This is a good one!
I will assume you mean physically, and not musically.
For me, there are only 2. Olivia Newton-John and Paula Abdul.
Although I had a crush on Paula even before she was famous, she was a cheerleader in my High School, but she was a Senior and I was a Sophmore. But wow could she move.
And I still dig out my DVD of Xanadu every few months, just to hear Olivia sing and dance. Dang but she was fine.
Subject: Re: 80s Music Artists You Were Most Attracted To
I was "attracted" to Jon Bon Jovi, Rick Astley, and Bret Michaels oh yeah Axl Rose and George Michael . I'd also like to say that in the 80s i was between the ages of 2 and 12. That doesnt sound messed up now does it.
Subject: Re: 80s Music Artists You Were Most Attracted To
In terms of looks, Jon Bon Jovi.

Subject: Re: 80s Music Artists You Were Most Attracted To
Most definitely George Michael :) Of course, this was way before he had come out. I also had a thing for Boy George, Adam Ant and Simon LeBon. I'm not sure what that says about me but at that time it seems I was really into "girly" guys. :)
Not so anymore though. ;)

Subject: Re: 80s Music Artists You Were Most Attracted To
Robin Zander of Cheap Trick
Roger Taylor of Duran Duran (John Taylor was second)
Tommy Shaw of Styx :-[
Prince (in the 1999-Purple Rain days)
Adam Ant
There were probably more but these are the ones I can think of off the top of my head. Mainly though I was a Duranie and once I found them, the others fell by the wayside.

I guess I'd have to agree. And I would whether I knew he was gay or not. That doesn't change whether he's gorgeous! :)
I say this w/reservations, tho - I never cared much about entertainers, so never really went ga-ga in any way. I only paid attention to music. Mine was always more a matter-of-fact recognition, "yes, he is very good-looking". Never, ever had any posters of anyone - male or female, for that matter - anywhere. Just horses, dogs and cars for me. ;D
Subject: Re: 80s Music Artists You Were Most Attracted To
Hey JohnTaylorsHeart I like John Taylor too! I think he's like such a babe! :P
I also like Bret Michaels (I had a boyfriend who looked just like him lol!) from Poison, Bon Jovi, Madonna, Debbie Gibson, Motley Crue, Cyndi Lauper, the Go-Gos, the Bangles, Axl Rose from Guns N Roses, Whitesnake, and that's all I can think of right now!
Keep the 80s alive!
Later! :D

Subject: Re: 80s Music Artists You Were Most Attracted To
Roger Taylor of Duran Duran was the cute dark haired drummer. Much cuter than Roger Taylor drummer of Queen IMO.
Subject: Re: 80s Music Artists You Were Most Attracted To
Samantha Fox was, and still is, absolutely gorgeous. I also fancied another British model called Linda Lusardi. She had beautiful eyes . . . ::)

Don't be silly, I mean come on. What are the odds that one group would have that many people with the same name, none related, and not be some sort of publicity stunt?
And, Roger tended to blend into the backround alot and not draw attention to himself, he was easy to miss if you weren't looking (maybe that's why he's my favorite).

Joan Jett turned me on
the little chick from Bow Wow Wow, though only 15, was a hotty.
Wendy of the Plasmatics, thought she was tight in that mohawk and leather.
Dale Bozio squeeked too much
Blondi too gummy
I wanted to snuggle with Pearl Harbour
lessee, oh yeh, Terri from Berlin, very hot and snuggle-la-ble
and what's her name who sang "up on the Chain Gang," turned me on when she wore a dog collar and tight jeans, I howled like a wolf!!

Are you referring to Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders? She was gorgeous and had a sultry voice.

When I was 18 I thought Mitsou was pretty hot. Blonde, blue-eyed and voluptuous (none of that Kate Moss anorexic look for me :P )

Subject: Re: 80s Music Artists You Were Most Attracted To
In the early 80s when i was a littler tyke but starting to like girls, i had a thing for Pat Benatar. Probably cuz everyone else did. (And there were a couple of Solid Gold dancers who were hot as all get out, but alas not musicians)
In the mid 80s, due in no small part to the fact i was overseas, it turned to Samantha Fox.
Later in the 80s, Jody Watley really blew my mind with her voice and looks.
But as the 80s closed, i thought the end all was one Lita Ford video.....
Until Christina Amphlett came along with her ode to "self manipulation".
These last two truly push the decade limit, but so what? My Christina 'thing' still carries to this very day.

End Quote
He is hot. While we're on Cheap Trick, I find Rick Nielsen attractive, in a somewhat unconventional way. He cracks me up, and I don't think I've ever seen a picture of him when he wasn't making some sort of funny face.
I also think Joe Elliott from Def Leppard is pretty hot (more now than in the 80s, though. I didn't know who he was back then, and he has a better hair cut now.)

I was a young teenie bopper in the 80's and I thought Steve Perry from Journey was the hottest man going. I still love the man to this day :-*

Robert Hazard was the finest looking man ever on the planet (but only Philly/Jersey people would know him, he was huge in the area in the early '80's). And Steve Perry of Journey was a hottie too.
