    Do you have Want One? That's quite good too.

    I haven't picked up the newest one yet, but probably will this week.

    He is so openly gay and fairly like that you would think that he would produce music of such affinity but he doesn't and the music I've heard from him is very good.

    I have all but the new one and if you like Want Two and Poses you should find things to like on the others. Will also pick up the new one in due course.

    Seen him in concert once as well ... and would definitely see him again.
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

    what the hell? are you suggesting that gay people shouldnt be able to make good music? if you think his sexuality hasn't pervaded into his music, listen to gay messiah.

    What I was referring to was that it would suggest that he open gayness he could be making such music like Scissor sisters but he actually makes some great music.

    We caught his performance locally on Saturday in Bryn Mawr, PA at Borders- he's wonderful in person- such amazing tone and clarity. His new album is solid and worth a pick up- Poses is my favorite- cigarettes and chocolate milk...

    Actually, I was turned on to him via an Eddie graced disk- I received the "I am Sam" soundtrack and Rufus has some great songs on there...
    got a car...got some gas...oh let's get out of here-get out of here fast...
    I hope you get this message but your not home...I will be there in just a minute or so...
    I want to go but I want to go with you.

    I've had enough, said enough, felt enough. I'm fine, still in it.

    That's right, I forgot he was on "I Am Sam". Good stuff!

    I've seen him a number of times and I concur - he's really good live, go see him if you get the chance.

    Yeah, his "Across the Universe" is incredible.

    I don't normally agree with anything Elton John says but i have to concur with him in the opinion that "I Dont Know What It Is" is an amazing song.

    Thats what got me onto Rufus and Ive never looked back.

    New albums cool too!

    want two was pure garbage
    poses is his TEN
    want one was good if uneven

    anyone have his new one? not a fan of the single but love RW.

    it seems he hasnt had a coherent album since poses where ever song is great.
    Let's not be negative now. Thumper has spoken

    I'm having a Rufus Wainwright moment. Listening to Want 1 & 2 over and over. Have yet to catch him live. He's been over here some times, but I have missed out so far.
