Last night Rufus Wainwright performed on BBC television.
Are there any Rufus Wainwright fans on this site ?
Which CD's or songs are his best according to you ?
Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk and Poses are my two favourite choons I think.
Where's the debate?

I thought I'd better post this thread in Debates forum. You never know these days ..... 😉
I only recently heard a couple of his songs and they struck me as being highly original, appealing and fascinating. His music is far from being middle of the road and it seems to me that he is a big big talent. His voice has something that is hard to describe. It expresses a certain longing, a feeling, you can also find in the Portuguese fado songs. The Portuguese call it "saudade". Maybe we can translate it as "nostalgia".

I love the way his songs don't follow the predefined rules of verse, chorus, verse, chorus, verse, bridge, verse, chorus, and that his songs just keep going to match the strength and requirements of his lyrics.

I only have a few tracks
Get out of Town..... sort of old fashioned & very melancholic
Across the Universe with Sean Lennon ... he certainly stamps his style on that.. great track.
and Ain't Nobody - He is somebody and left me wanting to know a bit more.
