goldtooth Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 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" I applaud your honesty.

Apples388 Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 I applaud your honesty. God I was such a gay child. I used to type my 'setlists' on dad's typewriter and then make a mix-tape of it. Then every afternoon after homework I'd 'rehearse'. Of course all my choreography was inspired by the Who's That Girl Tour Keep it Together Tour 1989 was REALLY EDGY though.

Apples388 Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Your poor parents. Did you have a headset? This is ESSENTIAL for any young aspiring gay. Well the Keep it Together and You Can Dance Tours were pre-BAT so no headset.. but I didn't really do hairbrush mic.. I was always more a fan of deodorant stick mics. And yes I agree, my POOR PARENTS indeed.. mum still blames herself for buying me True Blue in 1986. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ursaminorjim Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Why are The Smiths albums? The lyrics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolidayGuy Posted September 10, 2008 Author Share Posted September 10, 2008 Celebrated writer Andrew Holleran once said, “If you love music, you may find yourself in the curious position of following a young man not because he is sexually interesting (or even sexually possible) but because the radio he carries is playing ‘Do or Die.’ ” An astute remark from a gay man who understands the stimulating, unifying effects great music can have on its listeners. But what makes an album great? And perhaps even more critical for this list, what makes a great album gay? To create our list of the 100 Greatest, Gayest Albums of All Time, we polled more than 100 actors, comedians, musicians, writers, critics, performance artists, label reps, and DJs, asking each to list the 10 albums that left the most indelible impressions on their lives. After receiving responses from Boy George, Rufus Wainwright, Cyndi Lauper, the Indigo Girls’ Amy Ray, Candis Cayne, Perez Hilton, Nate Berkus, Jake Shears, John Cameron Mitchell, Wilson Cruz, Justin Bond, Darren Hayes, Junior Vasquez, Bruce Vilanch, Janis Ian, the Cliks, Ari Gold, Holly Johnson, and a slew of others, we tallied the results to determine our top-100 list. You’ll notice we expanded the catalog to include not only records by queer musicians but also any records that have had relevance to those voting. While albums by Elton John, k.d. lang, George Michael, Pet Shop Boys, and Ani DiFranco appeared time and again on the lists, many celebrities included what they consider gay masterpieces by mostly straight acts like ABBA, Donna Summer, and, of course, Madonna. So here they are: the seminal, flamboyant, trailblazing, gender-bending, campy, theatrical, audacious, unforgettable albums that changed our lives. 100 The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band 99 Joni Mitchell - For The Roses 98 Ferron - Testimony 97 Janis Ian - Between The Lines 96 Nick Drake - Bryter Layter 95 Culture Club - Kissing To Be Clever 94 Hair Original Broadway Cast - Hair 93 Sade - Lovers Rock 92 Morrissey - Viva Hate 91 Grace Jones - Nightclubbing 90 Kate Bush - The Kick Inside 89 Fifth Column - To Sir With Hate 88 Hüsker Dü - Zen Arcade 87 Madonna - Confessions On A Dance Floor 86 Madonna - Madonna 85 Nina Simone - Anthology 84 Cyndi Lauper - True Colors 83 Bette Midler - The Divine Miss M 82 Cher - Believe 81 Scissor Sisters - Ta-Dah 80 Rufus Wainwright - Want One 79 T. Rex - Electric Warrior 78 Various - The Rocky Horror Picture Show Soundtrack 77 New Order - Substance 76 Ani DiFranco - Imperfectly 75 Carole King - Tapestry 74 Michael Jackson - Off the Wall 73 Various - Fame Soundtrack 72 Donna Summer - Once Upon a Time 71 Elton John - Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy 70 Rent Original Broadway Cast - Rent 69 Frances Faye - Caught In The Act 68 Nirvana - Nevermind 67 Hüsker Dü - Candy Apple Grey 66 Soft Cell - Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret 65 Le Tigre - Le Tigre 64 Patti Smith - Easter 63 Björk - Debut 62 Jeff Buckley - Grace 61 Sleater-Kinney - Dig Me Out 60 R.E.M. - Automatic For The People 59 Bronski Beat - The Age of Consent 58 Liz Phair - Exile in Guyville 57 Prince - Dirty Mind 56 Team Dresch - Personal Best 55 David Bowie - Diamond Dogs 54 Tori Amos - Little Earthquakes 53 Culture Club - Colour By Numbers 52 Kate Bush - Hounds of Love 51 Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Welcome to the Pleasuredome 50 Rufus Wainwright - Poses 49 Patti Smith - Horses 48 Cris Williamson - The Changer and the Changed 47 The Magnetic Fields - 69 Love Songs 46 Madonna - Ray of Light 45 Bikini Kill - Pussy Whipped 44 Pet Shop Boys - Very 43 Prince - Purple Rain 42 ABBA - Gold 41 Melissa Etheridge - Yes I Am 40 Pet Shop Boys - Behavior 39 Laura Nyro And Labelle - Gonna Take A Miracle 38 Dusty Springfield - Dusty In Memphis 37 Blondie - Parallel Lines 36 Madonna - Erotica 35 Yaz - Upstairs At Eric's 34 Donna Summer - Bad Girls 33 The Smiths - Hatful Of Hollow 32 The Smiths - Meat Is Murder 31 Sarah McLachlan - Fumbling Towards Ecstacy 30 Diana Ross - Diana 29 Pet Shop Boys - Actually 28 Queen - The Game 27 Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) 26 Scissor Sisters - Scissor Sisters 25 k.d. lang - Ingénue 24 Sylvester - Living Proof 23 Deee-Lite - World Clique 22 The Gossip - Standing In The Way Of Control 21 David Bowie - Hunky Dory 20 Queen - A Day at the Races 19 The B-52s - The B-52's 18 George Michael - Listen Without Prejudice, Vol. I 17 Lou Reed - Transformer 16 Queen - A Night at the Opera 15 George Michael - Faith 14 Erasure - The Innocents 13 Ani DiFranco - Dilate 12 The Velvet Underground & Nico - The Velvet Underground & Nico 11 Various - Hedwig And The Angry Inch Soundtrack 10 Antony And The Johnsons - I Am A Bird Now 09 Cyndi Lauper - She's So Unusual 08 Madonna - The Immaculate Collection 07 Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road 06 The Smiths - The Queen is Dead 05 Judy Garland - Judy at Carnegie Hall 04 Indigo Girls - Indigo Girls 03 Tracy Chapman - Tracy Chapman 02 The Smiths - The Smiths 01 David Bowie - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars http://www.out.com/detail.asp?id=24081 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HolidayGuy Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 Yes, from last year (I did some mergin')- they surveyed a number of notable gay celebrities (or ones who are very gay-friendly), and this was the list they came up with. An album doesn't necessarily have to be "gay"- I reckon most of these aren't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I will give them a shot one day, but I hate Moz's solo stuff which has really probably kept me from checking them out, although I hear they shit over his solo music.

glittercandy Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Ziggy Stardust is not the Gayest album of all time, I think they put it there to seem edgy and unpredictable. Not sure how Nirvana gets on there but no Britney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 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. <img src="http://forums.madonnanation.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/vogue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="vogue.gif" /> I know this thread is like 2898298789826383637 years old, but The Smiths have a big gay fanbase and songs about boys touching each other and the like. But why the fuck is Confessions not higher and that stupid list?! Ultra gay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
