Out's October issue features our first ever Top 100 Greatest, Gayest Albums of All Time, as calculated with the help of over 100 of our famous friends. We know how much everyone loves (to hate) a list of anything -- so please go weigh in along with the others about what we've obviously overlooked. Or, if you're feeling friendly, what you also love.
Today's top 10 list comes from Rufus Wainwright, who appears twice on the Top 100 himself -- once at #50 with Poses and again at #80 with Want One. The singer-songwriter is currently hard at work on his opera Prima Donna, which will premiere in the UK next July at the Manchester International Festival.

fantastic list!
But, no mention of Me'Shell Ndegeocello for Plantation Lullabies (1993), Peace Beyond Passion (1996) and Bitter (1999) at least?
I mean, she should have totally been mentioned--she's one of the boldest, innovative, and most talented singer-songwriters alive, I think.
I mean, what, a fierce, black lesbian-identified bisexual butch dyke can't get her shine on in the list? really? Well, she's being added in MY version of the list! :)
Boo to OUT! :(
