Guest Coked Up Baby Boy Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Is RAY OF LIGHT gay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolidayGuy Posted August 31, 2008 Author Share Posted August 31, 2008 I thought that, too, but there's gotta be some reasoning behind it. Why are The Smiths albums? And, yay for TIC being the most ACCLAIMED gay Madonna album on the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Coked Up Baby Boy Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Yeah i wondered about The Smiths too, maybe the gay Goths love them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Coked Up Baby Boy Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I spun Erotica the other week after not hearing it for ages. It's still such a sexy album. I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bedtimestorynyc Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 same here for the past 3-4 weeks it's been one of my most listened to albums, alongside with the new mylene's 'point de suture' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svperstar Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Ray of Light, eh? What an unorthodox choice. If anything, Confessions and the debut should be MUCH higher than either ROL or Erotica, as clearly they are her most "gay-friendly" in terms of their accessibility to the dance-loving queens.

Skin Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Ray of Light is a classic album. Hardly a "gay" album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acko Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 what r the criteria? & Ziggy??? The figure himself, yes... . But many a fag will run from that album..'Ewww guitar..'.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldtooth Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Perhaps Ray of Light is there because it's her most recognizable latter-day Madonna album? I'm glad to see Erotica to be the highest of the studio albums. Makes sense. Madonna and COADF also. Ray of Light though? Maybe they read the tracklist and saw Candy Perfume Girl and thought straight away... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolidayGuy Posted August 31, 2008 Author Share Posted August 31, 2008 Some of the albums in the top 10 aren't for the dance-loving, though- i.e. The Smiths, David Bowie. svper, stereotypical thinking goin' on? RE ROL- remember M saying that some of the music was great to listen to while on E or somethin'? Well, there's reason right there to be on the list, me guesses!

HolidayGuy Posted August 31, 2008 Author Share Posted August 31, 2008 BTW- matt cho said Out polled "100 gay notables, asking them to list the top 10 albums that 'left the most indellible impression' on their lives.' " This included Boy George, Rufus Wainwright, Jake Shears, Indigo Girls, John Cameron Mitchell, Darren Hayes, Holly Johnson, Ari Gold, etc. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whyme? Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 IC is not gay at all as its the most popular non-fan non-gay album imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldtooth Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 You Can Dance should be #1. c'c'c'c'c'c'c'c'c'c'c'c'c'c'mon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gus Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 IC is not gay at all as its the most popular non-fan non-gay album imo. 100% agreed! Everybody i know owns the IC...i'd pick Erotica and COADF as her 'gayest' albums whatever that's supposed to mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paradise Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 i'd say 'evita' was the 'gayest' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonski43 Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I don't see most of her work as gay. Just the fact she is a ballsy successful female artist earned her that title but most of her songs are just pop and not in any way camp. COAD is probably the gayest of the lot but looking at the top ten I am looking at it from a camp factor and the list clearly isn't otherwise it would Erasure, Pet Shop Boys and the Village People hogging the top spots.

svperstar Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Some of the albums in the top 10 aren't for the dance-loving, though- i.e. The Smiths, David Bowie. svper, stereotypical thinking goin' on? I'm speaking relative to Madonna's inclusions, not the list as a whole. When the gays think of Madge's albums in terms of the "fabulous," something tells me that ROL isn't the first to come to mind.

Guest Hafo Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 You'll be surprised, at least in Europe. The gayers seem to know every single song from Ray of Light, as opposed to Music, AL, COADF or HC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YAY I used to dance to that all the time as a limp-wristed little 7-year-old. I even made up my own You Can Dance Tour 1988 with my little tape player. The setlist included "Can't Stop" and "Ain't No Big Deal" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
