You forgot
Art Alexakis from Everclear, who may be an asshole for sure, but his sad, angry sexy lyrics totally set him apart from other artists.

I'm so glad...
I'm so glad I'm not the only one on this board who finds Howard Dean sexy:
I remember seeing him at an August 2003 rally in Philadelphia and it was
like seeing God. He's way hotter in person, let's face it ladies, the TV
does not do Dr. Dean justice. Just him speaking the truth makes me all hot
and bothered. Yum!
I'm kind of bummed that you didn't have Keith Olberman. He's the news
equivilent to sex! He can read the phone book and make it look hot!
Thank you for adding Alton Brown, that man can talk about food and science and
get my blood flowing. Or Mr. Brown can cook me a yummy meal...Good choice.
Jon Stewart, Alan Rickman (that blood British dialect)...great list overall!
Thank you Salon!

I would like to add...
I don't think any of these guys have been mentioned yet...
Christopher Eccleston, a great actor and was Doctor Who number 9.
Wayne Coyne, the lead singer of the flaming lips
Sendhil Ramamurthy, Mohinder from "Heroes"
and
Tim Curry

Wow
that was so very vanilla.
Did you forget that people come in different colors?
You're certainly not color blind.
Very disappointing.

Bittersweet...
First off I whole heartedly agree with atleast three of the choices, Stephen Colbert IS the sexiest man alive, with Alton Brown being a close second, and then of course Mark Ruffalo. (I know I watch too much TV : -( )
I am surprised to learn that so many people out there find these men sexy, since everyone I have ever told of my crushes on these men, laughs at me!!
More Competition, i guess, SIGH!!
:-)
I agree that Barack Obama should have made that list.
Good job!
-
One left off
Jeremy Piven needs to be mentioned. Beefy and funny.
-
Keith Olbermann gets my vote
My knight in shining armor, standing up to the tsunami of bile from the far right and sending it right back in their faces. Plus, he's got a sense of humor, a twinkle in his eye, and if you mussed his hair a bit and took off his glasses... oooh my knees are getting weak.
Great idea puttng together a list of the real hotties.
-
vindicated!
i can't believe it took three pages of comments before someone added gael garcia bernal. i have been in love with him since "y tu mama tambien." also, brothers jonathan and phellipe haagensen from the brazilian film "city of god." google the haagensens, you won't be sorry. even better, rent the dvd. good lord.
let's also add zach braff. he broods in "garden state" and cracks wise in "scrubs." he's a charmer!
i agree with an earlier poster on tim robbins, i also submit john hurt. and beck.
i know there's more, but i can't think right now. i agree wholeheartedly with at least a third of salon's choices, and like many of the commenters didn't realize my crushes were anyone else's -- i thought i was just weird! thanks, salon!

(your) white men can't bump
Could you be any twittier? If you're talking about fuckable, which I believe is a component of the category, the sexiest man alive is the actor who played Stringer Bell on the first three seasons of The Wire.
-
Am I the only one?
Your list includes three of my boyfriends (Jon Stewart, Mark Ruffalo and the amazingly sexy Philip Seymour Hoffman), but I'd have to add both Ed Harris and Elijah Wood. Nobody seems to agree with my assessment of Harris (except perhaps Amy Madigan), but he does it to me every time with his crinkly ice-blue eyes and gorgeous smile. And even the wonderfully creepy turn Elijah Wood took in "Sin City" made me swoon. Those saucer eyes - he's just darling!
-
My pick: Dave Gahan
Like Neil Patrick Harris (a great choice), he went from newt-ish to totally hot. One dissapointment: He's straight (does anyone really want him to be?).
-
A true service to womenkind!
I have to say that I agree almost 100% with the choices for Sexiest Man Living (Doogie Howser was the only one I simply could not come around to) but I am shocked and saddened by the obvious miss of Hugh Do-Me Laurie. God everything about him. That constant scowl, severe attitude problem, sultry voice with the swoon-worthy British accent. And how he fist-fought off Borat's attackers a couple of weeks ago in NYC. All signs point to SML, sexiest man living.

Colbert
You called it sister.

The Word's Gone Mad...
...if there's only ONE other person out there besides me who said Don Cheadle. I read this whole letter thing this morning to see if anybody else loves Don. Playing it with courage is sexier than anything, and if there's been a better example of this in American theaters in the last 20 years than Hotel Rwanda, I missed it.
But Peter O'Toole is out there somewhere, and I don't care how old he is, he's still the guy who asked Julie Christie to lick the toothpaste off his mug in "Don't Look Now."
Anybody seen Eric Dickerson lately, anyway? (He used to be a running back for the LA Rams.) I saw his bare ankles on Joan Rivers once and it made me vibrate like a tuning fork.

All White boys... all the time
Good to know that even among the supposed liberal, open minded, diversity pushing female writership of salon.com - boys of color are still invisible.... that's great. At least People has some "people" with a bit more maelanin involved in their equal opportunity sexiness...
-
Dean Kamen
My vote for sexiest guy is Dean Kamen, inventor of the Segway and lots of other stuff. Smart, hunky, successful and caring -- he creates innovative solutions for people in need.

great list
This is a great list, but I agree with the previous comment about it being a bit colorless. How about Samuel L. Jackson, Ving Rhames, or Taye Digs? Samuel because he seems to have a wonderful sense of humor. Ving because of the strength in his voice, and Taye because of that smile.

I, For one, am shocked and dismayed!
Shame on you Salon! Who knew the home of such gender-equality advocates, the fine and reasonable women of BroadSheet, could stoop to such barbaric, sexist, demeaning pseudo-porn??
Men are NOT pieces of meat to be ogled and electronically drooled upon- we are HUMAN BEINGS, damnit! It is because of articles like this, and the one-track-minds of all you women hooting and hollering in this letters section, that young and impressionable child stars such as Dustin Diamond are driven to pornography. Ugh. You disgust me. Even Screech cannot escpape the indignity forced upon him by hordes of 'dork fetishists' clamoring for a peek?
Did I miss something? Did Larry Flint buyout the site? Is Ron Jeremy the new editor-in-chief? Time was a man could doff his shirt and take a refreshing swig of Diet Coke without feeling like a free peep-show. Now I can barely walk down the street without hearing the constant whistles and catcalls of women in pant-suits. It makes me feel cheap and used, and I blame articles like this. I feel dirty Salon, and so should you.
