So what's the criteria for gayest? Gay artist, gay topic, gay fan favorite, all of the above?

Not being on the list does not make ABBA not gay.

Who could forget the REO release, The Earth, a Small Man, his Dog and a Chicken?

I actually liked it.

Yes, really.

Indigos- I actually like them but liked them much more before they were so militant about their sexuality. Great songwriting actually.

Let's see, I own six of those.

I love love Elton John's Goodbye Yellow Brick Road CD, except the song Jamaica Jerk-Off

RE: Indigos
They're obviously gay. Like I said, before they were so over the top 'we're gonna throw the gay all over you' I loved them. Saw them a bunch of times and they're great players and singers. Totally cool acoustic duo.
But what's the deal with "Okay, we're gay, now we have to make it the central focus of our songs, etc.?"

Guess I'm being narrow minded here.

I own 3. Can't stand Elton John anymore. He's become such a humourless jerk.

What, no Carpenters on that list? God, when their backup vocals came on, I'd get the creeps. Love Karen's voice, but her brother gives me the absolute heebie jeebies.

What an utterly crap list!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Crap concept yes, but CRAPPPPPP list. so many way gayer albums than these. This list looks like it took 2 minutes to write.

I've got this on cd. Was tough to find too. Underrated album. Never thought of it as gay but I guess anything Cronin sings might qualify. Power balladeer second only to Perry.

Wheels Are Turning edges it this category though. "Can't Fight This Feeling" is pretty tough to outgay. It's like Air Supply for melodic rockers.

What makes it gay Dean? I mean outside of "Love In The Future" which sounds like the lyrics were written by the poet Al Gore.

George Michael's "Listen Without Prejudice" is one of the top 50 albums of all time, IM not-so-humble O.

It needs to be on this list. I still meet people who said they had "no idea" he was gay. What, the tousled poodle hair and purple spandex didn't give it away?

Incidentally, Dead or Alive's "You Spin Me Round" is a metaphoric tribue to gay sex.

I cant see the Madonna on there. but whatever.

For Your Entertainment should be number 1

It can't be a "gayest" list without Fudge Tunnel and/or Butthole Surfers and/or Frankie Goes To Hollyscrot, etc.

the gayest of gay. the "errrrr" song. (every word ends in -er) but I would listen to REO sing it 10 times in a row live if I just get to gaze at Bruce.

Here's one:

Funny Stockton- FYE is the next album my friends & I are buying. Great songs on there and Carol is picking us up 10 tomorrow. Have you listened to the full versions of the songs on Adam's website or ILike.com? Probably not.
