Kerrang! 50 Sexiest People in Rock

Sort by: Showing 46 items
Average listal rating (873 ratings) 6.5  
1. Green Day
Billie Joe Armstrong



No way should he be #1. Especially not after the look change of the band. Sexy? No. Just, no.
tartan_skirt's rating:

Average listal rating (51 ratings) 5.9  
2. The Distillers
Brody Dalle



She has a look, but its not always what I'd call sexy. And with a voice like the lung of a 50-year smoker put through a chesse-grater (not that that doesn't go with her punk image/style), I'd drop her down the list quite a bit... But it does depend what image you see of her (like above).

Average listal rating (411 ratings) 6.2  
3. My Chemical Romance
Gerard Way



What? You must be joking. He resembles a tubby-faced middle-aged mother if you squint.
tartan_skirt's rating:

Average listal rating (640 ratings) 6.7  
4. Evanescence
Amy Lee



I can't lie, she's good looking and has a good voice. But probably not this high on my list, and a general dislike for the band puts me off.
tartan_skirt's rating:

Average listal rating (160 ratings) 6.1  
5. HIM
Ville Valo



I have no real opinion on this one. Nothing really stands out for me.
tartan_skirt's rating:

Average listal rating (53 ratings) 5.9  
6. Lostprophets
Ian Watkins



No. Goddamn emos... I tend to want to punch people sporting that kind of haircut rather than jump on them.
tartan_skirt's rating:

Average listal rating (924 ratings) 7.6  
7. Nirvana
Kurt Cobain



Ahhh, a legend. But sexy? Sure, why not. Here's where you learn about proper melancholia, kids.
tartan_skirt's rating:

Average listal rating (61 ratings) 5.1  
8. The Darkness
Dan Hawkins



No thank you.
tartan_skirt's rating:

Average listal rating (15 ratings) 7.1  
9. Bleeding Through
Marta



Now thats more like it. I'd put her higher on the list than Amy Lee and Brody for sure.

Average listal rating (238 ratings) 6.8  
10. Nightwish
Tarja Turunen



A deserving entry on the list in my opinion.
tartan_skirt's rating:

Average listal rating (46 ratings) 6.3  
11. Machine Head
Robb Flynn



Not sure about this one. Personally I think its just an entry to keep the metal fans happy, but he's not too bad.
tartan_skirt's rating:

Average listal rating (35 ratings) 7.1  
12. Melissa Auf Der Maur
Melissa Auf Der Maur



Approved. But only my second favourite redhead on the list. ;)

Average listal rating (105 ratings) 6.8  
13. Lacuna Coil
Cristina Scabbia



The surnames a little offputting... but a definite yes.
tartan_skirt's rating:

Average listal rating (216 ratings) 6.2  
14. Slipknot
Joey Jordison



I hope my picture illustrates the "do not want" aspects of my opinion. He jsut looks like a moody teen/dog. (Maybe its the lack of eyebrows.)

42. Corey Taylor



What? This one isn't much better than his bandmate... There are reasons these guys wear masks, you know.
tartan_skirt's rating:

Average listal rating (347 ratings) 5.9  
15. Blink-182
Tom Delonge



Personally I'd have to say no. Within the band Mark Hoppus looks better in my opinion, and outwith the band there are plenty of better male candidates.
tartan_skirt's rating:

Average listal rating (536 ratings) 6.7  
16. Gwen Stefani
Gwen Stefani



Yes, but back in the day. Not so much now, but she does have a more gamorous look than in the past few years.
tartan_skirt's rating:

Average listal rating (775 ratings) 7.2  
17. Red Hot Chili Peppers
Anthony Kiedis



Legend, but not too hot, but alright I suppose. Maybe a while back.
tartan_skirt's rating:

Average listal rating (926 ratings) 5.8  
18. Avril Lavigne
Avril Lavigne



NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO way in hell. I have no idea how this ranked higher than Shirley Manson. *rages* Smiles in a grimace and generally not hot.
tartan_skirt's rating:

Average listal rating (272 ratings) 6.6  
19. Incubus
Brandon Boyd



Not bad, but a bit on the average side.
tartan_skirt's rating:

Average listal rating (346 ratings) 6.9  
20. Garbage
Shirley Manson



Oh. Heavens. Yes. This would be my personal number one on this list. Shirley Manson is a goddess.
tartan_skirt's rating:

Average listal rating (581 ratings) 7.2  
21. Foo Fighters
Dave Grohl



When he was younger I think he was a worthy member of the list, but as with many other rockers, I don't think time has been on his side.
tartan_skirt's rating:

Average listal rating (216 ratings) 4.7  
22. Courtney Love
Courtney Love



Time has not done this one well... But, again, back in the day, maybe.
tartan_skirt's rating:

Average listal rating (3 ratings) 7.3  
23. Queenadreena
Kate Jane Garside



Not bad looking, but not someone I consider very sexy. May just be a stage thing...

Average listal rating (52 ratings) 6.2  
24. Velvet Revolver
Slash



Blerg. Slash is not sexy. He is a good guitarist and stage presence, but in no way do I find him sexy.

Average listal rating (87 ratings) 6.1  
25. Cradle of Filth
Dani Filth



Ehh.... Maybe.
tartan_skirt's rating:

Average listal rating (89 ratings) 6.1  
26. The Used
Bert McCracken



Again, wouldn't call him sexy.

Average listal rating (43 ratings) 5.7  
27. The Donnas
Brett Anderson



46. Allison Robertson



Both not bad choices. Hard to find singular images though.
tartan_skirt's rating:

Average listal rating (636 ratings) 7.8  
28. Muse
Matt Bellamy



Should probably be high on the list, at least better than some of the ones listed higher than him.
tartan_skirt's rating:

Average listal rating (62 ratings) 6.7  
29. Arch Enemy
Angela Gossow



Definately one of the best looking women in metal.
tartan_skirt's rating:

Average listal rating (44 ratings) 5.9  
30. Ash
Charlotte Hatherley



Good choice.
tartan_skirt's rating:

Average listal rating (1 ratings) 6  
31. Pandora
Pandora, Kerrang!'s mascot and cartoon character, not the band.




A cartoon character, but a fun choice nonetheless.

Average listal rating (687 ratings) 5.7  
32. Marilyn Manson
Marilyn Manson



When you hear the word "sexy", do you even come close to thinking of Marilyn Manson? No. (Well, there is his ex, but not himself.)
tartan_skirt's rating:

Average listal rating (58 ratings) 5.5  
33. The Rasmus
Lauri Ylonen



Meh, so-so.

Average listal rating (283 ratings) 5.3  
34. Good Charlotte
Benji Madden



47. Joel Madden



They're frickin' twins! They don't look that different! Anyway, meh, nope.
tartan_skirt's rating:

Average listal rating (538 ratings) 7.1  
35. The White Stripes
Meg White



Not bad, quite a good, yet interesting, choice.
tartan_skirt's rating:

Average listal rating (201 ratings) 6.9  
36. Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Karen O



I would not consider Karen O sexy, but each to their own...

Josh Homme



Urgh. Nah.
tartan_skirt's rating:

Average listal rating (191 ratings) 4.2  
38. Kelly Osbourne
Kelly Osbourne



No. I would not consider her, but thats probably because every time she opens her mouth she sounds like a plonker.
tartan_skirt's rating:

Average listal rating (395 ratings) 7.3  
39. Placebo
Brian Molko



Not conventionally sexy, but an ok choice. Retrospectively, I want to know why he's not further up the list. Nowadays the scrawny look is in, and though I don't usually like the trendy kind of thing, I do like his androgynous style.
tartan_skirt's rating:

Average listal rating (735 ratings) 7.2  
40. Metallica
James Hetfield



Err, maybe an older choice.
tartan_skirt's rating:

Average listal rating (1 ratings) 6  
41. Million Dead
43. Julia Ruzicka



Not sexy. At this point I think they were trying to shake out any female musicians that they could think of.


Average listal rating (139 ratings) 6.1  
42. Papa Roach
44. Jocoby Shaddix

tartan_skirt's rating:

Average listal rating (180 ratings) 6.6  
43. Audioslave
45. Chris Cornell



Alright.
tartan_skirt's rating:

48. Julliette Lewis




Average listal rating (67 ratings) 6.3  
45. Stereophonics
49. Kelly Jones


50. Matt Tuck




From Arpril 2005, this is who Kerrang! magazine called the 50 Sexiest People in Rock. Personally I have a lot to argue against, but there are some on there I do agree with, and some I think should have ranked higher. *cough*Shirley Manson*cough*

I've added my personal notes throughout because some things need to be said.

Couple of notes:

*Number 41. Valeria - missing because she's not a musician, but a model who appears at Kerrang! events and such.

*Some bands occur twice, and the list is numbered when this causes a problem.

Conclusions drawn:

Appeal to the masses is placed under too much importance. Some of these people should never be considered sexy. As the list neared the end it looks like they were just clutching at straws, especially with females. Ah well, happens with most popular music publications I suppose.

Loving the image comments.
Joel Madden needs a new image however!
Posted: 4 years ago at Jun 10 10:47
Chris Cornell, Greenday and Ville are so hot...yet I would've added Pete Wentz from FOB and Jared Leto from 30STM too...
Posted: 3 years, 9 months ago at Sep 23 14:00
Im actually offended that Matt bellamy isnt in the top 3 and that Alex kapranos (franz ferdinand) isnt on there at all!

=(

This Kerrang list is very crappy indeed...
but you are getting my vote, for the comments ;)
"I tend to want to punch people sporting that kind of haircut rather than jump on them" agreed!
And Natália is completely right! That makes no sense at all.. I don't really find him any bit handsome nowadays, but man he definitely was sexy ("back in the day")
I'm glad to see Chris Cornell there :)

but top 5 isn't bad though but still =3
Posted: 3 years ago at Jun 14 17:19
how can SCOTT WEILAND be omitted :) for Christ' sake, his sexiness is so obvious
Posted: 2 years, 11 months ago at Jun 26 13:34
among 50, i agree with 11. and for christ's sake, gerard way must have payed to kerrang to enter in this list.
Posted: 2 years, 9 months ago at Sep 2 8:54

Posted: 2 years, 9 months ago at Sep 17 13:47
Simone Simons clearly is number 1, noone else stands a chance
Posted: 2 years, 6 months ago at Nov 25 12:03
