Which Lindsey is best?

[wondergirl9847]

My faves are:

Mirage era LB, in which he had the SMOKIN' HOT 5 o'clock shadow. YUM! Farmer Lindsey...LMAO!! I could say something dirty, but I'll be an instead. LOL

Late Tusk era (like in that pic from Ebay I linked on the Rumours board), with the fluffy, but not huge fro a la my avatar.

Tango, like in the Little Lies and Seven Wonders videos.

Now....good gravy, is he frickin sexy or what?

In terms of entertaining, I love the Mirage video...he was so into playing around with the audience, touching their hands and making faces and stuff.

The Tusk era was greatness too, as that tour was just ON!

This tour is awesome too, he is AMAZING to see live!! I am so blessed to have seen him 6 times! He keeps ya (pardon the pun) hypnotized.

In a word... yes. (Where's that dang blushing icon)

Facial hair or no facial hair, either way is fine by me... but show me a handsome man with a head full of unruly curls, and I'll melt.
I don't even know why.

ehh.. forgive me this....but ehh....maybe it's because you're from

beaver county..........................

DON'T.

I think Lindsey looks wonderful now, but I do like that spastic Tusk Lindsey. Absolutely love that stage presence.

amen.

Rumours era Lindsey (Afro boy! ) was the best! I thought he looked coolest there. A very close second would be the Tusk era.

Lindsey was at his tastiest with the beard and 'fro circa 1975 - towards the end of '77 the 'fro was taking on a life of its own, lol. I really like short Lindseyan beards. They're so masculine and edgy.

OOTC comes in second - he started out a little thin but as the tour progressed, he filled out a little and let his curls get a little more unruly. His hotness once again went through the roof.

If we could average just-a-tad-heavy Dance Lindsey with just-a-tad-skinny SYW Lindsey, we'd have the perfect size for LB, and third place for hotness! lol I do wish he'd dye his hair, though. Takes years off one's age.

The eighties were a bad time for Lindsey. We start out with the New Wave wanna be in ill-fitting suits and makeup (although "natural" Tusk doc Lindsey sans makeup and in a tight T-shirt and tight jeans is quite delicious, he choose not to go with that onstage!)

Law and Order - our man had gotten a little too heavy, which I'm afraid does affect one's position on the hotness scale. "Farmer Lindsey," or, as I like to call him, "Gilligan," looks plain silly. Eraserhead.... shoot, do I even need to expain why I don't like that look? lol

Lindsey's found a good style for him now - the jeans, the button-up shirt (thank goodnes he surrendered the Hanes T-shirt). His hair, well, I understand his motivations for growing it that high, and hey, he makes it work, lol. He's still hot enough to make me scream for him!

Gerald, I think I am going to keep it for a while. It does make me look a little older, though.

Does Lindsey intentionally create an image for each of these iterations?

[dissention]

Definitely the in-need-of-ritalin Tusk Lindsey. He was the energetic poster boy for the department of special education back then. Very entertaining and very creative.

The toher great Lindsey was the Cradle Lindsey. He was just positively glowing with happiness and it showed in his performances. I totally dug him.

All of that unruly, chestnut brown hair, framing his face and accentuating his blue eyes....

Ugh. He needed some serious manscaping back then. His chest hair was pretty rank, buddy.

Poor thing doesn't have that much! He had to make the most of it!

*covers eyes*

He let it grow all the up to his freakin' chin, though! It covered his adams apple and totally grossed me out. Looked like he was related to Sasquatch.

You know you've reached the pinnacle of fandom if you find yourself analyzing Lindsey's chest hair.

I'm definitely on the not-liking-Rumours-and-earlier-Lindsey train.

My top 3?

3. Tango Lindsey - He had done away with the full Eraserhead cut but still had good hair and was definitely dressing sharp.

2. Tusk Lindsey - Both the beginning and then end of the tour are all good. I mainly like it because it was so drastically different that Rumours and really fitted the direction his music took.

1. Without a doubt, OOTC Lindsey - In my opinion, it does not get better and Lindsey does not get hotter than this. 3 words for you: Soul. Drifter. Video. Sepia tones were freaking made for this man. Sooooooooooo hot.

Yeah, that Jeff Lynne afro is pretty sexy.

Seriously, there's something strangely appealing about it. He's hot no matter how you slice it.

I think I prefer Tusk Lindsey, he looks hot in short hair, and oh, did I mention that I think Tusk is an AMAZING album that he produced, played on, wrote,...did he engineer that sucker too?

Tusk Lindsey rules.

A hot Sasquatch nonetheless.

No way! He was hotness personified back then!
There's something exquisitely masculine about a guy with curly/wavy hair, and a hairy chest.

Ok, I'll stop now... I'm drooling like Homer Simpson.
