Are we voting for the artists music or how good they look in glasses?
 
I would have voted for Dave Stewart, but I chose Hancock.

We are voting for our favourite musicians who somewhat incidentally wear glasses. Nothing more, nothing less. There are very much aspects for creating another and another polls, aren´t it?

Ray Manzerek, because he quite literally cracks me up.  Every time he does an interview, regardless of what decade it happens to be, he comes off sounding like a terribly self-aware hipster, with lots of "Hey, man"s and references to how damn spiritual the Doors were.  He's a grade A bullsh*tter who somehow managed to contribute to some of the finest, most  nakedly emotional music ever recorded.  This amuses me endlessly.

I'd love to hang out with him sometime and get him drunk.  See if I could crack that tragic hipper-than-thou persona.

Like others, I would have voted for Dave Stewart, who even has a band named after his spectacles, but I would have chosen him for his spectacular music.
