We're still celebrating Out's October music issue featuring our first ever Top 100 Greatest, Gayest Albums of All Time which we created by polling over 100 musicians, filmmakers, writers, and critics.
All month long we're running the individual top 10 lists from some of the aforementioned famous friends, like Justin Bond. Most famous as Kiki of the beloved musical duo Kiki and Herb, Bond also starred in John Cameron Mitchell's (another contributor to our Top 100) Shortbus and can routinely be found haunting the bars and clubs of lower Manhattan.
Justin Bond's top 10 Greatest, Gayest Albums of All Time:
10. New Order, Power, Corruption and Lies: This album made me realize fags could dance and be made horny by something other than disco.
9. David Bowie, Hunky Dory: So glam! So Warhol!...Oh! You Pretty Things. Pre-dates Ziggy Stardust and is totally gender-queer.
8. Janis Ian, Between the Lines: At Seventeen made me question my sexuality and the answer was, "I'm a lesbian!"
7. R.E.M, Document
6. Diamanda Galas, Plague Mass: My grief...! My grief...!
5. Marianne Faithfull, Broken English: I Heard it for the first time on my way to my job at the Dairy Queen and pulled over to have that brilliant
EUREKA! moment realizing there was something more.
4. Patti Smith, Easter: "Rock 'N Roll Nigger" says it all.
3. Deee-Lite, World Clique: Total joy in the darkest of times.
2. Scissor Sisters, Scissor Sisters: Total joy in the most joyful of times.
1. Bronski Beat, Age of Consent: The first overtly political queer record. It saved lives and broke hearts. "Smalltown Boy" is probably one of the most haunting songs about the queer experience ever!
