Some pretty nice choices, such as the gone-to-seed Alec Baldwin, but I'd like to suggest one other: Ray Davies, who with his brother Dave founded the now-defunct Kinks. Ray has written some of the best songs ever ("Days," "Waterloo Sunset," "You Really Got Me," "Dead-End Street," etc), as well as a very imaginative book, "X-Ray." He combines great looks (tall, bony, with a gap-tooth grin) with lyricism and intelligence and a twisted sense of humor that plays to
whatever your sexual appetites might be. And he's had a very inconsistent career, too, which makes him all the more endearing.
