Who is the coolest looking person in the history of rock and roll/popular music?

This thread is inspired by my stupid response to the I don't "get" Alabama thread.

So, who is it? I was going to originally name this thread "Who is the coolest looking guy ...", but I don't want to offend the one woman who posts here. Seriously, a RUSH concert gets 100 times more women than this forum, but whatever.

My vote goes to none other than Stan Lynch who is formerly the drummer of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. Stan looks cool, and may in fact look cooler than anyone else in the entire history of popular music. Exhibit A:



Feel free to disagree, and name someone who is even more cool looking than Stan, were such a thing possible.

 

Who is the coolest looking person in the history of rock and roll/popular music?

........... other than Elvis ????

 

Keith Richards circa 1969-1972.

 

Elvis. but Boy George looked really cool when Culture Club first began, before he became such a diva.

 

Popular music?

Duke Ellington.



Rock?

Kim Gordon.

 

Lenny Kravitz.

 

Not a fan, but I can't see how it can be anyone else but this guy. Even his mug shot looked like an album cover!

 

Robert Wyatt

 

Dennis Wilson

 

Robert Palmer always seemed to dress well.

 

Keith still had the coolest looks by the 1975, and 1978 tours.

 

all of popular music? well, y'know...

​

the man is literally an institution of timeless, effortless cool. men's style magazines are still copying Miles to this day.

 

Jimi Hendrix. Every picture I can recall, he always looks cool.

 

-Simon (bluej's son)

 

Early days Elvis Costello. And, a group and not an individual, the cover shot of Love Beach. Well, Costello, anyway.

 

Has to be Morrison..

.. or me.

 

We look so similar that I could say me or him and be right.

 

I'd say Dizzy Gillespie is right up there.

 

Jimmie Rodgers, the Blue Yodeler.

 

Elvis. 50s greasy elvis, March 1960 post army elvis, 68 comeback elvis, 69 elvis too.

 

Contenders should include Chrissy Hynde, Lita Ford, and the lead singer for the Lemonheads...Lando?

 

Elvis ... Nobody as cool looking then or now ....

 

can't believe i am responding to this (no slur on whomever started the thread, it is an interesting question) but looks do have something to do with music. listen to a good recent (if you can find one) live concert recording of yes and then watch and listen to the same one on you tube and most likely you will not like the sound near as much watching an overweight, dramatically aging chris & alan plodding as you did when listening and not seeing them. looks do taint your outlook on sound.

but my vote goes to annie clark of st. vincent. never have i seen a more cool and confident looking person with musical style and a interesting fashion sense as well. in concert she exudes originality and she steals your glace from the minute she steps on stage till you get sick of screaming for yet another encore. true she borrows from david byrne but everyone borrows from someone.
now excuse me while i get back to the new elle and vogue mags that just arrived.
