Depite being gay and having a lot of great (I think) music, I don&#8217;t have many of these albums&#8230; (not that I&#8217;m surprised).<\/p>\n<p>Since you care, I have:<br \/>\n08. Madonna, <i>The Immaculate Collection<\/i>, 1990<br \/>\n26. Scissor Sisters, <i>Scissor Sisters<\/i>, 2004<br \/>\n31. Sarah McLachlan, <i>Fumbling Towards Ecstacy<\/i>, 1993<br \/>\n36. Madonna, <i>Erotica<\/i>, 1992<br \/>\n37. Blondie, <i>Parallel Lines<\/i>, 1978<br \/>\n45. Bikini Kill, <i>Pussy Whipped<\/i>, 1993 (well, I used to have this in high school&#8230;)<br \/>\n46. Madonna, <i>Ray of Light<\/i>, 1998<br \/>\n49 .Patti Smith, <i>Horses<\/i>, 1975<br \/>\n54. Tori Amos, <i>Little Earthquakes<\/i>, 1992<br \/>\n58. Liz Phair, <i>Exile in Guyville<\/i>, 1993<br \/>\n61. Sleater-Kinney, <i>Dig Me Out<\/i>, 1997<br \/>\n63. Bj\u00f6rk, <i>Debut<\/i>, 1993<br \/>\n65. Le Tigre, <i>Le Tigre<\/i>, 1999<br \/>\n66. Soft Cell, <i>Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret<\/i>, 1981<br \/>\n68. Nirvana, <i>Nevermind<\/i>, 1991<br \/>\n77. New Order, <i>Substance<\/i>, 1987<br \/>\n81. Scissor Sisters, <i>Ta-Dah<\/i>, 2006<br \/>\n87. Madonna, <i>Confessions on a Dance Floor<\/i>, 2005<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not sure how much I agree with this list&#8230; it misses a lot of electronic and dance music, if you ask me. For example, I would also add some Depeche Mode, maybe the recent Hercules and Love Affair album, French gay-sounding house music like Bob Sinclar or David Guetta. But I guess the list goes for gay-themed music, not necessarily &#8220;music gays would dance to.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The biggest exclusion, if you ask me, is Missy Elliott&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Miss_E%E2%80%A6_So_Addictive\"><i>Miss E&#8230; So Addictive<\/i><\/a>. Ever since I first heard it I immediately thought it was her attempt at reaching out to gays. The album is all about clubs and dancing and sex and drugs. Totally gay, if you ask me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I intended to post this a loooong time ago but while writing it my computer crashed and I didn&#8217;t realize that the new version of WordPress saved drafts!
