If you want to find out about gay bands, there's a website (imagine!)
http://www.gaybands.org

That's super! Thanks for asking!

I like nearly all their stuff:

Queen (were any besides Freddie gay?)
David Bowie
Judas Priest (Halford is the only gay member, though, as far as I know)


I like some of their stuff:

Culture Club
Elton John
Scissor Sisters
Marilyn Manson (maybe the bi thing is just for gimmicks, I dunno)


Straight, afaik, but they sure have a "metrosexual" flair, and I like a lot of their stuff:

Duran Duran
Frankie Goes to Hollywood
Tears for Fears
A Flock of Seagulls
A-Ha
Adam Ant


In a league of their own, but faaaaabulous:

the film cast of Rocky Horror (Richard O'Brien is admittedly bi; I'm not sure about Tim Curry)

Just out of curiosity, did you check that link before you posted it? It's about concert and marching bands, just in case it wasn't intended as a joke.

Queen
Heart
Carrie Underwood
A few songs by Barry Manilow
Weird Al (although I don't think his music is that gay, but my critics do)

I think they're ADORABLE!!

Styx (bassist Chuck Panozzo is gay and HIV positive)

Frankie Goes to Hollywood is as gay as they come.

Scissor Sisters - Take Your Mama

It's about a gay guy who's trying to tell his mother why he's not hitting it off with the chicks (more or less). It's got a good beat/melody. Kind of Elton Johnish.

WTF?

I think your sister fantasies have gotten the better of you.

I'm not using "homosexual" in the traditional sense.

So you're saying Heart's music is gay?

If so you better go back and listen some more,those girls in the 70's could rock-n-roll,in fact you need to hear the covers of the Zep songs they did.

Who's that guy that was doing some gay stuff in a bathroom? George Michaels? I like some of his stuff.

I second the George Michael, and sprinkle on a dab of Wham!

Shit.

Depeche Mode
New Order
The Cure

I sense a strong correlation btw new wave and homoness according to the thread starter :hmmm:

I agree. Heart may be a lot of things, but "gay" isn't one of them, unless he is referring to the music itself being "gay" in the non-sexual sense (admittedly, some of their 80s stuff got downright sappy). Hell, Nancy Wilson is married to their bassist (or ex-bassist, I don't know if he's still there or not), or so I've been told.

You are referring to music right and not the bathroom stuff...?

David Bowie and Freddie Mercury are two of my all-time favorites, gay or otherwise.

Okay, by obviously gay, are we talking, members of the band are gay, or gay lyrics, or both?

Queen members were not all gay and most of their lyrics are not gay, like mustafah, tie your mother down, and so many more.

Judas Priest however, geesh, did Rob write anything that wasn't gay oriented (an overstatement, but still) I like The Ripper, Beyond The Realms of Death and tons of Judas Priest songs.
Let's see, I like the song "Breakfast at Tiffany's"...

I think most of today's newer "pop[ular" music, sounds like a bunch of whining fucking maggots.

Here is a prime example, the band "New Found Glory" calls themselves a "punk"band. Check out the song, "This Disaster" what a bunch of girls. what has happened to dudes!!!

Okay, I am obviously getting carried away here, sorry

carry on

David Bowie

Some older Queen - Shear Heart Attack LP

MDC

It's gay for a dude to listen to them. I'd never listen to them openly. Headphones only.

These were the two I was going to name.

The Cure(Robert Smith) are damn creative and I like the idea of a very artistic pop band. They have catchy songs as well as alot experimental stuff. Depeche Mode just have a 'darkside of humanity ' vibe going for them that I really enjoy. It's cool that some artistic bands can actually find the success that these two bands have had at their peak.

Does the Brokeback Mountain soundtrack count as "gay music" ?

=P

Someone said on here that Coldplay was for teh ghey. Whatever. I dig 'em.

Z

Nancy Wilson is married to Cameron Crowe

The music (the stuff that I liked) didn't make him gay it was the whole "having sex with another man in the bathroom" thing that made him gay.

Frankie Goes to Hollywood

?? Really?

Heh "Dead Cops. Dead Cops. Dead Cops."

"Come on do the Chicken Sqwack with me!"

"Corporate Death Burger, Ronald McDonald!"

:D

I have no problem cranking up the likes of Barracuda,Kick It Out,Crazy On You or Bebe LeStrange in my home or truck,what I do find amusing is that someone like you(a openly admitted Star Wars fanatic)could make such a statement.

oh, i hate admitting this, but I still like Erasure. And Wilson Phillips. I just hate myself for that!!

Actually I've heard the lead singer Dave Dictator is gay but I'm not sure.
They were awesome when I saw em live last year.

This song is pop-crack Relax by Frankie Goes to Hollywood

Different strokes.

Someone told me it was gay to listen to chick bands, too.

I forgot the ultimate gay-ass song when I was a little kid I loved Wake Me Up Be for you go-go By Wham!

One of the artists I listen to that is without a doubt gay is Rufus Wainright.

placebo

i've been listening to death cab since 99... nothing homo about it :shake:
saw them play with pedro the lion a couple of years ago.. very good show

ROFL
nice

yeah hes a bundle of sticks.

Yeah, I saw them this winter. Excellent show.

The smiley indicated a joke on the relative gay-ness of emo. They're awesome; I've got the majority of thier discography.

cool
i have a silly amount of death cab, postal service, and ben gibbard solo shows.. there was a really cool video of a radio show the postal service did. i have it on the powerbook :) somewhere

The only Cure CD I ever owned was "Mixed Up". It was a collection of extended versions and remixes of older songs. I played the hell out of that CD. I like the "mixed up" versions more than the originals. (basically the remixes were the originals to me)

For my money, "Disintegration" was one of the best albums of the 80's.

One of my top 10 of all time.

the lead singer, ann wilson, is a lesbian. a large lesbian by the way. her sister nancy is straight though.

Where did you hear that? I have never heard anyone say she was a lesbian before. It could be true, just I've never heard it. When I did a google search, I found a number of references to a Professor Ann Wilson (not the one from Heart) who is something of a noted gay & lesbian activist in academia, but the only reference tying the singer Ann Wilson to lesbians was in an episode of the L Word where some of the girls went to see her in concert and found the music to be spiritually "healing."

By the way, I stand corrected about Nancy being married to their ex-bassist. It was one of their ex-guitarists with whom she was romantically linked, though they never married (she eventually married Cameron Crowe). Nancy was dating guitarist Roger Fisher in the late 70s, while Ann was dating his brother, guitarist/manager Mike Fisher.

I don't usually do the pop genre, but I like Kelly Clarkson. Shhhh....

Well, if Mike Fisher has a vagina, that would make Ann a lesbian. ;)

This thread took a different direction than I expected. I thought it was going to be about music you like that is popular with gay men. I was expecting to see some of you admitting to liking Gloria Estefan and Whitney Houston music.

And this thread had such great potential. Oh well.

I'm a fan of Depeche Mode, George Michael, and The Pet Shop Boys. The latter have an especially large following in the gay community. Good enough??

How about Harvey Danger - Flagpole Sitta... Huge song when I was in highschool.

it was probably a rumor. for some reason i took it as fact. i dont know her personally so all i can go on is hearsay. many have had statements reported about their sexuality, most not believed. man, i really felt strongly about this one, next thing you are gonna say is that there is no santa claus. ok, the jury is still out on this "ann is hetero" thing, but she is fat!!!

Yes, that much is true! ROFL

Although, I have heard that she has lost some weight, but I haven't seen any recent photos, so I don't know how much weight or if it is still off.

I want your brown mound Robin brown mound
let me lick it baby, up and down brown mound

I want your MUUUUFFFFFF, Muuu-ahh-uhhhh-ah-oh-ah-UFFFFFFF
I want your muuu-ufffffff.

As far as songwriters/singers go, I have enjoyed some of the songs by Melissa Ethridge, k.d. lang, Indigo Girls and Rufus Wainwright.

Queen

OMG I can't believe no one listed The Village People.... SOOoooooo Ghey!

#7

Annie Lennox. Isnt she lesbian?


or any Lilith Fair artist....

Coldplay is good.

Since when is Marilyn Manson's music considered gay?

No mention of Morrissey/The Smiths? They had some decent tunes and gayness abounded.

Totally gay. Not bad though...

You are stupid. I don't know of ANY guy that would deny liking Heart. One of my favorite bands. One of the greatest bands ever.

She's rich and she's a great singer. Who gives a shit?

I once rocked the BronskiBeat in a South Beach Karaoke Bar (thread closed)
