Sure the world wide web is great, but you, you make us salivate... Yes, we love technology, but not as much as you, you see... But we STILL love technology... Always and forever. Our love is like a flock of doves, flying up to heaven above... always and forever, always and forever... Why do you need us? Why do you love us? Always and forever...

05. George Michael - Older
04. Kylie Minogue - Light Years
03. Morrissey - Vauxhall & I
02. Abba - Arrival
01. Scissor Sisters - Scissor Sisters

I can't really comment on half this list. However i do own most of the rest and i'm not sure how Hard Core by L'il Kim can be considered gay when musically it's the un-campest rap ever and lyrically it involves Kim being eaten out by various gents in virtually every song. Plus i wish people would listen to Abba for the songcraft rather than just the album that happens to contain Dancing Queen. Guitly should have been a lot higher and where the hell is A1?!

Love the angle of that Times article. "Beatles liked by gays shocker!"

I own 2 records on that list - Suede and Want One.

I'm off to reassess my personal motivations.

I think the Stones are gayer than the Beatles.

OK, maybe i don't own half. between us me & tash have 15, plus a copy of girls aloud. Still think some of these choices are highly questionable.
