I found a KD lang cd in my mother's collection once and found it rather boring, I liked it though, it just wasn't anything special.
Ani DiFranco is genius! Don't know what else to say, pure genius! I saw her in concert once and she rocked! I love her music and her lyrics.
Melissa Etheridge - my favorite lesbian musician! She's great. I remember the first Melissa album I bought was Little Secret. I was like nine and had never heard of her, my mother wanted the cd for her birthday. I asked her to write it down and then I practiced the name over and over again until I could say it. Etheridge is not easy let me tell you! But I was so proud that I could pronounce it correctly when I asked for it in the store (I was so brave :lol
A couple years ago I saw Melissa live and she was soooo great. She's so cute and she ROCKS! I was standing second row and I when she came down to the barrier between stage and crowd she looked directly into my eyes. I was in heaven.
Other gay singers I love include Sarah Bettens, who I loved when she was with her band K's Choice and who I admired even more for her solo album. I went to see her last year (I think)
Then there's Linda Perry, who is soo cool and has such a powerful voice. Love, love, love her!
Hmm...who else? Catie Curtis, very soulful artist. Indigo Girls, Alex Parks (love her soft yet rough voice), JenRo (although rap is usually not my thing, I really like some of her stuff) Joan Jett, Tegan and Sara (genius) (and cute)...
I probably forgot some but those are the most important ones.
Oh and I didn't include bi people like X-tina, Madonna, Pink and the likes...
