4. sexy, maybe... but sexier? Well, maybe for you, but Jonie's personality, plus

her brilliant lyrics, and her playfulness make her the sexiest for me.

12. To each his own...while you're lusting after Joanie, that's less competition for me
lusting after the others...As if.

But I do admire Ms Mitchell, and have done so for well over 30 years. I'd never disparage her.

17. As did I some time ago, so I'm not about to argue with your willingness to
lust after her...God Damn, Judy Collins was HOT back then, too. And Emmylou Harris.

And before you object to the sentence above...yes, they're all of them still desirable women who have aged well.

I can't believe I just said that...

5. Shit I am a straight male, but Mr. Johnny Thunders was the
sexiest guitar player to ever live.

Here he is playing a drag club in '73 as a member of the New York Dolls. The guy in the dress is the same fella playing with Hubert Sumlin and Charlie Musslewhite in another thread around here believe it or not.

20. I was just thinking about Ani
I love her style. I am sadly uneducated about Joni Mitchell but one of my favorite singer songwriters, Christine Kane is a fan, so I should get my but in gear and learn.

My favorite singer/players that I'd like for dessert:

Ani - Shameless
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMmsVzUACiU

Nancy Wilson playing 'silver wheels' intro to Heart's 'Crazy on You'
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcAn3z7D1Pc

Hottest of the hotties Michelle Malone (she is The ONE for me when it comes to sexy)
Rooster 44/Travelin and Unravelin
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFiIn6cTVdY&mode=related&search=
Some new songs playing here:
http://www.michellemalone.com
(I really like "Tighten up the Spring" )

Christine Kane - Right Outta Nowhere
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KAjvsyZv4Y
(I think this might be the song that Kathy Mattea covered)

PJ Harvey - 50 Foot Queenie
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qI8KMemjhA
the electric guitar in here is her

that's all I can think of for now...brainfried from a test I just took

34. To each, his/her own. But I think Emmylou is pretty cool...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TU97vLkxxtY

Given that Joni is one of the most creative guitarists. I would suggest that her technical knowledge and skill is at the top. But early Emmylou is pretty hot.

36. She is still one of the most beautiful women
ever. At hardly Strictly Bluegrass a couple of years ago, I started flirting with her. She was watching a show and i saw a beautiful woman about my age and started to chat her up. After a minute or two I realized it was EmmyLou (she had sunglasses on and a scarf). All I an say is WOW!

40. yep, after I wrote the thread, I realized I hadn't mentioned Metheney.
And he is such a great guitarist. But, I then wanted to see who would be first to mention him.

41. he is very sexy too!
Edited on Fri Aug-31-07 01:50 PM by tigereye
haven't seen him for years - he's a wonderfully innovative guitarist.

And Mitchell's playing and lyricism put many current female guitarists to shame. I love her Jaco/jazz period and really like the timbre of her mature voice.

She's got the chops that stand up to any other.
