Who looks great playing guitar and who doesn't?

Some artists look great playing guitar and some look awkward and a bit stiff. Phil Lynott looked great playing bass.

I might take some heat for this, but I just hate John Lennon's "stance" with the Beatles, he almost looks as stiff and boring as an animatronic. Paul and George made up for it, especially George with his natural movements when soloing.

Pete Townshend looks great playing guitar.

Roger Daltrey, not so much...

I think Hendrix was one of the most photogenic guitar players ever.

I seem to recall a Phil Collins music video from the Dance Into the Light album where he was playing a guitar, and it looked really weird. I'll try to find a Youtube when I get home from work...

Billy Joel playing a guitar just doesn't look right at all.

Mick Jagger look's like a fish out of water on stage with a guitar.

I can tell you who doesn't...Mark Knopfler...he always looks bored!! Don't get me wrong, though...he's is in my top 10 favorite guitarists of all time.

I think SRV looked great while pleaying his guitar, so much concentration and feelings. But David Gilmour's pictures look amazing, nobody can beat that looks

Townshend overdid it with the forced theatrics, IMO.
