This morning, we were inundated with pointers to Shoutmouth’s list of the 50 Hottest Women in Music, which is topped by Jessica Simpson, places Ashanti at No. 50, and has a bunch of questionable dude-logic in between the two. The list, which has been giving the Digg mouth-breathers something to drool over while they wait for their cron jobs to run, is made up of a few token indie-cuties, the usual TRL suspects, and Willa Freakin’ Ford, who apparently gets “music points” for sleeping with some of the Backstreet Boys a couple of years back. Anyway, we read over the list, rolling our eyes and despairing over what, exactly, makes a woman “hot” to the list’s creators (seriously, Willa Ford?), when we came to an important realization: We can engage in our own objectification, too. After the jump, we join forces to rank the 50 hottest men in music as of right now.

Before we get into it, there are a few rules:

Rule No. 1 (The Newcomer Rule): Each artist must have released at least one full-length album prior to August 1st, 2007 in order to qualify.

Rule No. 2 (The Pseudo-Musician/Googlebait Rule): Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton are disqualified for obvious reasons.

Okay, that’s only two. Bring on the meat!

50. Kevin Federline Hey, he turned out to be the responsible one. Who knew?

49. Sir Richard Branson Admittedly this would make us feel a little Anna Nicole-ish, but still: private jet planes!

48. Constantine Maroulis He blow-dries his chest hair, and he’ll probably let you borrow his styling products.

47. Hinder (all) They didn’t buy all those bras attached to their mics themselves, after all. Wait, they did? Oh.

46. Fat Joe His inscrutably feline face makes us suspect he is a tender (no pun intended) lover.

45. Bez Twenty-odd years doing nothing but shaking a pair of maracas has probably given him a good sense of rhythm, if you follow our meaning.

44. Flea Especially attractive when throwing up on the side of the stage.

43. Moby People love rubbing a bald guy’s head. Fact.

42. James Murphy Putting him on this list should only stoke his sexy, sexy ire.

41. Jack White (only when angry) Putting him this low on the list should only stoke his sexy, sexy ire.

40. D’Angelo Now that he’s so bloated that nobody wants him anymore he can finally be ours. Who could have guessed we’d one day be the “pretty one” in a relationship with D’Angelo?

39. Eddie Van Halen Well, uh, he’s probably away on business a lot, and there’s a good chance his house has a kick-ass entertainment center.

38. Hell Rell What’s hotter than a man who isn’t afraid to shell out money on dental work?

37. Dan Deacon GirlsGuys with glasses are always hot:

36. JC Chasez Maybe then we’ll finally get to hear Kate.

35. Joey Fatone He would have been higher if we’d put this list together before The Singing Bee debuted.

34. Daft Punk (Bangalter only) But only if he wears the helmet to bed.

33. Jarvis Cocker Witty, good at cocktail parties, doesn’t take up much room.

32. Bun B Fellow blogger. Workaholic. Has similar issues about his weight.

31. Nuno Bettencourt Leaving Satellite Party kicked him up a few notches.

30. That guy in Seattle who got beaten up for doing “Yellow” at karaoke A brave soul. Shame about his shit taste.

29. Ludacris Despite his randy rep, he’s the kind of guy you don’t have to worry about signing a woman’s naughty bits on promotional tours. Trust us, we asked.

28. Andrew WK If he can put up with Kathy Griffin, he has indefinite patience.

27. Peter and Bjorn (but not John) But only if they whistle while they work. Ahem.

26. The guy from the Gym Class Heroes whose name nobody knows because Patrick Stump sings the hook on like all of their songs We’re not above doling out the pity rankings.

25. Lee Ranaldo Aging better than Kim Gordon.

24. Buckethead But only if he doesn’t wear the bucket to bed.

23. Lil Wayne When we were growing up, our favorite movie was also Gremlins.

22. Elephant Man Free hair dye for the rest of our lives.

21. Gerard Way Free eyeliner for the rest of our lives.

20. The Simpsonized Billie Joe Armstrong 50% less acne than real life Billie Joe Armstrong.

19. Patrick Wolf We would never have to be worried if our outfit was clashing.

18. Carlos D Pros: Gets us into all the good parties. Cons: Possible you-know-what infection.

17. C.C. DeVille Clearly, the front-runner to star in Rock Of Love 2: Love Among The Catskills.

16. Andy Summers A guy who really knows what to do with both hands. Eh? Eh??

15. T.I.P. (Not T.I.) Bad boys for life. (Even if T.I. does dress better.)

14. Toby Keith We have deep-rooted daddy issues and a thing for world-class scumbags. So sue us.

13. Clay Aiken Hello, Claymates! Please keep the “darn you!” quota in your ire-filled comment under two.

12. E-40 An endless supply of pet names for the rest of our lives.

11. The lead singer of Anal Cunt He told us if we didn’t include him he would write a song called “Idolator is Gay and has Cancer.”

10. Mr. Oizo (Or his puppet equivalent) Our concession to furry culture.

9. Rufus Wainwright We could totally change him. Plus all those withering bon mots would make even horrible arguments kind of enjoyable.

8. Justin Timberlake (Obviously) Points off for “Ayo Technology.” Hey, everyone has their “Dancin’ In The Street,” you know?

7. Britt Daniel Suspect he may possibly be too uptight to dance with us to Poison songs in his underwear, however.

6. Big Boi Despite having a stripper pole in his house, he seems less likely than his partner to dump us for a neo-soul starlet at the drop of a head wrap.

5. “Weird Al” Yankovic The accordion lessons alone would be to die for.

4. Rick Rubin This guy is so into freaky sex acts it’s not funny. You just know it.

3. Brad Paisley Already covered today.

2. Patrick Stump Maura threatened to cut Jess if he wasn’t in the top two. Jess then took comfort in the fact that Maura has a boner for Patrick friggin’ Stump.

1. The ghost of Michael Hutchence He’s long gone, but still: Duh.
