Stephen Merritt makes the best gay music. I enjoy it more than Final Fantasy, The Smiths, Queen and some bits of Bowie. P.S. I am not a gay. My favouritest Magnetic Fields songs in alphabetical order are All My Little Words Asleep and Dreaming Epitaph for my heart I thought you were my boyfriend If You Don't Cry No One Will Ever Love You Sweet-Lovin' Man and that train song. He plays a lot of different instruments and makes heavy use of guest vocalists. Songs like I Thought You Were My Boyfriend, If You Don't Cry, No One Will Ever Love You and that train song make heavy use of electronic candy. Anyway, I recommend them/him and these songs are probably a good start. I wouldn't mind knowing the favourite songs of others as well. |

Most of his music is actually about heterosexual relationships. |

I rarely make it past the first half of the first disc of 69 Love songs, I just skip around my favorites, but Charm of the Highway Strip is one of the greatest albums I've ever heard, airtight pop songwriting clinic. Favorites would be Two Characters in Search of a Country Song, Born on a Train, Fear of Trains, Long Vermont Roads. |

My girlfriend loves Magnetic Fields. I think it's nice. Very dreamy and melodic. I know she bought 69 love songs but I haven't heard that one yet. We've been listening to 'holiday' and I think it's delicious. |

I really like "Get Lost" especially the songs "Smoke and Mirrors" and "The Village in the Morning". I heard some of 69 Love Songs but I was put off really by the fact that there were so many songs and the ones I heard I wasn't immediately enamoured with. I also like his side project Future Bible Heroes, though "Memories of Love" ("Blond Adonis", "Real Summer", "Memories of Love") I find is better than "Eternal Youth" because again it's more concise, every song is great, and he sings every other track whereas the second album he barely takes vocal duties at all. |

So do I. I'm not gay, neither is he, neither is obara? When I heard the name of this band, I thought "hmm, maybe something Jarre influenced?". Whatever I listened to of their's was shit. Please don't make a joke about this. |

i've really gotten into this band, especially the earlier albums. 69 love songs is okay, but very hit and miss, imhotep. some really funny cynical romantic tunes on there, 'how fucking romantic' being a prime example. but, 'get lost', 'holiday' and 'the house of tomorrow' (ep) are the ones i prefer. songs i really like (from the top of my head): deep sea diving suite, swinging london, famous, smoke and mirrors (!!), love is lighter than air, desert island, in my secret place, young and insane, desperate things you make me do, village in the morning...etc...i'll probably end up listing all the songs from these albums, though there are a few which don't really do it for me. i don't see how it sounds particularly gay, the songs are just done by a man, who happens to be gay and sings some love songs about boys, that doesn't make it exclusively gay, you know. |

I have a gay old time listening to The Magnetic Fields. ^_^ Still a staple on my MP3 player during this summer's strolls. |
