Top 10 Sexy Rockers of 2009 | Sexiest Rockers of 2009

Most rock bands pride themselves on their music and their look. We all hear their music on the radio...now let's rate their looks. 2009 has seen many many new acts, and many comebacks. Not only are these rockers/bands/frontmen/frontwomen sexy, but they are truly among the most talented of our generation. 2009 has seen the growth of the rock music industry, bringing indie acts to the top of our hit lists. These artists have broken through barriers that have never been shot down and have proven and will continue to prove that they are forces to be reckoned with. If their voices do not make you smile and/or quiver, there is a serious problem and you should get your ears checked, STAT.

Top 500 Musical Groups/Artists of Alltime

Top 500 Rock Bands isn't 100% accurate as this includes solo artists, and though it does not include jazz or blues it does include soul, R&B, Americana, reggae, and classic country (yes, that is somewhat arbitrary, but for whatever reason i listen to blues and jazz differently than the rest, and would be too hard to compare Miles or Ornette or Hooker to, say, Aerosmith). Criteria for my greatest bands of all time list is a combination of recorded albums, live shows I've seen, live recordings I've heard, radio songs, and even overall image/album covers/general coolness or uniqueness. I guess that was a way of trying to explain that the ranking is just a gut feeling. But it's probably about 50% based on "live chops", hence the lower ranking of the Beatles, who quit playing live before the most creative parts of their career. I am very into live shows and live recordings. Obviously, this list will change over time. I'm adding commentary to items whenever i get a spare minute or something interesting comes to mind about a band, probably 10-20 entries a month.

My Top 100 Musical Artists

I was inspired by, and took most of my entries from, Clark Benson's list of 500, but he didn't have enough female artists for my tastes, nor did he have them rated highly enough. He excluded Blues and Jazz (except he has some artists who could be classified as Blues or Jazz on his list), so I did, too. However, I clearly like hip hop more than he does, so I had to add more of that, too. I haven't ranked the artists, and the list is in very rough order, because I'm new at this whole thing.

The lineup for the Coachella 2010 music festival is out, so I begin my annual ritual of ranking of the artists - which means spending some quality time in auditory research. I'm happy to say that once again, there's a ton of bands I'm interested in. Bravo Goldenvoice.
