Lisztomania - History's Hottest Musician
Every generation has its boyish musical heartthrob: Elvis. JT. MJ. Bieber. Springsteen. Kurt.
Sex icons sold to teenyboppers is a tried and true method of musical promotion. And while some may prefer the androgynous appeal of the space cowboy David Bowie, or the the pristine prettiness of the K-Pop boy band BTS, or even the hairspray fumed Bon Jovi, there is one musician in history that is the undisputed champion of manly-good looks. A musician so handsome he makes Bieber look like Meat Loaf. Turns Elvis into Skrillex. His name was Franz Liszt and he started a craze known as Lisztomania.
