Billie Joe Armstrong

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

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).

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.

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

Kurt Cobain

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Shirley Manson

Oh. Heavens. Yes. This would be my personal number one on this list. Shirley Manson is a goddess.

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.

Kate Jane Garside

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

Slash

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

Should probably be high on the list, at least better than some of the ones listed higher than him.

Pandora, Kerrang!'s mascot and cartoon character, not the band.


A cartoon character, but a fun choice nonetheless.

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.)

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

Kelly Osbourne

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

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.

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.
