Andy, I know you go to lots of concerts of many genres. Have you ever seen Sleater - Kinney? I knew nothing about them beforehand, and I caught one of their shows last night. These ladies still kick ass and they have fans that go nuts!
The thing is I'm not your standard conformist faggot who says "lets gets married and adopt a bunch of kids". Oh yuck. Fuck that. There's no point in being gay if you're gonna do that.
But still, if by some chance, as often happens, gay guys end up raising somebody's kids, it usually works out.
Oh jeez. No order, but I'll get close to 100 and with all the music I have, that's kind of the equivalent of a top ten. Then if I get a second wind, will add more.

[edit] Music and movies are wonderful sources of goodness, both of which have broader genres, and near infinite variations and combinations of theme, etc. I welcome anyone who happens upon something they like from me, to request anything that might share any aspect from broad to micro-similarities, or perhaps I should have started with if you have any odd musical itches, such as something that uses odd mixes of instruments, and varies their musical styles, with an emphasis on melancholy, feel free to ask away. Or Japanese hardcore punk, etc.
