why would MIA not be a plausible candidate for this?

that girl from the Moonbabies and the one from Joy Zipper would make for a hot threesome.

Sex appeal is integral to pop music. If wanting to shag someone means you also like listening to their music, then that means you like listening to their music, end of story.

It also works the other way around. Julian Cope once said he wasn't interested in the Pixies because the lead singer was too unprepossessing.

― Fred J., Monday, 30 January 2006 17:41 (twenty years ago)

Nice face,shame about the music

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Monday, 30 January 2006 18:14 (twenty years ago)

my trap is i always convince myself someone's shaggable b/c i like their music.

Jenny Lewis.

shakira. pink. i only pray for deafness first.

― J Arthur Rank (Quin Tillian), Monday, 30 January 2006 21:30 (twenty years ago)

Wait, people like the Libertines?

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 30 January 2006 21:31 (twenty years ago)

js - i think girls like pete dougherty b/c of his completely muscleless looks...i can't really explain that (maybe later tho).

― Susan Douglas (Susan Douglas), Monday, 30 January 2006 21:34 (twenty years ago)

tatu. both at the same time.

I must be old. I no longer seem to think of musicians this way any more.

― james van der beek (dubplatestyle), Monday, 30 January 2006 22:08 (twenty years ago)

"Wait, people like the Libertines?"

Well, squinty British people at least. It can't just be NME staffers buying all his albums.

― js (honestengine), Monday, 30 January 2006 22:12 (twenty years ago)

Do people really do this? Looking through my CD collection, I can't find a single person in there I'd like to shag. Maybe one of these bands has a hot female drummer or something I don't know about.

Oh wait, I take it back. Melt-Banana. Actually, I think I really do this.

― Mickey (modestmickey), Monday, 30 January 2006 22:13 (twenty years ago)

Anything Michelle Mae-related.

― polyphonic (polyphonic), Monday, 30 January 2006 22:28 (twenty years ago)

Does it count if I've never actually heard them play but am fairly sure it's not worth the effort? Then Matt Fishbeck, based possibly entirely on one photo from popfest '97.

― Laurel (Laurel), Monday, 30 January 2006 22:35 (twenty years ago)

Suzanne Vega and Cyndi Lauper, maybe?

And definitely the chick who sings on the first couple Enigma albums. I have no idea what she looks like, but she sure sounds sexy!

― vartman (novaheat), Monday, 30 January 2006 23:11 (twenty years ago)

Matt Fishbeck? Holy Shit.

― senseiDancer (sexyDancer), Monday, 30 January 2006 23:16 (twenty years ago)

In 1997, mind you. How does he look these days?

― Laurel (Laurel), Monday, 30 January 2006 23:19 (twenty years ago)

typo?

― Vintage Latin (dog latin), Tuesday, 31 January 2006 01:33 (twenty years ago)

What? No Avril?

Oh, like you've never...(she's 22 dammit!)

― I'm Gumby (Zimmer026), Tuesday, 31 January 2006 02:53 (twenty years ago)

Eww. She's Canadian, dude. Have some standards.

― js (honestengine), Tuesday, 31 January 2006 03:11 (twenty years ago)

Shakira seconded. Would say tATu, but I don't believe I've actually heard an album of theirs, just remixes. The black-haired one is so cute! Wait, so is the redhead!

― naus (Robert T), Tuesday, 31 January 2006 03:41 (twenty years ago)

Shirley Manson

― scriblerus (mike lynch), Tuesday, 31 January 2006 05:57 (twenty years ago)

Typo with what?

― Mickey (modestmickey), Tuesday, 31 January 2006 05:59 (twenty years ago)

Shellac.

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 31 January 2006 06:12 (twenty years ago)

Suzanne Vega and Cyndi Lauper, maybe?

I wasnt that into Cyndi Lauper until I saw that bird shit in her mouth. If she can take that and keep on singing just imagine what she'd do in bed.

Also, re: Julian Cope's comments on the Pixies - Frank Black can work as a front man I feel because although he completely lacks sexiness in all forms he is entertaining in a sort of scary way. Besides, what does Julian Cope know!

― ________, Tuesday, 31 January 2006 06:48 (twenty years ago)

I dunno, maybe he really does do melt a banana.

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 31 January 2006 10:50 (twenty years ago)

natalie imbruglia -- just enough tasty but forgettable singles that i can pretend to take her seriously

― Mitya (mitya), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 15:11 (twenty years ago)

"this" refers to deep down knowing a band is crap but convincing yourself you like them because you want to shag them.

I like the lead singer of Melt-Banana.

it seemed really clear in my head...

― Mickey (modestmickey), Wednesday, 1 February 2006 16:58 (twenty years ago)

the Runaways
the Bangles
Liz Phair
Janet Jackson (ohh, nipple jewlery)
TLC (not the dead one though)
Gwen Stefani (obviously)
J-Lo (almost like her music)
the pussycat Dolls (all of them at once)
the 5,6,7,8s
the demolition doll rods (all of them at once)

― JB Young, Wednesday, 1 February 2006 17:23 (twenty years ago)

I think his hairline's receded too much for that now.
It's all hats and shadow games from here on out:

Haha. Poor guy -- unfortunately he also looks like he hasn't eaten since 1997.
