For the rest of my life, the first, instinctual, gut reaction to a night out is “how can I look like David Lee Roth?”.
Joan Jett
in a pool hall sort of way.
Neil Tennant from the Pet Shop Boys
Chris Lowe from the Pet Shop Boys
Limahl from Kajagoogoo
David Gahan from Depeche Mode
Another vote for Terri Nunn…
We definitely ran in different circles, Barbarian. My instinctive gut reaction to a night out is “How can I look like the Pet Shop Boys?”
As they looked twenty years ago, anyway.
Sting, when he was still with the Police, and making cool reggae-influenced new wave music, and his ego - although not “in check” - was not as rampantly unchecked as it became during his solo career making pretentious jazz-lite records.
And I had a huge crush on the lead singer from “Big Country” when I was 13. Okay, he was a wannabe Simon Lebon, but I drooled whenever i saw him. Someone told me he committed suicide. Any one know if this is true?
Oh, and that reminds me – Michael Hutchinsen from INXS. He was a hottie.
