Your Musical Crush

[Jimorian]

I keep getting smitten by various artists, and this goes beyond just liking their music. I'm sure I'm not alone in this, however. :smallwink:

So who is your biggest current musical crush, and does it happen a lot, or just for a select few?

Right now, my new find/crush is Alison Sudol of A Fine Frenzy, and a good example of why:

You Picked Me -- A Fine Frenzy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1BaeC5fJxo)

Previous Crushes:
Karen Peris of The Innocence Mission
Harriet Wheeler of The Sundays
Margot Timmins of Cowboy Junkies
Annette Streen of Venus Hum
Nina Persson of The Cardigans
Shirley Manson of Garbage
Jem
Siobhan Maher of River City People
KT Tunstall
Kasey Chambers
Bjork (from way back when she was still in The Sugarcubes)
Wendy MaHarry

:smalleek: Yikes, I got it bad.

[Kraggi]

Jim Morrison, Roger Daltry, and David Gilmour.

Becuase they were damn HOT, and DAMN talented.

[Seraph]

Alizee. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ceSxEjwXHcM)

you may not know her. she's also known as the reason why France is Awesome.

[valadil]

The only musical crush I've ever had is Nightwish's former singer, Tarja Turunen (http://www.rock-sound.net/user_gallery/1126027221tarja.JPG) from back when I first got into the band.

[Dihan]

Hmmm... Musical crush? I love Sharon den Adel's (Within Temptation) voice. Does that count?

[Amotis]

Oh mans I got it bad too!

Alan (vocal/guitar) from Low (http://youtube.com/watch?v=3GppbSt1H2o)

Bilinda from MBV (http://youtube.com/watch?v=ASF30_WXL9E)

Sufjan Stevens (http://youtube.com/watch?v=uceNZtKZAnc)

Zach from Beirut (http://youtube.com/watch?v=uYwmDJigB1o)

Kevin from of Montreal (http://youtube.com/watch?v=gWIwe4Bu86A)

And not so much crushs but a OMG DO WANT! David Bowie (http://youtube.com/watch?v=YYjBQKIOb-w) and Leonard Cohen (http://youtube.com/watch?v=_drEFOaPaK8)

[Glawackus]

Heather Findlay from Mostly Autumn. I'm too tired to find a video right now. :smalltongue:

[Ziggy's_Roady]

Uhh...

Emilie Autumn (ZOMG, Gothic hottie!!)
David Bowie (What? He's sexy!!)

[Mephisto]

Cristina Scabbia of Lacuna Coil. Hotness (and a lovely voice).

[Kraggi]

I forgot Bowie, thanks for the reminders.

[Catch]

I'm flat-out gay for Matt Skiba (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matt_Skiba) and a little bit for Nick 13 of Tiger Army since I met him in person.

Oh! And Monique Powell from Save Ferris and Patricia Day from the Horrorpops. You just don't see many women in ska or psychobilly and they're gorgeous. Talented too.

[Rare Pink Leech]

I've had the biggest crush on Jewel ever since I discovered her after her third album came out. That's pretty much it for crushes on musicians, although I guess I could kinda include Rihanna, if only for that sexy dancy in her Umbrella video.

[Semidi]

Gen from the Genitorturer's

Piccy. WARNING extreme amounts of leather. That and the quality is rather crap, but you'll get the basic idea. Also, four letter word warning.

Also have the hawts for David Bowie. Did I just say that outloud and type it? I liked him when he looked rather girlish I swear... Wait... No! Uhm. Yeah.

[MrsbwcMD]

My current musical crush is Michael Buble. I so love to listen to him croon!
Edit: Here's a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPUJIbXN0WY

And, Josh Groban isn't so bad on the eyes, either. :)

[Em Blackleaf]

Frank Iero. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Iero) I have a thing for guys that play guitar, and singers. :smallredface:

And, a friend of mine is obsessed with Brendon Urie. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brendon_Urie)
It's kinda creepy. :smalleek:

What's with all the weird last names...?

But, that's all for musical crushes.

[ocato]

I also love buble.

And this girl (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RY04piXvCP4)who does Neutral Milk Hotel covers on youtube

[Skippy]

Alizee. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ceSxEjwXHcM)

you may not know her. she's also known as the reason why France is Awesome.
Quoted for truth. She is really really sexy. And beautiful. Even if she hadn't that body, her face is just enough to make one's heart race.

[The Extinguisher]

Chris Gray of The Black Maria and Kathy Coppola of Circle Takes the Square.

[Raiser Blade]

Shakira. :smalltongue:

[Frosty Flake]

Otep Shamaya.

Alas, I do beleive she bats for the other team... and is much older than me... and never comes to Canada... and could break me like a toothpick.

[Ceska]

Angela Gossow from Arch Enemy. It's crazy how she gets to such a voice when singing while having a pretty normal one otherwise. Besides, she's damn sexy in red leather. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9AcG0glVu4)

[Hoggy]

Cristina Scabbia of Lacuna Coil. Hotness (and a lovely voice).

Kuft, or however it's pronounced.

Also, does Hayley Williams count? I ask this because it's nothing at all to do with the music (Paramore are ewwww), she's just smokin'.

[Shadow of the Sun]

Kurt Cobain. Awesomeness, sexiness, singing god.

Jeff Buckley, for similar reasons as Kurt.

[Tamburlaine]

Patrick Wolf:smallredface:

[Kraggi]

....Am I the only dude who assumed this was about musicy dudes you would go gay for?

...And, more importantly, are the dudes who would go gay for a musician in the minority as it appears?

[Amotis]

Leslie Feist. Definitely Feist. She is beautiful, and has an awesome voice.

I'd also go gay for Conor Oberst, based on voice and looks. Although he is probably a total prick in real life

I sound both of these. Emily Haines, who worked with Feist in Broken Social Scene is very very beautiful as well. Maybe it's their talents that have something to do with it as well, because they are, but they're great.

And also related to Conor Oberst; Maria Taylor. She sung backup vocals on a few albums, namely Wide Awake I'm Horny. I love her voice and she too is one of the talented beauties.

[Ego Slayer]

Jeff Buckley, for similar reasons as Kurt.
*high-five*
Most definitely. Most incredible voice evar. So *twitch* sexy. o_o;

... I'm trying to think of who else, though. Erm... Amotis listed some good ones there. Zaaaaaaaach.

[ZombieRockStar]

I second Emily Haines. I prefer her voice to Feist's, actually. Though I also really like Metric. And, as long as we're talking BSS, also Amy Millan is really really hot in that punky girl sort of way. Canadian girls kick ass.

Who would I go gay for? Hmm...I'm thinking Lou Reed back during the high days of the VU.

[Amotis]

BSS girls are just the very definition of beautiful, cute, and quirky with lots of doses of talent.

Zaaaaaaaach.

[Ego Slayer]

^: Heheh.

I feel so lame for not knowing who some of these people are. >_>
*youtube*

Since Jibar isn't here... :smallamused: This is who his crush is. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQ25-glGRzI)
Yeah, that's right... I've "spoiled" your thread. :smallwink:

BTW... *shoots Lou Reed*

Charlyn Marshall, when she was younger. <3 (Cat Power, ftw.) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXWvjkX446A)

[The Vorpal Tribble]

Alizee. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ceSxEjwXHcM)

you may not know her. she's also known as the reason why France is Awesome.
Yeah, gotta say, she would be the closest thing to a 'musical crush' that I've ever had.

Prefer this video (though same song) (http://stage6.divx.com/user/thader/video/1306725/Alizee)

Also made me grin when she sings La Isla Bonita... a french girl singing an american song with spanish lyrics :smallbiggrin:

[hanzo66]

Ahh, the Night Elf dance chick...

Found the La Isla Bonita dance catchy. She's certainly got an international appeal...:smallwink:

[Ego Slayer]

Ahh, the Night Elf dance chick...
Oh my gawd. I couldn't figured out WHY I recognized her, and that song. I thought it MUST be the Night Elf dance girl, but my head is like a brick right now, so I didn't make the connection. To that I say, "WTF!"

*Night Elf dances... *

About one minute in... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=066_q4DIeqk)

[Evil_Pacifist]

Marco Hietala's beard is the sexy.

[PhoeKun]

I feel so lame for not knowing who some of these people are. >_>


I feel lame even trying to post here. Such narrow horizons... >_<

Oh well, what can I do about it? I like who I like. And who do I like?

David (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vY1itfRFcO0) Sylvian (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LivZtancfJg). It's the voice.

Mmm, now there's someone I can't say I know about. Cool. Watched a couple other videos, and he's got some interesting stuff...

*Grabs Phoe and drags her off to the "Broaden Your Musical Horizons" room*

[SDF]

I'm flat-out gay for Matt Skiba (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matt_Skiba) and a little bit for Nick 13 of Tiger Army since I met him in person.

My cellphone background is a pic of me and Matt Skiba.

I'd say either of the White Stripes... I completely agree with Maria Taylor. And, iuno that chick from AFI.

[PhoeKun]

*Grabs Phoe and drags her off to the "Broaden Your Musical Horizons" room*

Uh... Where are we going, exactly?

Also, in an effort to shoot whatever style points I had well into the ground, let me also say I've been carrying a torch for Hyde (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=XFRZ6URZ) for years. He can play guitar and be a pirate! :smallbiggrin:

[zeratul]

Rachel McDonnell formerly of Cruxshadows, and Kim Deal from the pixies.

Alizee is hot, but I'm not into her music enough to have a musician crush on her.

[Ego Slayer]

RE: David Sylvian, again.
And, my gods, he was damn good lookin' when he was younger. :smallamused: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MT0IqPJsvU)

(Love that song.)

[VeisuItaTyhjyys]

Balsac the Jaws of Death.

*cough* pretty boy*cough* (:smalltongue: )

[Ego Slayer]

*cough* pretty boy*cough* (:smalltongue: )
Hell yeah. I like pretty boys. :smalltongue:

[The Vorpal Tribble]

Hell yeah. I like pretty boys. :smalltongue:
What is it with the girls of this forum and 'pretty boys'? Man...

[Jimorian]

Oooh, just thought of another, although she's local, but with HUGE amounts of talent IMO. Her stage presence outshines all but a handful of the major acts I've ever seen (there's a knack some artists have for projecting energy into the crowd, and she definitely has it).

Her MySpace page at Autumn Sky (http://www.myspace.com/mermaidmmk) has some good examples of her songwriting.

Alas, she has a boyfriend. :smallsigh:

[ZombieRockStar]

What is it with the girls of this forum and 'pretty boys'? Man...

Possibly the combination of "pretty" and "boys." I can't be too sure of this, though. But, since I'm relatively sure "pretty" is a good thing and that many girls are indeed attracted to boys, I would suspect that "pretty boys" are an ideal choice. :smalltongue:

Naw, it's a specific type of appearance. Like 'ruggedly handsome' or 'movie star looks'.

Pretty Boy
An attractive but somewhat effeminate young man

[ZombieRockStar]

Heh. Obviously I'm sarcastic so seldom that nobody knows when I'm doing it. :smallwink:

To add to the actual discussion: I'm going to see Stars for my birthday! Or, at least, that's the plan.
