Artist List

Let me start off by saying that I love my wife. She’s the light of my life and the most beautiful woman I have ever laid eyes on. I’m pretty sure she has similar feelings towards me. Even so, we’re not beyond a good fantasy once in a while. In that spirit we each compiled a list of rock stars that the other would be allowed to sleep with should the opportunity ever arise. Then, we compared lists and commented on the candidates.

I’m no slouch, but the chances of any of the ladies on my list wanting a roll in the hay with yours truly is near zero. But I can dream, can’t I? My wife has better odds. I’ll keep her close.

HER LIST

Eddie Vedder

She Said: I was mad for him during my grunge days in high school and college and I still find him sexy as hell. And that voice! It still give me chills.

He Said: I can see the appeal, especially for the great unwashed of the mid-1990s grunge era. He looks a little freaky when he sings but maybe that possessed look turns women on.

Stuart Staples (of Tindersticks)

She Said: Here’s another vocalist whose voice is seductive and he’s got killer style in spades. Definitely sex on satin sheets in a five star hotel in Paris.

He Said: He’s not the best looking man, in my opinion, but he does possess a European sophistication and a deep voice that I can see as being sexy to the ladies. I approve.

Justin Timberlake

She Said: Justin oozes sexuality when he dances and sings. Along with his looks he’s a triple threat.

He Said: He’s still so boyish, and not in an appealing way. Also, he tries way too hard to be suave. It doesn’t come across as natural. He’s got nothing on my dance moves, either. I bet he’s horrible in bed too.

Nick Cave

She Said: This is primal sexuality based purely on his music, lyrics, brilliant performance style and animal magnetism and has nothing to do with the creepy mustache.

He Said: This is why I love you. The fact that you’d want to have sex with Nick Cave is so cool! He’s so mesmerizing as a performer that I’d probably have sex with him too. And quite the contrary, that mustache kicks ass! But why won’t you let me grow one?

John Legend

She Said: So smooth! He slays me with his looks and silky voice.

He Said: I like his voice too but I find him to be a little effeminate. Quite the opposite end of the spectrum from Nick Cave.

Dean Wareham (of Galaxie 500, Luna; Dean & Britta)

She Said: He’s got that sexy older man vibe nailed and his music can be sensual too.

He Said: Considering his wife (Britta Phillips) is on my list, I’d have to wholeheartedly condone this choice.

Chris Isaak

She Said: Just look at that picture! Everything about this guy screams sexiness, from his 1950’s Elvis-esque looks to his sequin suits and velvety croon.

He Said: I can understand this pick. Chris Isaak does seem to make the ladies swoon. While you’re off with him, I’ll give his “Wicked Game” video co-star Helena Christensen a call.

Howe Gelb (of Giant Sand)

She Said: I’ve had the pleasure of spending some time with Howe Gelb (before he was added to my list) and I found him to be oddly charming. He has that older man sexiness as well. Next time!

He Said: No wonder you were flush that night!

Gavin Rossdale

She Said: Not much to say here except that Gavin is soooooo fine! Another crush from my grunge days that still stands up today.

He Said: His music blows, but since his wife (Gwen Stefani) is on my list, you have my blessing.

Ryan Adams

She Said: The ultimate indie rock fantasy.

He Said: Don’t you think he kinda looks like Rick Moranis? I dig his music but he comes across as a poseur.
