I don't know what it is about people that can create good music, but for me sometimes develop a crush on them.(not a serious one, I just think they are super cute). Sometimes they are pretty hot too, but not always and I'm not sure what it is that makes them so attractive. There's just something about someone playing music that you love...you feel a connection to them, not like a deep meaningful connection, maybe it's more of a connection to the music but there's something there...
Seeing people play live always effects how I feel about them. Some of them are really great live and have such an energy and love for what they do and and to me that is really endearing. I usually refer to this as "cute".
Here's some of my crushes...
Todd Park Mohr of Big Head Todd and the Monsters. I just saw them live, I had no idea Todd was so dang cute. When he smiles it's pure joy on his face. 
Jon por (jonsi) Birgisson of Sigur Ros. Okay this guy...not cute at all, but the music he makes is stunning. I saw them live and the sounds he can make live with a guitar left me speechless(in a good way ;). His passion and talent are what make him attractive.
Ben Folds. He's just so clever and down to earth and cute...and yes it helps that he plays the piano like nobody's business. 
Okay so after seeing the Led Zeppelin movie: The Song Remains the Same I like so many others thought Robert Plant was pretty hot. I don't know what it is!?
Everyone knows I love Trey because he's so cute and so happy and so incredibly talented.
Damien Rice, I'm pretty sure we could be best friends. I just love him.Do you have any musician crushes?

(Robert Plant, really? Hey Hey mama...)
Ryan Shupe sure is a cutie pie, and I'm certainly with you on the Ben Folds and Trey crushes too. Sure do love ya sis! :)
Joe Perry from Aerosmith, and Elvis. Hey Airie, Ryan Shupe is in my home ward- If you want to stalk him I know where he lives.
Briton, I promise I'm in the majority of women that think Robert Plant is...well was,in his prime, EXTREMELY hot.
OK, OK, Paul McCartney (along with a million other girls my age) and Paul Simon (is there a trend here?) Actually I don't think I could be friends with any famous entertainers. I'm always disappointed when I learn about their personal lives and values and opinions. But still like their music, particularly if the lyrics are memorable.
At the risk of exposing some weird type of man-crush, I do know exactly where you're coming from. I too experience from time to time a profound connection to a band or person through the power of music. I'm right there with you on TPM, wow...what a great show that was. I've experienced similar connections with Trey & Co., definitely with the entire ensemble of Sigur Rós (I can't think of another band that has reached me on such a deep emotional level and in a completely foreign language ta'boot), Isaac Brock (Modest Mouse), among others.
