Emmylou Harris circa 1973
Susanna Hoffs circa 1984
Shania Twain circa 1993
Jenny Lewis circa 2005

I meant just by their looks. These women are definitely good looking. But, just being good looking doesn't mean you are sexy.

Damn, forgot about Shania - she was definitely smokin' hot back in the day.

Yup, I wouldn't have kicked her out of my bed for eating Triscuit crackers, that's for sure.

Don't forget the Corrs sisters and that new hottie singer,Colbie Caillat

sorry, i didn't mean to be calling people sexist or this topic immoral or anything like that. i know you respect these women. i just wonder whether this is really necessary. i mean, to me, they're just musicians and really, that's all i ever want to think of them as.

Oh, what the hell: Debbie Harry, Beyoncé, Liz Phair, Jane Wiedlin, Cindy Wilson (B-52’s), Justine Frischmann, Susanna Hoffs, Natalie Merchant, Maria McKee (Lone Justice), Lulu, Sheila E., Faith Hill, Kelis, Dusty Springfield. And I think Björk’s cute as a button.

Moonbeam, I’m with you on Polly Harvey. Not Madonna—I have never found her attractive.

Moeboid’s point is fair—of course it’s a little bit sexist and unnecessary to do this. But if I started a thread for best album covers (not much more relevant to music than this subject), nobody would say boo. Anyway, how much of what we talk about on this forum is “necessary,” anyway?

All cats are grey when heard through stereo speakers.

Moeboid – further to schleuse’s comment (and since I started this thread), I just want to add that a topic like this shouldn’t be taken too seriously. Of course this isn’t necessary, but it’s fun. And if you want to sit back and play the noble card while everyone else enjoys a laugh or two, that’s your prerogative. As guys, we’ve all turned on the MTV from time to time and said “wow, she’s hot”, and I see no harm in bringing those private celebrations of the female form into a public light.

A couple more: Aimee Mann, Shawn Colvin.

PJ Harvey is red hot I guess.
Bjork is very charming, doll-like.
In the past : LaVern Baker, Michelle Philips of the Mama's and Papa's, Jane Birkin, the young Nico, Kate Pierson
Young Tina Turner was very hot
The outmost of the hot woman is Pam Grier, she was not a musician has strong links to music.
But none of them compare to the woman on Rain Dogs' cover

Young Tina was hot, but that's all.
I didn't like her comeback, not what she did to her husbands' image (whatever he did to her)

Shawn Colvin…. interesting. And Jane Wiedlin has received a few mentions so far (she doesn’t do anything for me personally, but it’s funny how an electric guitar can add a certain something to an otherwise unattractive female rocker, eg. Courtney Love, Joan Jett).

Midaso – Colbie Caillat is cute in interviews (and borderline hot when performing), but her album cover is not flattering at all.

nicolas, based on your comments, I went and found a picture of Lavern Baker. Good call.

(I had never known what she looked like; her voice had always put me in mind of Big Mama Thornton...)

As long as we're going that far back, leave us not forget Billie Holiday.

Ooooh, very good call on Ms. Baker.

I noticed that Greg tried to sneak Britney in (without any qualifiers.) I'm assuming this is pre-train wreck Britney you're talking about?

Yeah, my mention of LaVern Baker was based especially on that picture.
Nothing to do (physically speaking) with Big Mama Thornton , the sexiest woman on earth..

my (female) co-worker just suggested Kim Wilde, which is a great idea

Katharine McPhee
Marilyn Monroe
Christina Aguilera
Jane Birkin
Cheryl Ladd
Iris Chacon
Samantha Jade
Thalia

There was a previous post about the same subject. I will recall to Tim’s #1: ex-Belle and Sebastian Isobel Campbell. I would add Neko Case and join other posters with Michelle Phillips, Sade, Kylie Minogue, Nico and… Björk. Yes I’m glad to see some others voting for Björk (I was thinking that I was some kind of pervert when I remember myself quite excited after seeing “Pagan Poetry” video).

Some women that are very good looking and also make good music :
Isobel Campbell
Debbie Harry
Nina Persson (The Cardigans)
Alison Goldfrapp
Candie Payne
Rose,Gweeno and Beckie (The Pipettes)
Ali Howard (Lucky Soul)
Aristazabal Hawkes (Guillemots)
Chan Marshall (Cat Power)
Emily Haines (Broken Social Scene)
Sharin Foo (The Raveonettes)

Don’t know why the link didn’t work

Netjade, just for mentioning my ultimate 60s crush, Mary Weiss, I will also include you in my top hottest women as well.

Dumbangel is into the older ladies.

Btw my personal ultimate female 60's crush was Fran Jeffries in The Pink Panther. Since I was a really young kid when I first saw the movie and since we both were brunettes I always hoped to become like her... well...

Who soon went on to play Talkatoo Cockatoo on Zoobilee Zoo. Remember that show?



P.S. Not really

netjade, that Pink Panther video is awesome !
Just watching Peter Sellers in the back of the picture makes me want to see the movie again
That man just makes me laugh
And the actress is, indeed, charming

What about the girls out of Hanson? Fair enough, the oldest one was a bit androgynous, but still...

I think the Nelson twins were way hotter.

Let's face it - female athletes are just sooo much hotter(I was going to post a picture here of a certain Russian tennis player but don't know how). But anyway,since she has dabbled in music a bit,the sexiest woman in music is unquestionably Scarlett Johansson...

1) Isobel Campbell
2) Michelle Phillips
3) Aimee Mann
3) Cat Power
5) Nancy Sinatra
6) Alison Goldfrapp
7) Miki (from Lush)
8) Cherry Curry (past her 20s of course)
9) Tracy Tracy (the Primitives)
10) Nico

Here's one from the 1960's:



More: Spectropop.

Nice one, Paul. If you start on the left and go right, they get gradually hotter.
