| It is over. It was a bit boring. Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it. _________________ |

| Well, it was truly 5 stars up until the last couple of songs which let it down a bit, especially the last one. Still, overall great production, "unique" vocals and quirky lyrics. Back when being g*y was exciting. 4.5/5 Upgraded to 5/5 for voting! |

| The material was clearly a lot better before SAW got their grubby mitts on Divine.
The cool electro-rap and Euro-disco sounds were obviously earlier recordings. _________________ Disprove the return of a potato (5)

Upgraded to 5/5 for voting! When GRID became AIDS and took off like a rocket. Exciting times. |

| Oh, I'd forgotten about jerseyboi. Those were the days.
I'm just referencing a lot of older gay people who have spoken about actually enjoying the secrecy of it all - and the unique culture that brought with it.
It's like those who prefer the days when London and New York were dirty and dangerous rather than clean and gentrified. Interesting culture can come from bad scenarios. Most of the best songs come from torment, angst and repression. |
