David Byrne (1952-) Talking Heads - lead vocals and guitar
Songs: "The Book I Read," "Heaven"
Propaganda: "Autism"
Roger Taylor (1949-) Queen - drums
Songs: "I'm in Love With My Car," "More of That Jazz"
Propaganda: "Unearthly child, beautiful youth, rocker with a (usually) impeccable sense of style, hot dad, silver fox, sexy santa: this man has been sizzling hot for decades. Even his fellow rock stars are mesmerised by how hot he is, especially when dragged up in videos. Super hot."
"His falsetto at the start of 'In the Lap of the Gods.' The messy blond hair. His chemistry with Freddie Mercury."
Sad that John Deacon has been knocked out of the @billboard-hotties-tourney - but on the other hand this means that he gets to go and party with his best friend Roger Taylor in the shadow realm, which let’s be honest is what he wanted to do all along
i dont HATE HATE the beatles like. they have some fine songs and its been well established that george is the only member i actually like but i rarely go out of my way to listen to them. though when i was munted on saturday while my guitar gently weeps came on shuffle and i could feel myself turning into a beautiful glass jar of raspberry jam. i also believe in mclennon and dylarrison bc thats not even beatles related to me thats just facts. anyway im irritated by everyone who isnt my my tumblr circle discussing the beatles bc they dont know or understand. and also im just way too monkeepilled like peter tork didnt pop pussy while playing bass just so paul could win that billboard hottie tourney yes im still bitter

Paul McCartney (1942-) The Beatles - bass guitar and vocals; Wings - bass guitar and vocals; solo
Songs: "Hey Jude," "Jet"
Defeated Opponents: Peter Tork, Micky Dolenz, Dave Davies
Propaganda: "Just look at Beatles era Paul and tell me you're not swooning. Actually swooning. I hope you have a fainting couch nearby."
"He was referred to as the pretty beatle for a reason"
"he's going to get obliterated immediately because Tumblr hates Beatles fans, and they're right to. with that said. *with that said.* Paul IS worth the hype, when you get past all the big loud treatises white men like to write about him. when you dig back to the actual music, the actual vids, the actual guy. he was beautiful, he was rare, but he was also real. watching him in get back just solidified him to me as the Most Normal Guy Ever. he loved being in a band and it shows for every second of the 60s."
Brian May (1947-) Queen - guitar
Songs: "White Queen (As It Began,)" "The Prophet's Song"
Defeated Opponents: Ronnie Lane, John Coltrane, Roger Hodgson
Propaganda: "He's very tall, his hair is the stuff of legends, his brain is the size of planets, he has a doctorate in astronomy, he built the guitar he still plays to this day (like a god) as a teenager. His songwriting and musical abilities have made him a legend in his own right and he also plays with this little group called Queen. Everyone who's ever met him unanimously say that he's the nicest, most decent person there ever was. Also, he's ridiculously beautiful in every decade he's been on this earth. Need I say more?"
"While Freddie is hot and Roger is pretty, Brian stands out as sort of ethereally beautiful. He floats across the stage in Zandra Rhodes while delivering heavy riffs, then switches to self-harmonizing in as light and fae a manner as you could wish."
"An Angel singing with his beautiful voice and his very own special guitar. On the best Rock tracks ever! His face like a greek god surrounded by heavenly curls, prancing skillfully on the stage with his long legs in platform shoes."
