Number 5: Ryan Star
Known from: Rock Star: Supernova
Star gets the number 5 spot because I don't really know him from a rock band, but rather from reality television. Regardless, he was my favourite contestant on Supernova and I was very sad when he was voted off.
Check him out playing his own song, Back of Your Car here.
Number 4: Trent Reznor
Known from: Nine Inch Nails
Okay okay, at 42 he's a little old for me. Regardless, he's aged well, and he's still relevent! NIN's most recent album Year Zero is amazing. You can check out one of the videos, Only, here.
Number 3: John Mayer
Known from: Being John Mayer
I'm kind of departing from the "rock" rock, but I'll let it slide for Mayer. I love his songs, I love his voice, I love that he's tall and very handsome. This picture is from his new GAP campaign.
Here he is playing Neon from his first album.
Number 2: Sam Roberts
I love Sam Roberts. I mean, to the extent that I'm a member of the "Sam Roberts is my husband" group on Facebook. I love his music, love that he can pull of the messy, scruffy look, love that he's Canadian.
I found this clip of him playing a Gordon Lightfoot song.
Number 1: Josh Homme
Known from: Queens of the Stone Age
I save the best for last. QOTSA has been one of my favourite bands for a while, and I've been holding a torch for Josh for almost as long. It may be my weakness for redheads, or that I listened to his singing for so many hours that I began to imagine he's singing for me, but he just does it for me.
Here are the Queens doing their hit No One Knows on acoustic.
