The magazine has released its annual list of the 100 men who made history hotter, and the honors go to exactly who you thought they would (if you keep up with celebrity news): Herbie Hancock, the pianist best known for hit songs like Cantaloupe Island or Watermelon Man. For the second year in a row, our gorgeous hottie beat out some other equally hot men for the number one spot! And we can't say we disagree!

Twitter Frenzy

Within minutes of Herbie Hancock being announced as this year’s winner, it had become the top trending topic on Twitter:

“He is unquestionably handsome, he’s been smartly building his career on more than his looks,” wrote one fan.
“#Herbie Hancock being named THE Sexiest Man Alive makes his girlfriend the luckiest Woman Alive?” joked another one.

The major upside of the award is that the American pianist, musician and composer will be getting plenty of press for the next few weeks. So what do you say? Do you think Herbie Hancock is the Sexiest Pianist Alive? And if not, who gets your vote?
