Out.com is currently featuring a list of 'The 100 Greatest, Gayest Albums of All Time." Surprisingly, the only theater albums to make the list were RENT, THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW and HAIR ('68) it in the Original Cast or soundtrack division.
The article states, "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."
