You got: 1970s!

People magazine recently named John Legend as its 34th Sexiest Man Alive, joining a long list of Hollywood's hottest who grace the covers of their special annual issue, from actor George Clooney to athlete David Beckham. Starting with a then-29-year-old Mel Gibson in 1985, the list has grown over the years to include some A-list royalty who are not only recognized for their good genes, but also for their golden careers.

There are only four guys who have been featured more than once. Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Johnny Depp, and Richard Gere have all won twice, although Gere's first win was as part of People's special "Sexiest Couple Alive" award, along with Cindy Crawford.

Now that John Legend has joined the ranks of People-certified Sexy Men, it's time to ask whose attractiveness has stood the test of time and which award makes you do a double-take. Who's your favorite cover-dude from People's Sexiest Man Alive list? Rate them in this quiz!
