According to a wide spectrum of gay music experts quizzed by Out Magazine, these are the top 100 gayest albums of all time.  To compile this Top 100 Gayest Albums of All Time, Out Magazine polled more than 100 actors, comedians, musicians, writers, critics, performance artists, label reps, and DJs, asking each to list the 10 albums that left the most indelible impressions on their lives. Out writes in this new report that "After receiving responses from Boy George, Rufus Wainwright, Cyndi Lauper, the Indigo Girls’ Amy Ray, Candis Cayne, Perez Hilton, Nate Berkus, Jake Shears, John Cameron Mitchell, Wilson Cruz, Justin Bond, Darren Hayes, Junior Vasquez, Bruce Vilanch, Janis Ian, the Cliks, Ari Gold, Holly Johnson, and a slew of others, we tallied the results to determine our top-100 list." 

Last night (10/19) I went to check out Z-Trip, who sold out Studio B in Brooklyn during busy CMJ week, and the DJ totally rocked it. As with his San Francisco concert a couple of months back at the Independent he again broke out the drum kit and between DJ'ing played some mean drums on the full drum kit - with a set,  in the true Z-Trip tradition, that was as much (if not more) classic rock than  hip-hop  including his  ever popular rendition of Rush's Tom Sawyer remix (included on the recent Z-Trip All Pro Soundtrack- Decon) .

But the classic rock track that Z-Trip dug up and remixed live for the energetic twenty-something crowd that got everyone going the most crazy was Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody  - which got everyone going audibly wild to the point that it was like he was breaking out the hottest new record of the moment ; amazing considering the Freddie Mercury-penned song was released (on the 1975 album A Night At The Opera) before most in the house were even born.  Of course the song never really went away - constantly popping up in pop culture including back in the 90's in Wayne's World and on jukeboxes and radio stations to this day. 

Bohemian Rhapsody is a truly brilliant piece of music: one that can transcend time and genres and always remain fresh sounding - even if it is the Manualist doing his (fart sounding) microphone rigged sweaty-hand version (below along with Waynes World plus  an a capella rendition by the UC Men's Octet.
