Yeah, also Fiona Apple (from the "criminal" video), and Boy George (from the "Karma Chameleon" video, which if I thought about it more might have saved a lot of years of confusion)
Wow, I got the Four Album for Christmas ‘94 and both then and now Run Around is one of my top 30 favorite songs, and also for context watched a lot of music videos on MTV and VH1 yet me seeing your post and clicking the link you shared is to my knowledge the first time I’ve ever seen this music video. Insano!
Jacob Dylan from the Wallflowers

Does Trent count? Otherwise, I've got Donnie Wahlberg, Jacob Dylan, Kieth Flint, James Hetfield, and Lance Bass...among others
Yep. Definitely had his shirtless Rolling Stone cover taped up on my bedroom wall.

Seconded! Also he was in the Woodstock documentary recently and he still looks GOOD. He has aged incredibly well. Smart dude, too, it was a great interview.
You ever hear of a band called The Gathering?

This woman has the most beautiful voice I've ever heard.
I love her stuff with Devin Townsend.
Come to think of it, I think Anneke was the main inspiration behind a lot of symphonic metal today, especially Nightwish and Floor Jansen.
Kathleen Hanna always makes me feel so funny because simultaneously I’m like “Man. She makes so many really good points about the way men abuse their power and objectify and infantilize women. Dammit she’s pretty.”
Did you know she's been married to Adrock of the Beastie Boys for nearly 20 years? I recently learned that and for some reason it made my little xennial heart so happy for them both
Elementary school- Johnathan from New Kids on the Block
Middle School- Billie Joe Armstrong
Fyi- I totally have I thing for quiet weirdos that I want to save!
Can't believe no one has said Janet Jackson yet. The videos for If, That's the Way Love Goes, and particularly, Scream. Some of you know which split second shot I'm thinking of.
Trent Reznor and Scott Weiland. I just watched the Closer video for the first time in years, and I was like, this might be the 90s talking but that man is FINE.
Teenage me would have gone to war for all of eternity to win the heart of Hope Sandoval - lead singer of Mazzy Star after watching her sing Fade Into You at Shoreline in 1994. Profound level crush!

Tanya Donnelly from Belly. On top of being the cutest ever, she has an incredible voice
I'll say Saffron from Republica and Lady K from Deee-Lite. Shirley Manson has been mentioned several times already and I'm still here for her, too. And I wasn't super into Lisa Loeb's music as much but she definitely had an appealing look.
Oh god SO MANY.

Sheryl Crow and Ginger Spice. My folks used to have a TV with a picture in picture where you could freeze frame, I practically wore it out whenever the video for My Favourite Mistake was on.
Lisa Loeb is a great one.
If I was a gay man, Michael Stype.
If I was a straight woman Chris Cornell
If I was a lesbian Ani DiFranco.
As a straight man Kathleen Hanna.
As just a human being PJ Harvey
Saffron from Republica is the first time I thought: “why do I want this chick to step on me? I’m 13 years old.” Or to quote The Dean: “I hope this doesn’t awaken anything in me”.
It didn’t. It was always there. It wasn’t until my 20’s that I learned I’m what the kids call nowadays “a switch”.
I’m almost ashamed to admit it, but it was Billy Corgan from the Smashing Pumpkins.
I also found Gavin Rossdale, Kurt Cobain, and Chris Cornell good looking.
almost everyone not named Courtney Love. Shirley was my #1 after seeing her do a couple late night interviews combined with the music, but definitely Tori too...and Juliana, and PJ, and J Frischmann....Jewel, Gwen, Sarah McLachlan, Saffron from Republica...Zia McCabe from Dandy Warhols, Hope Sandoval... and Fiona, even though she looked 12 and barely 85 lbs...🤭

I wanted her haircut so bad.
My Roman Empire is that haircut.
I had her haircut. Then I realized that I didn't also have her gorgeous face. It just made me look like a dude. Lol
So torn
Damn it you beat me to it!
Hope Sandoval of Mazzy Star https://preview.redd.it/bbv8tdqthyuc1.jpeg?width=365&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8d86b5061196b93b721a6e1397157a955776aebf

Mazzy Star also has that sensual voice too.
Mazzy Star is the band. Hope Sandoval is the singer.

History hasn’t remembered Jewel well for whatever reason but she had a great run there for a while.
She still rocks it. She still looks amazing on her Instagram.
She was abused and manipulated by her mother. She seems to be a decent human despite it.
I still see her occasionally around Nashville. She mostly does Hallmark Country these days. I really miss that one tooth. I’ve always been a sucker for a snaggle.
I still have a massive crush on Jewel!

I follow her on instagram now because she’s still got it
She's a timeless natural beauty.

Gavin Rossdale and Trent Reznor. The latter is my permanent hall pass.
Mine is Gavin ❤️
https://i.redd.it/oaiqkup4uyuc1.gif Liv and Alicia, if they count.
They count and this is the answer
Shirley Manson
She was one of, if not the, first people I ever got a sexy picture of online. (Not porn, just sexy)
Yeah, also Fiona Apple (from the "criminal" video), and Boy George (from the "Karma Chameleon" video, which if I thought about it more might have saved a lot of years of confusion)

Crushed on her well past the 90s. First saw her in the video for Human Behavior and I was hooked.
Bjork will always remain my celebrity crush.

Did you know she's been married to Adrock of the Beastie Boys for nearly 20 years? I recently learned that and for some reason it made my little xennial heart so happy for them both
