Very nice play list. I would remove Cher “Strong Enough” .

Only number 6 ?

I´d think Go West is gayer than Dancing Queen.

Yes it is, but is PSB's version more gay than Village People's original? Maybe they just didn't want to songs by the same group in the top 10...

Dolly Parton "9 to 5" - in what way is this song gay?!?

Hmm.. all i can see is a list of great songs

What kind of gay list doesn't include any Divine songs?

Still, one cannot help but be struck by the irony that most of these tracks are by straight artists.

38. Kym Mazelle “Young Hearts Run Free”

Even if she sang it, it was only a cover. What's wrong with Candy Staton's version?

And there were many songs omitted - I only had a quick look, but I didn't see So Many Men So Little Time, Searching, a lot of high NRG songs. I could go on.

Oh yeeeeeess!!!!

This list is absolutely great! The Top 8 are all fabulous songs, among my biggest favourites! If these songs are gay, well then I really like "gay" music. Finally a good playlist.

It is, but "Dancing queen" is maybe a bit more popular nowadays, that's why it's on top.

Janet Street-Porter · Thu 06 Mar 2008, 8:25 pm

I love Divine... Hard Magic is the best song on the Maid In England album.

Have to say- I am definitely a fan of pretty much all of that top 50.

I not a fan of the song too much but I must have seen the movie 9 to 5 around 30 times.

I still don't get what "Summer Rain" is doing on that list - I fail to see the gay connection. Great song, though.
