Do you mean "beautiful" as in "I find this woman physically attractive," or "beautiful" as in "I think she has a beautiful voice"? I find all kinds of women's voices beautiful, from the rough edged, bluesy, smoky, soulful and sultry to the ethereal, otherworldly, high and girlish.

Some women in music who I think are attractive...

Beth Ditto



Liz Fraser



Kristin Hersh



Sleater-Kinney (sadly now defunct)



Jolie Holland



The Be Good Tanyas



...Seriously, how cute are they?



Oh, and how can I forget... Letitia Sadier from Stereolab? Gorgeous French woman.

Yes, and Janis Joplin...



...but it's not about that. Title says "musician". So, considering they're not necessarily vocalists, it doesn't refer to their voices.

True, you make a good point. I could have included some outstanding guitarists, drummers, horn players, fiddlers, too. Janet Weiss from Sleater-Kinney didn't do a whole lot of singing with that band, but she's definitely a hot drummer.

OK. Anyway, there are these threads too:

Apart from that, and considering the difference between "beautiful" and "sexy":

I don't make distinctions between what I find beautiful and sexy. That's usually a male thing. You guys do seem to like to categorize and compartmentalize women (the whole "hott or not" thing...). In addition, the women I posted pics of are women who I think are very attractive, not only great musicians and songwriters. Which is why I posted their pictures in this thread. Because this is a thread, is it not, about women musicians who we think are beautiful?

Wait, what's wrong with that? Categorizing and compartmentalizing (whatever or whoever) is a natural tendency in human beings. And it is useful. For instance, it allows us to distinguish between mainstream and alternative beauty models. Whether we like the mayority criterion or not.

How is it useful? I'd be interested to hear your explanation. If you mean, however, that it's useful in helping us identify someone as socially acceptable or not, your point is lost on me.
