I was just looking at a pic of old Paul and it got me thinking about how well or not so well these guys have aged! Anyway, I was hoping for some opinions! Again, if I left out someone just tell me!! Uh by the way, I purposely left Keith Richards out! I was gonna put Elton John on it but isn't he like 10 years younger than the rest of those guys? |

Paul. He still seems just as young and energetic as people a third his age.....Ringo actually seems that way as well....appearancewise, most of these guys still look great for their age, but Paul is still having kids for cryin' out loud, along with still writing songs constantly. |

Yeah, but Paul's face has just gotten so strange looking. Very saggy. I think Daltrey looks very similiar to the way he did years ago. Not too many wrinkles or sags. Jagger is the most wrinkled I think! Clapton actually looks pretty good though. Maybe I should have voted for him! |

I didnt know the poll was about looks so I voted Clapton. Oh well, he actually aged pretty well too. I would have voted Paul. I know many think he didnt age well, but for a 63(?) year old guy hes not that ugly. I wish i had a pic of Keith Richards to post as he is an example of not aging well. Makes me wonder what Keith Moon would look like as an old man. |

Clapton has better looks than any of those other folks, age-wise. |

I'd have to say Eric Clapton here. He just keeps pumping out the great music. Favourite albums of his: - Unplugged - New one, Me & Mr Johnson |

If we're talking musically I would have to say Paul, tho Eric is almost a peer since Paul is not creating much worthy NEW music, but playing all the old hits. |

Heh, he sings like Droopy as well....no offense to Paul, but in concert, he sort of slowly lets the words roll out of him in that sort of fashion....just old age starting to get to his pipes, I guess. |

I really, really don't think Paul aged well at all. I saw a recent pic of him from one of his shows and at first I didn't believe it was him. He was a really adorable, baby-faced type of guy when he was younger. But now he's sort of, eh...so-so looking. Not good, not bad.
Ringo doesn't look so bad for his age, really. I think he probably looks better than Paul- considering Ringo wasn't the little heartthrob Paul was. So in terms of aging "better" it goes to Ringo, of the two.
Mick Jagger? I always thought he was hideous and gross when he was young, and he still kind of turns me off. Yuck. Keith was actually much better looking than Mick in his youth, but look at Keith now! (shudder)
Roger Daltrey? Actually, not too bad. But never my type.
Pete Townshend? No. Yuck.
Rod Stewart? Looks like he's had a hell of a lot of mediocre plastic surgery.
Eric Clapton? Alright, I guess.
Guess my vote goes to Roger then. Actually, Bruce Springsteen doesn't look too bad for his age, however old he is. I'd take him over all of them. |

What about Bob Dylan? He has not aged too well, not that there was much to age. Did anybody see the Victoria Secret commercial he was in. His face was frightening |

Uh, well I didn't put Dylan on the list for the same reason I didn't include Keith Richards. There just didn't seem to be any point in it!! But Bob was pretty cute in his sixties days. And his son is gorgeous! |

I've never really been a big Clapton fan, earlier or now, so that probably affects my viewpoint. Voted Paul all the same - though he seems to have had some work done. And musically speaking, well, I watched Paul live last month and there seemed to be nothing wrong with his energy or stage-presence.
I don't think Ringo is a contender at all - for the last twenty years (er, and I'm seventeen) I have never seen him without the sunglasses - and I imagine he's wearing them for a reason (his eyes where droopy even when he was young). |

You know who looks SUPER young? Cliff Richard. I know he isn't an international phenomenon or even that well-known by anyone in the states (and I'm in the states), but there was some pic of him recently and he looked YOUNG. Well, I thougt he did. He was born in 1940 as well. Geez. |

Well, I can't claim to know anything about the man myself but he does look great for his age. Far younger than anyone on this list here, from the pic I saw. |

Paul may be active, but he looks awful (I'm sorry). His face is pasty and sagging, he's full of wrinkles, and his boyish haircut doesn't fit his face anymore. Plus, I think he'd do better to let the hair go gray because the dye job that worked so well around 1989 just ain't cuttin' it anymore. His face looks too white and pasty for the dark hair.
On the other hand, Ringo looks great for his age. Then again, most offbeat-looking people seem to get better with age while the good-looking ones (Paul) lose their looks.
I always wonder what John would look like today. To tell you the gruth, I don't think he looked very well the last year of his life (too thin and appeared to look well over 40). I'd bet he would have been bald, too. Someof the worst John photos (IMO) are the ones where he's wearing that turtleneck sweater with Yoko (like on PEOPLE magazine and the WOMAN 45 picture sleeve). But for what it's worth, my wife thinks he looked great then!

Yeah, but its so subjective to guess how John would look today. I agree that he was SO skinny and frail-looking, especially in his last year. But he was also a health nut and was really into trying to quit smoking and wasn't doing any heavy drugs. His looks could have sustained and he might even appear years younger, or he could have gotten older looking, or he could have lost a little more hair but still had some, or he could be bald. Its SO subjective. My opinion? I picture him still being kinda on the thin side, but hopefully not that thin. Also, he would have less hair, but more than Ringo, and he would kinda be youthful and more happy. I personally feel the best years were just ahead for John, and he was becoming a far more fulfilled and happy person. Tough.  |

You forgot to include Bruce Springsteen in that poll. Nobody has aged better than him (and that`s not only referring to looks and health, but also to artistic matters).

He's 54. So he's still a few years younger than the rest of the guys. Ringo's 64 right? So it would be unfair competition! I wonder who's the youngest on the list. Anyone know? I don't feel like looking each person up. I'm lazy. |

People, the best aged rock star is obviously Little Richard. He looks like he could still be in his 30's or 40's. |

He also looks as if he's had a TON of plastic surgery! Now that's not fair! Although Paul did have a face lift a few years back so maybe that's why he's got the most votes.  |

Not ver old. 57 or something like that. Far too young, that's for sure. |

Woah. Bruce is actually 54? I'm impressed. He looks tremendously good for his age. How about Sting or Jackson Browne. My mother thinks Sting is sexy. I think Sting is probably one of those dudes who gets manicures with his wife. Someone mentioned Dylan. He kind of scares the living sh*t out of me, actually. (Thank God this poll is only physically-centered, though, right?) Brian Wilson doesn't look that great, but he also had a pretty rough time so my sympathy to him all the way. Hmmm...Ray Davies? Not too bad, but not that great either. Simon and Garfunkel? I think Garfunkel kind of looks the way I'd imagined he would look at this age, as does Paul- though he looks SO different without his toupe. They weren't hot then and I never figured they'd look any better now, but they have preserved fairly well compared to others. I still think Bruce is winning here. Maybe Jackson Browne could beat him out, though. How old is Jackson Browne? He looks kind of youngish, so I'm guessing he's probably still in his 40s somewhow and shouldn't count. Tom Petty was always kind of gross and skeletal to me. He still looks the same, just older. I never even bother to look at him sometimes. I love his music, though, so I shouldn't be so cruel and shallow. But this whole poll kind of centers around being so, just slightly. |

Bowie could have been included I guess. He's 56. Still a little bit younger than the others though. But I bet he'll still look pretty good at 64! Better than Ringo anyway. BTW, has anyone seen Ringo's eyes in the last 10 years? What's that about? |

I don't know. Probably nothing, but he's taken to wearing sunglasses at all times for about the last ten years! It makes you wonder. |
