Who Is the Most Crushworthy Band of 2006?

12/13/06, 5:20 pm EST

Wolfmother Raconteurs

We really like this allmusic-conceived idea of charting this year’s most crushworthy bands. Yes, some of them may be physically attractive or whatever, but we’re talking more about artists that give you that woozy, weak-in-the-knees feeling based on their sound alone. Bands whose songs make you instantly start plotting mixtapes. Bands that have totally heartbreaking, life-defining tunes. (And the occasional hot lead singer is cool too).

Our nominees for most crushworthy band of 2006 would include The Raconteurs, Wolfmother, Be Your Own Pet, The Long Blondes and the Hold Steady, for starters. Who has made your heart skip multiple beats this year?

Elizabeth Goodman

Elizabeth Goodman, you are no Christina Kelly, so stop trying to act like one.

Cally | 12/13/2006, 7:09 pm EST

The Killers – Brandon Flowers with Read My Mind…

SoWhat451 | 12/13/2006, 7:44 pm EST

The Strokes- Jules’ vocals in Heart in a Cage are deadly! The Arctic Monkeys are definitely up there too as well as Babyshambles, the View and Dirty Pretty Things.

Colin Meloy of The Decemberists has always made me swoon.

LiveForever | 12/13/2006, 7:56 pm EST

Strokes for sure! the epitome of cool. alex turner is also pretty good looking- arctic monkeys

Steve | 12/13/2006, 8:26 pm EST

Imogen Heap. Okay, she’s a little weird looking, but there’s something truly sexy about a 6′1″ musical genius who can sing like that.

Muse…matt bellamy is a genius and seems like such a nice person…and dom howard the drummer is just dreamy…but yeh the strokes and killers are right up there too.

I must concur on Muse. Matt Bellamy…mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

I also want to put in a vote for the late, beloved, Arab Strap. *Sob*

Krantus | 12/13/2006, 9:53 pm EST

Be Your Own Pet is the winner, for sure. Have you seen Jemina? She is a goddess.

bb74 | 12/13/2006, 9:58 pm EST

The Raconteurs for sure. What a band!

So I just wanted you all to know that I hate the new format of the ROLLING STONE DAILY NEWSLETTER. If I wanted to have to click on links to read the news I would just go surfing around. Can you not just send us the story in its entirety? Plus half the time it’s not worth the time looking. Also the “writer” sounds like an old geezer trying to be cool with his teenage daughter’s friends, “we have the deets” … who says that?.
