Women’s taste in men vary. [Sorry gentlemen, there doesn't seem to be a formula]. Some like guys with rock hard abs and huge muscles. Others, myself included, prefer skinny guys with slender hips and no muscles to speak of. Some like facial hair, other want their guys clean cut.
But I think most women can agree that British accents are sexy, and so are rock stars
And British rock stars? The sexiest of them all.
From post-punk to Britpop to the British Invasion to punk rock- here’s my list of the ten hottest British rock stars around.
[and if you'd like a discussion of their music as opposed to their looks, go to my Top 10 Britpop Bands article]
10. Gaz Coombes [Supergrass]

Gaz should be crowned king of facial hair. His sideburns are rivaled only by General Burnside himself [although, Burnside only managed to look creepy]. Show me a picture of someone with better sideburns and I’ll, well, show you more pictures of Gaz. Because while he may be a bit strange looking- one always wins points for being able to grow an obnoxiously amazing pair of sideburns.
9. David Bowie

David Bowie exudes cool with his every step. Whether Ziggy Stardust, or the Thin White Duke, his utter coolness is nearly tangible. Who else on the planet could pull of those Ziggy Stardust outfits, or make a painted on lighting bolt look cool. No wonder he’s married to a supermodel!
8. George Harrison [the Beatles]
George Harrison
How can any list about British rockers neglect mentioning the Beatles? Everyone has their own Beatles preference, but mine has always been George. He’s got fantastic cheekbones, brilliant eyebrows, he rocks the dapper suit and tie look- and he can make girls scream and cry just at the sight of him.
7. Johnny Rotten [Sex Pistols]

And here’s one for the Anarchists and the punks. Johnny Rotten- the man who screeches “Anarchy for the UK!” is actually a good looking fellow. He’s got the spiky red hair, sloppily tied tie and the devil-may-care attitude. This disaffected punk look is quite becoming, because every girl loves a bad boy.
6. Ian McCulloch [Echo and the Bunnymen]

Now how can you not love a man with hair like that? The brooding post-punk aura he gives off is only a plus. And when he’s standing on stage wearing his trademark dark sunglasses and lighting up a cigarette while a fog machine cranks up behind him- well, you’ll fall in love. [and he has Lips Like Sugar am i right?]
5. Morrissey [the Smiths]
Morrissey
The Mozzer may be a bit of a diva and he may say outrageous things, but the man is very attractive. He prances around with that lovely head of hair, he wears an over the top hearing aid as a fashion statement and he often has his shirt off or flowers in his back pocket [often both]. While he may refuse to make music videos, roll his eyes on Top of the Pops and chastise you for eating meat- you’ll swoon when he sings “If a double decker bus crashes into us/to die by your side is such a heavenly way to die”

Your taste in men is impeccable and the bonus picture is too much. It is so much better when one enjoys one’s work…
