Favorite GLBT singer/group?

[WillParkinson]

I like Romanovsky & Phillips (when they were still together)
I also like Pansy Division

You?

[Smarmie Doofus]

1. Almost none .

I do like some of "the girls": k.d. lang an Melissa Etheridge for instance.

But everybody likes them... don't they?

Does Tchaikovsky count?

[dipsydoodle]

2. Freddie Mercury without a doubt

followed by Elton John and George Michael.

Freddie & MJ - sound is a little bit muffled : think it's a bootleg. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdPb1Xw_qvI

[VWolf]

8. Yeah, Freddie Mercury without a doubt.

I also like Melissa Etheridge.

[dipsydoodle]

10. The other one

always reminds me of someone influenced by Janis Joplin and doing a poor imitation of Bonnie Tyler : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIup5g0nCQQ&feature=related

[Sebastian Doyle]

17. Yeah, that's definitely a boot.

If I remember correctly, Freddie recorded two songs with Michael. The other was "State of Shock", but neither of them were properly finished, and "State of Shock" eventually was re-recorded with Mick Jagger instead of Freddie.

Here's the original....... (also a boot)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9_BwMtPeWU

Mick's version was very close to Freddie's. You have to listen pretty close to notice the difference, actually.

36. This Video

While not actually GLBT (I don't think) the pro gay marriage/equal rights message at the end of this "religious" video I found to be inspiring. I will admit to being partial to non-discriminating deities. <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4cUdMeT8sQ>

[PassingTimeHere]

3. Elton John.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

4. Sir Elton

oh yeah!

[dipsydoodle]

5. Blimey

I'm english and even we don't call him Sir !

He's very good humoured too. This was for charity : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBkgCATMvRE

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

6. My respect for his music

and style is why I used the title.

[Bluenorthwest]

7. Elton saved my life one night...

so Reg takes the cake among the living. I am with other posters on that, and also from the past masters list, Freddie Mercury, who was the most amazing live performer I have ever seen. Elton also amazing live, I've seen him do 4 hours and more. Seen him solo, with orchestras, with bands, in tiny clubs and huge stadiums.
Those two guys were the spine of my teenaged life. And Bernie Taupin as well, for those words in Elton's songs. Those magic words. When I say Elton, I have to say Bernie. And when I say Freddie, I have to say Brian, John and Roger too.

[Starry Messenger]

9. Andy Bell from Erasure.

I got to see them on The Innocents tour. It was an amazing show.

[dipsydoodle]

12. Jimmy Somerville too

[rocktivity]

11. Rob Halford of Judas Priest, I guess

I say, "I guess" because so many hard rockers are still in the closet.

:headbang:

[dropkickpa]

18. Rob gets total props from me

He just gets better with age. JP kicks even more ass now than they did 20 years ago.

[Sandaasu]

30. Another vote for Rob. JP is simply awesome.

[SacredCow]

13. Many- for different reasons....

I like most of the women artists (Indigo Girls, Tegan & Sara, Melissa Etheridge, etc...)

As for the more poppy offerings- I enjoy the B-52s and the Scissor Sisters at times.

Elton John is classic, of course...

George Michael and Frankie Goes To Hollywood feed my 80's self...

I'd love to see Pansy Division live- they look like they put on an entertaining show.

Oh, and on edit- My favorite band during my formative years was undoubtedly The Smiths.

[LeftHander]

14. Namoli Brennet

http://namolibrennet.com

Transwoman singer songwriter from the SW. Saw her at Milwaukee PrideFest this spring. She has lots of great songs.

[Morning Dew]

21. thanks for that link - she's good. Nice to find new artists to listen to.

[queerart]

15. Not My Favorite Per Se......

But here are a couple groups that the music is fun.......



Give Head - Dirty Sanchez

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlWG-xEf4ns




RuPaul - Cover Girl (Put the Bass in Your Walk)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MK0d2P9Hbv4



Bimbo Boy - Drama Queen

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l62xIP_0LNM

[juno jones]

16. Scissor Sisters. n/t

[unhappycamper30]

19. I enjoy...

Gregory Douglass and Matt Alber.

[jcarterhero]

20. Freddie Mercury, No question

[Eryemil]

22. R.E.M, Sigur Rós, Scissor Sisters, Antony & the Johnsons, Rufus Wainwright, Sam Sparro n|t

[joeybee12]

25. I was wondering when one would say REM...and for that matter, Nirvana...

...if the rumors about Kurt Cobain and Michael Stipe are true.

[Sebastian Doyle]

41. Pretty sure they were just friends

but Kurt wouldn't give a shit about such rumors. He would have spread them himself, just to piss off all the homophobes back home in Aberdeen. (like the dressing in drag on the "In Bloom" video or kissing Dave Grohl on SNL.)

[lightningandsnow]

23. The Cliks!

Lovely people as well, I've "officially" met them three times, as well as running into the lead singer at Pride.

If you like energetic indie-rock, you'll love them.

http://www.myspace.com/thecliks

[qb]

24. Antony & the Johnsons

[closeupready]

26. Elton John and kd lang.

I was going to say Bonnie Raitt until I looked at her wiki and realized she is in a heterosexual relationship - I'd always thought she was bi, but doesn't appear to be so.

[Toasterlad]

27. Wow. No Indigo Girls? I'm Not Even a Lesbian and I Love Them.

However, my favorite all time song is Pansy Division's "Groovy Underwear".

[Oeditpus Rex]

28. The Ditty Bops

http://www.thedittybops.com/

They and their music are absolutely adorable. :)

Here's a photo I made of them when they were in Santa Cruz a couple years ago. They're coming back on the 26th. :bounce:

Oh — Amanda's dressed as a carrot and Abby as an artichoke. I've forgotten the exact reason for that, but they're very green. On this tour, they promoted non-use of plastic bags, and they did their prior tour on bicycles.





Also, they got married during Kollyforniya's "window." :D

[donheld]

29. David Bowie

[Fozzledick]

31. Stephin Merritt

The songwriter behind Magnetic Fields, The Sixths, Future Bible Heroes and The Gothic Archies.

[susanr516]

32. Elton John and Janis Ian n/t

[David Zephyr]

38. I love Janis.

.

[pup_ajax]

33. Well ...

All time is prolly Pansy Division.

Lately i'm really into Hunx & His Punx. ;)

[mockmonkey]

34. Martin Rossiter

From the (no longer exists) group "Gene".

I also enjoy Erasure and of course Morrissey and The Smiths.

[Laughing Mirror]

35. Loleatta Hollway (did I just out her?)

and the Pet Shop Boys.

[David Zephyr]

37. Too hard to choose. But push me to the wall: Elton John.

.

[gwashington2650]

39. Queen's Freddie Mercury

No contest.

[and-justice-for-all]

40. Judas Priest..nt
