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.

definitely "asskickatron" by fagatron, it's so so good. i second godco "i hate my friends" or better yet "my bicycle gang" or "certain snails" ("when 2 x-zygotes get 2gether / the result is always female" = hilarious). also what about, like, the gossip "swing low"? or is that not queercore, but just, like, gay? if you're want super gay-ass music that is not punk rock, i highly recommend of montreal ("my favorite boxer," "when a man is in love with a man") and that field mice song "this love is not wrong."
post the tracklist when it's done.

p.s. the chicago women's liberation rock band.

i don't know fagatron but god, people keep talking about them. i'm looking for mp3s or something.

i might put some plain ol' gay music on but it depends on how much room i have. if so i also want to add something by stephin merritt, & phranc's bulldagger swagger. heh. i'll post a tracklist, yes.
