if you were going to make a queer punk/queercore primer mix for someone who was completely unfamiliar with the genre, what essential songs would need to go on it? i mean the songs you'd absolutely need to hear to get a sense of what queercore is about.

a lot of my problem is not knowing what song to use, but here's a list of bands so far:

team dresch (fagetarian & dyke? growing up in springfield?)
huggybear (herjazz?)
the third sex (definition? roy? love in the basement?)
los crudos
bikini kill (rebel girl? suck my left one?)
pansy division
spitboy (in tradition?)
s-k (a real man? call the doctor? joey ramone?)
fifth column
god is my co-pilot (i'm pretty sure i'm using queer disco anthem)
the need (rim me isabella?)
heavens to betsy (she's the one? or maybe i'm just partial to that song)
tribe 8
longstocking
behead the prophet nlsl

i was also thinking of that cwa song "only straight girls wear dresses." anyway, suggest songs for above bands or suggest songs by other bands. thanks.

hey ...

i've never heard any of this genre of music either. would it be too much to ask for a copy when you're done? i'll cover with blank cd's or tapes or whatever.

yay! it's weird 'cause everyone thinks i went through riot grrl or queer punk music and i think it's more of a guilt-by-association thing (since most of my friends have). i was never cool enough to be piped into that stuff. my teenage years were all about michael jackson and hair metal :) so it'd be nice to get a "greatest hits" of what everyone's talking about.
