40%

One of the aspects of the 1990's I miss the most was the idea that gender roles meant absolutely zero when a band you were into made music you loved. (Lest we forget that Alain Jourgensen looked more like Missing Persons when he started out.) 
Of course, everybody of an age to remember such, would say that Tanya Donelly was attractive, and they would be correct.
Yet, you would need to watch the video for "The Devil You Know", by JESUS JONES, to know that Mike Edwards was the most beautiful man from that era. You might argue that it was Michael Hutchence, or Jeff Buckley, but the latter 2 are dead, and Mike Edwards is still alive. But, why don't we talk about him?  I can count on less that one hand the amount of people I know who have followed JESUS JONES. Sad. 
And what about Shannon Hoon? Granted, he made that singular folly of the time, heroin on a fucking tour bus & shit, but he was soooo beautiful!
