Kerrang! 50 Sexiest People in Rock

Sort by: Showing 46 items
Rating: List Type:
Average listal rating (1257 ratings) 6.8 IMDB Rating 0
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:
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).

Gerard Way



What? You must be joking. He resembles a tubby-faced middle-aged mother if you squint.

Average listal rating (824 ratings) 6.9 IMDB Rating 0
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 (177 ratings) 6.3 IMDB Rating 0
HIM
Ville Valo



I have no real opinion on this one. Nothing really stands out for me.
tartan_skirt's rating:
Average listal rating (56 ratings) 5.8 IMDB Rating 0
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 (1248 ratings) 7.6 IMDB Rating 0
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 (67 ratings) 5.3 IMDB Rating 0
Dan Hawkins



No thank you.
tartan_skirt's rating:
Marta



Now thats more like it. I'd put her higher on the list than Amy Lee and Brody for sure.
Average listal rating (314 ratings) 6.9 IMDB Rating 0
Tarja Turunen



A deserving entry on the list in my opinion.
tartan_skirt's rating:
Average listal rating (65 ratings) 6.5 IMDB Rating 0
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:
Melissa Auf Der Maur



Approved. But only my second favourite redhead on the list. ;)
Average listal rating (164 ratings) 7.5 IMDB Rating 0
Cristina Scabbia



The surnames a little offputting... but a definite yes.
tartan_skirt's rating:
Average listal rating (300 ratings) 6.4 IMDB Rating 0
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 (412 ratings) 6 IMDB Rating 0
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 (990 ratings) 7.2 IMDB Rating 0
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:
Anthony Kiedis



Legend, but not too hot, but alright I suppose. Maybe a while back.
tartan_skirt's rating:
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 (311 ratings) 6.6 IMDB Rating 0
Brandon Boyd



Not bad, but a bit on the average side.
tartan_skirt's rating:
Average listal rating (422 ratings) 7 IMDB Rating 0
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 (784 ratings) 7.5 IMDB Rating 0
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:
Courtney Love



Time has not done this one well... But, again, back in the day, maybe.
tartan_skirt's rating:
Average listal rating (5 ratings) 7.8 IMDB Rating 0
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.
Dani Filth



Ehh.... Maybe.
tartan_skirt's rating:
Average listal rating (103 ratings) 6.3 IMDB Rating 0
Bert McCracken



Again, wouldn't call him sexy.
Average listal rating (52 ratings) 6.5 IMDB Rating 0
Brett Anderson



46. Allison Robertson



Both not bad choices. Hard to find singular images though.
tartan_skirt's rating:
Average listal rating (819 ratings) 7.8 IMDB Rating 0
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 (85 ratings) 6.6 IMDB Rating 0
Angela Gossow



Definately one of the best looking women in metal.
tartan_skirt's rating:
Average listal rating (45 ratings) 6 IMDB Rating 0
Ash
Charlotte Hatherley



Good choice.
tartan_skirt's rating:
Average listal rating (1 ratings) 6 IMDB Rating 0
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.)
tartan_skirt's rating:
Average listal rating (64 ratings) 5.5 IMDB Rating 0
Lauri Ylonen



Meh, so-so.
Benji Madden



47. Joel Madden



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



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



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



Urgh. Nah.
tartan_skirt's rating:
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 (470 ratings) 7.4 IMDB Rating 0
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 (1111 ratings) 7.5 IMDB Rating 0
James Hetfield



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



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

44. Jocoby Shaddix

tartan_skirt's rating:
Average listal rating (235 ratings) 6.8 IMDB Rating 0
45. Chris Cornell



Alright.
tartan_skirt's rating:
48. Julliette Lewis



49. Kelly Jones

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.
