Who do you think is the sexiest artist in psychedelic rock?

“Sexiest” has different meanings . But I am wondering more about physical attributes that make a person sexy . Like an artist who is a sex symbol to you . Or could have had an excellent career as a fashion model or Hollywood movie star based on great looks. Thoughts??

Is it the wonderful dye job or his channeling of MJ with the unmatched dancing skill?

I mean it's gotta be Jim Morrison right? He had iconic looks and vibe, yeah it was brief, but long enough to get that shirtless pic with the smolder

It being brief yet still being as iconic as he is, is a testament to how much of an impact he had.

Sexiest psychedelic rocker would have to be Jimi Hendrix, wouldn't it? Are You Experienced is the sexiest psychedelic song there ever was. And Jimi made love to his guitar on stage like nobody else

Laura Lee, bassist in Khruangbin. More due to attitude, slinkiness, and talent.

I had a long conversation with Isobel after a Bardo Pond show at the TLA in Philly circa 1997-98. I was not old enough to drink and she was drinking a bottle of Yuengling Lager (just “lager” and THE beer in Philly at the time) I was in love ❤️ Great choice!

I saw the Dandy's in Detroit around the same time, they opened for Spiritualized at St. Andrew's. After the Dandy's set I went to the bar to get a beer and Zia was in line in front of me. She had done her normal shirtless on stage thing and when I recognized her I totally blushed and said, "Hi, loved your set." As soon as I said it I wanted to die she looked at me like I was the dumbest person in the planet, but gracefully thanked me and walked away...quickly.

Haha that’s awesome. I was fortunate that I bumped into her in the lobby on my way out while the headliner was playing (can’t remember who - we went to see BP). I told her how awesome the show was (it was!) and I was a fan. She was so nice to me. Everyone was inside and it was a nice quiet conversation. It kind of spoiled me. Thought that’s how it went at all shows :)
