10. Jennifer Lopez
As Eminem said (more or less), we'd have sex with this chick even if we were related. When Jennifer Lopez blossomed into J. Lo, it was hard to believe she'd been the dark-haired dancer from In Living Color and in Janet Jackson videos. Our favorite features are her high cheekbones, tousled mane, almond-shaped eyes, and Jenny-from-the-block smile. Just kidding, it's all about her ass, of course. (And particularly as she rolls in the sand in the “Love Don't Cost A Thing” video.) Even when she tried to distract us with the Versace dress cut down to there, we kept trying to get a glimpse of her you-know-what. -Rebecca Haithcoat
9. Sheila E
Appolonia? Please. The hottest Prince girl was Sheila E, no contest. Nobody in the '80s was rocking fingerless lace gloves, one-shoulder tops, and gem-encrusted two-piece suits like that. She can play the drums. She doesn't so much sing her words as pant them. Instead of dancing, she struts. In Krush Groove she invented the term “bad bitch.” The string of shows she played with Prince last year at the Forum proved that, at 54, she indeed still has it. -Rebecca Haithcoat

8. Liz Phair
Liz Phair was sexy when she was shy and only got sexier as she began funning around with Auto-Tune. Also, she just loves to fuck. How many other rockers just love to fuck? Prince treats sex as some sort of ritual, the Rolling Stones surely do it mechanically, and countless others use it to fill an emotional void. But Phair just loves it. Loves it with her orange juice. Loves it between rounds of Xbox in a strange dorm. Loves it after getting walked in on by her kid. -Dan Weiss

7. Madonna
When it comes to sex, Madonna literally wrote the book. Flip through 1992 S&M coffee table tome Sex to remember just how provocative the Queen of Pop can be. The rest of her career, meanwhile, is a study in alluring contradictions: the Catholic-girl-gone-bad persona, the edgy lyrics sung in a delicate way, the muscular yet sensual dancer's body. When it comes to sex, she's an icon. -Linda Leseman
6. Shirley Manson
In Garbage's best video, “The World Is Not Enough,” Shirley Manson plays a literal bombshell who's also an android. It's the perfect realization of the striking redhead's unsettling sexiness; that feeling that her nails toying around your throat might actually be playing for keeps. Her band is always a safe distance behind her in their clips, not wanting to be too close to someone who looks best in spattered-blood red. She has to be more normal IRL. Right? -Dan Weiss
