There's something a guy in a band, am I right ladies? Whether you're preference is for a lead singer, guitarist or drummer, there's something about a man who knows how to make beautiful music.
When you think about all of the different genres out there, it's amazing how much music is made every year. Just go onto a service like Pandora or Spotify and it boggles the mind how technology has increased the reach of music throughout the world. Let's be honest, if there was no YouTube, there probably would be no Justin Bieber...which could be a good thing depending on who you are.
But no matter how much technology infiltrates our lives or is integrated into the world of music, it still just comes down to a person trying to express their feelings. It's poetry put to a rhythm and when a great looking guy does it, all the better.
So it's time to figure out which musicians who think are the best of the best. We're going to show you some classics and some of today's best artists. You just simply have to respond. "I'd rather" or "I'd rather not." Based on your results, we'll be able to tell you who your perfect musician man would be.
Childish Gambino
A lot of people only know this man as Childish Gambino while there's another bunch that only know him by his real name, Donald Glover. This multi-talented actor and rapper has said that he's going to record one more album and then hang up the Childish Gambino name.
Portugal The Man
Despite the fact he's been pounding away at his craft for years, a lot of people mistook Portugal the Man as being an overnight success in 2017. Now, the big trick for this musician is going to be trying to maintain that success and not just being a one-hit wonder.
Zayn Malik
When boy bands break up, there's always the one guy who goes on to be the big star, like Justin Timberlake, the guy who goes on to some success, like Joey Fatone and the guys we forget. With One Direction, Zayn Malik is the Joey Fatone. Obviously Harry Styles is the Justin Timberlake.
Drake
We just can't really get a feel for what Drake is like in real life. He sometimes comes off like a jerk in interviews and other times seems like the coolest, funniest guy on Earth. After seeing some of his old Degrassi High episodes on YouTube, we can confirm that he's only an OK actor.
Justin Bieber
He went from being a cute kid many of us fell in love with on YouTube to a young guy who couldn't quite handle his fame to a man who just isn't selling records like he once did. Fans apparently get older, too. At least he's still got a follower in Selena Gomez.
Justin Timberlake
Maybe you've heard of the guy. Used to be in a boy band... There's no bigger star of the last 10 years than Justin Timberlake. He's married to Jessica Biel, and had a long relationship with Britney Spears before that. Of course, he'll always be the kid from the New Mickey Mouse Show to us.
Johnny Cash
If you're into bad boys, they didn't make them any better than Johnny Cash who was the godfather of outlaw country. In his later years, he had a resurgence that included covering Nine Inch Nails "Hurt" that provided a very powerful video. Knowing he died shortly after just makes it more powerful.
Enrique Iglesias
His father, Jose, was considered a massive sex symbol of the 70s and 80s, so it only makes sense his son look this good. Enrique can also make a solid case for being in the best looking relationship on earth as he is married to women's tennis standout Anna Kournikova. Their children will have perfect DNA
DJ Snake
You may not immediately recognize him, but if you remember the song Lean On from 2016, this is the man behind it. The dance song mixed electronic with Bollywood and was the most downloaded song of the year. He's had a few minor hits to follow, but nothing will probably ever be as big as Lean On
Darius Rucker
We first met Darius Rucker around 25 years ago as the lead singer of Hootie and the Blowfish, which seemed designed specifically for drunk frat boys to enjoy. When people soured on Hootie, Rucker reinvented himself as a country singer and has arguably been more successful in that arena.
Harry Styles
Our pick for Harry Styles being the member of One Direction that goes onto the most success seems like it may be on the money. While none have really broke huge, his Sign of the Times is easily the biggest hit that any member has had since the grew broke up.
Dr. Dre
While he will always be remembered as one of the founding members of NWA, as the creator of the Aftermath label, and for having launched the careers of Snoop Dogg and Eminem, but Dre's real money came when he sold his Beats headphones company for a billion dollars.
Billie Joe Armstrong
In the late 90s, Green Day melded the grunge sound of Nirvana with the punk stylings of The Ramones and created a sound that nobody had heard to that point. They're still making great music two decades later, even if it's a little weird to see guys pushing 50 playing punk rock.
Tyler Hilton
We wanted to throw some curveballs at you, so here's Tyler Hilton, who tried to simultaneously launch a music and acting career, even though never got him to superstar status. He played Elvis in Walk The Line but is probably most remembered for the songs he did while on One Tree Hill.
Pharrell Williams
When you combine the success he's had working with people like Robin Thicke and Daft Punk and his own personal success with songs like "Happy," not to mention all the producing of other people's work, there's probably nobody who has had as much creative success as Williams in the last five years.
Usher
If you're a fan of R&B music, you know just how huge Usher is, but if you don't listen to that genre, you likely only know him for bad headlines and couldn't name one of his songs. No matter. This quiz really isn't about musical talent. It's about pretty faces, so what do you think?
James Morrison
One of the coolest things about James Morrison is his name. Think about it... the guy's name is the same as the lead singer of The Doors. That's like naming your kid Elvis Presley and expecting he'll do anything that be a musician is stupid. He probably won't ever get as famous as the other Morrison, but he's pretty good.
John Legend
Perhaps the most impressive thing about John Legend isn't his amazing musical ability, but the fact he was able to land Christy Tiegen for his wife. We're just kidding. His career should actually be a lot bigger than he is. He's one of the most talented men in music today.
Alan Jackson
Alan Jackson may not be remembered when all is said and done in country music, which is a shame, because he has an amazing, amazing voice. He came along too late to be part of outlaw country, but was just a little early for the goofy pop-like country that seems to be making people happy these days.
Michael Angelakos
The problem with having a difficult to pronounce, spell and remember last name like Michael Angelakos has is that it's just easier to call him the lead singer from Passion Pit. Our money is on them becoming the next U2 or Coldplay. They'll be playing statements long into their 40s.
Michael Stipe
The former lead singer of REM has always been a bit of an odd bird, but hey, that's what a lot of ladies go for. If your thing is the bald, sensitive type, they don't make them any balder or more sensitive than the guy who brought us "Losing My Religion" and "Man on the Moon."
John Mayer
John Mayer's early career may have turned off men with how sensitive he tried to be, but his second act has showed what a great musician and funny person he can be. Dating Taylor Swift probably didn't help, but back then, wasn't everybody dating - and dumping - her?
Bono
He's been making music for nearly 40 years as the lead singer of U2 and has raised billions for worthwhile charities. It's actually kind of surprising he never went off on his own and did his musical thing without collaborating with his bandmates, most of which he met in primary school.
Wayne Newton
Sure, he's past his sell-by date at this point and largely is on the joke that he's become a caricature of the typical 70s Vegas stereotype, but Wayne Newton actually broke into show business as a kid. His biggest hit of all time Danke Schoen, can be heard in Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
Adam Levine
When the other band members from Maroon 5 are sitting in a room and Adam Levine isn't there, do you think they mock him for being on every stinkin' season of The Voice? Of course, he's also the one with the Victoria's Secret model of the wife. Bass players usually don't get so lucky.
Shawn Mendes
We like Shawn Mendes because he's doesn't take himself too seriously, seems to like to have fun with his growing stardom, is a great musician - and most importantly, he's not so cute that we don't think we'd ever have a chance with him in real life. Gettable is important sometimes.
The Weeknd
When you're able to work with Daft Punk and get Selena Gomez to move in with you, you're having a pretty good as this Starboy singer did in 2016. Of course, the men with masks moved on and Selena is back with Beiber. We have a feeling the next act will be even better for The Weeknd
Chris Martin
We've always liked Chris Martin's music. How do you not like Coldplay, even if you pretend to your friends that you don't? Recently though, he's been doing more acting roles and we found him playing himself on an episode of Modern Family to be reason to like the singer even more.
Pitbull
It's hard to tell if Pitbull takes himself very seriously or the whole thing is just an act and he's having the most fun with it. This may sound crazy, but if we were producing the Super Bowl halftime show, we think this guy would do the kind of show that people would always remember.
Michael Buble
We're not going argue this one because it's just fact: Michael Buble is a handsome looking man. And that voice of his can make any woman (and some men) melt. Still, he might not cut it for some. So, tell us, would you, or would you not?
Alice Cooper
Some of the younger ladies taking this quiz may only remember Alice Cooper for his cameo in the first Wayne's World movie, but he was one of the biggest names in music in the 1970s, capitalizing on the macabre rock style popular among bands like Black Sabbath and Kiss.
Marvin Gaye
You've got to wonder what would have happened with Marvin Gaye had his father not killed him in self defense. You can't blame his father, but it was a huge loss to the musical community. We have a feeling he'd be standing aside Stevie Wonder as one of the greats. But would you rather?
James Vincent McMorrow
Here's another guy you're probably not overly familiar with but we have a feeling that's going to change in the next few years. James Vincent McMorrow is able to mix that sensitive guy voice with superior guitar playing. It's also not hard to see why the guy has so many female fans.
Bob Marley
There is probably nobody so closely associated with a style music than Bob Marley is associated to reggae. Unfortunately, cancer took this genius from us a long time ago, but his music is going to stay with us as long as there are people smoking weed. So, yeah, basically forever.
Bruno Mars
If he came along in 1982, Bruno Mars would probably have been the biggest thing in the world. Oh wait, he did, he was just known as Michael Jackson at the time. Mars is obviously crazy talented and based on his guest hosting on Saturday Night Live, he's equally as funny.
Kurt Cobain
Had the Nirvana frontman not killed himself over 20 years ago, what would have happened to the group and how would he have aged? If he was looking for a legacy, he got it, but it's sad to think about his family and all of the music we missed by his decision. Looking back, what do you think of his looks?
Stevie Wonder
Stevie Wonder has been entertaining audiences since he was a little kid and there's no reason to believe he won't be doing it until the day he dies. One of the few people who can claim to have had hits in 5 different decades, few can claim to be such great songwriters, singers and musicians.
Ricky Martin
Sure, there are a lot of gay men in this quiz, but this isn't about who you'd actually have a chance with because then it would be a quiz of no questions. These are famous people who would ignore you if you were in the same room. So, while you're being ignored by Martin, do you think he's cute?
Elvis Presley
Will there be a time where Elvis is still not a pop-culture phenomenon. He started making music 60 years ago and died 40 years ago, but he's just as popular now as he ever was. For the sake of this quiz, we're asking you about young Elvis, not overweight, bloated Elvis. We know that answer.
Post Malone
Remember when we said recently that there is nobody on this list that an average person like you could get? Sorry, we forgot about Post Malone. He's crazy popular right now, but we have a feeling come 2020 or 2021, you'll needed to be reminded who this attractive man is.
Smokey Robinson
Smokey Robinson is an icon in more ways than one. We're not about to list them all here but we're sure we wouldn't have trouble making an argument for him. At the end of the day, it's your choice... does Smokey do it for you? Would you? Or would you rather not?
Clint Black
If not for Garth Brooks, Clint Black probably would have been the biggest country star in the world between 1990 and 2005. We hardly doubt that he's complaining, though. He's one of the throwback acts that can still fill stadiums, in turn filling his wallet. But would you rather?
Ed Sheeran
When all is said and done, Sheeran will probably be remembered more for his songs than who he is actually is, but he seems OK with that. He seems to be the kind of sensitive guy who gives all the quiet, sensitive guys out there hope that they too can be rich and famous one day.
Eminem
The tough part about being a rapper who makes their name about singing how rough their life is that if they become successful, that life starts to get a whole lot easier. It's better to just start rapping like you're a millionaire. We highly doubt Eminem is sweating this problem too much.
Flo Rida
Good Feeling, Wild Ones and Whistle all came off the same album from 2012. If you can find another album with three songs that catchy that came out in the last 10 years, we'll give you...nothing. But this quiz isn't about catchy music, it's about catchy men. What do you think here?
Frank Sinatra
Old Blues Eyes, The Chairman of the Board and Mr. Entertainment are just three nicknames for Frank Sinatra, who owned Hollywood and Las Vegas in the 1960s. He was the founder of The Rat Pack, which included other singer/actors like Joey Bishop, Sammy Davis Jr. and Peter Lawford.
Joe Cocker
Here's another guy who was a giant star during the late 1960s and 1970s who faded into the background before recently dying. He's probably best remembered for "Little Help From My Friends" which was actually a Beatles cover and served as the theme song for The Wonder Years
Jared Leto
Long before Jared Leto was making music, he was establishing himself as one of the best young actors in Hollywood. We always wonder how people like Leto or Jennifer Lopez decide if they want to make a movie next or make an album. Rough life to have to make those kids of decisions.
James Taylor
While he still occasionally appears to sing the songs that made him popular in the 1970s and 1980s, James Taylor has largely disappeared from the popular music scene, but there was a time when nobody was bigger. His biggest hit was probably the super-sad "Fire and Rain."
Daniel Powter
You may not immediately recognize him because he was a bit of a one-hit wonder in recent years, but this is Daniel Powter. Still don't remember? He sang the song "Bad Day" that they used every time someone got kicked off American Idol or a sports montage of failure was shown.
