Top 10 "GREATEST, GAYEST" Albums Ever ?!?!

David Bowie's 'Ziggy Stardust' Named 'Greatest, Gayest' AlbumPosted on Dec 16th 2009 12:00PM by John D. Luerssen Comments (38) Print | Email More David Bowie's 'The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars' has been named the greatest, gayest album ever made. The iconic rocker's legendary 1972 album tops a new survey compiled by Out Magazine that also counts two albums by the Smiths in its top 10.

"At a time when social and sexual taboos were just starting to break down, Bowie as Ziggy created a world where the possibilities were limitless," former Culture Club singer Boy George told the magazine. "You could be whatever you wanted to be."

One hundred albums were ranked, with Tracy Chapman's 1988 eponymous disc, the Indigo Girls self-titled 1989 offering and Judy Garland's 1961 recording 'Judy at Carnegie Hall' also placing in the top five. Rufus Wainwright, Cyndi Lauper and Perez Hilton were among the 100 or so gay entertainers, writers and music industry professionals that were asked to name the ten most important discs of their lives.

The top 10 greatest, gayest albums, according to Out:
1. David Bowie: 'The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars' (1972)
2. The Smiths: 'The Smiths' (1984)
3. Tracy Chapman: 'Tracy Chapman' (1988)
4. Indigo Girls: 'Indigo Girls' (1989)
5. Judy Garland: 'Judy at Carnegie Hall' (1961)
6. The Smiths: 'The Queen Is Dead' (1986)
7. Elton John: 'Goodbye Yellow Brick Road' (1973)
8. Madonna: 'The Immaculate Collection' (1990)
9. Cyndi Lauper: 'She's So Unusual' (1983)
10. Antony and the Johnsons: 'I Am a Bird Now' (2005)

Y'know I never thought of Tracy Chapman as a particularly 'gay' album. Or Ziggy even.

I just listened to Martha Wash today. She was one of my fave voices for drag.

RuPaul needs to be top 20 on this type of list. The list was 100, I don't remember if he even placed. confused

Someone asked about Prince before. He was on the list for Purple Rain and Dirty Mind, but I don't remember what numbers he placed at.

Dirty Mind, Controversy and 1999 definitely is favorited by the gays. Purple Rain, in some songs I can see, especially "Computer Blue".
