I can't help but think Marc Bolan is really underrated these days. T.Rex deserves to be remembered, darn it!
How many of us guys can relate to the lyrics from Joe Jackson's "Is She Really Going Out With Him?" We all can! We want to see women we like being with men we like but the reality is, often times it doesn't happen that way.
Other choices for cool rock stars- Alice Cooper (best shock rocker ever), Brian Eno (underrated outside the internet), Deborah Harry (the perfect woman in both voice and looks), and David Byrne of the Talking Heads (what a strange, strange band). Of course Iggy Pop and Ozzy Osbourne are awesome too but as much as I love Black Sabbath, Ozzy was way cooler solo.
