Lesbian Favorites: Women Like Us

Editorial reviews

Amazon.com
No less a suspect pop-culture authority than Howard Stern has repeatedly proclaimed that "everyone loves lesbians!" But what do lesbians love? Rhino Records boldly claims to know the musical answer to that question on this richly eclectic collection of female artists compiled for a lesbian audience. And if that's a bold--if readily transparent--marketing move, it shouldn't distract one from the charms of this cross-genre compilation. The songs here run the gamut from acoustic angst (Ani DiFranco) to pop (Wendy and Lisa, Jill Sobule), MOR (Taylor Dayne), folk (Two Nice Girls), and dance (Fem 2 Fem). k.d. lang contributes "Just Keep Me Moving," while cult fave Phranc gives Herman's Hermits hoary "Mrs. Brown You've Got a Lovely Daughter" a new slant. The emotions range from intense eroticism (particularly Janis Ian's sultry "Ride Me Like a Wave") to the steely pragmatism of Sandra Bernhard's remake of Paul Simon's "Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover." -Jerry McCulley

Not My Favorite
Sorry, but all the songs sound alike. One song even sounds like they were trying to copy Madonna. I really did not like the CD. Nothing aganist Lesbians.

THIS IS A GREAT CD
i love this cd. has some of the best songs ever made for lesbians...hence the title. best song on the whole album is the last one...spent my last ten dollars on birth control and beer. that is one of the funniest songs ive ever heard. you gotta hear it. other great ones are i'll be your shelter,(sing it to my lover all the time) in or out, i kissed a girl, etc. but i think it should have had other really great ones like "perfect by doria roberts" "constant craving" kd lang "drive" by melissa ferrick...so many others i didnt mention but are much better than some of the songs on here. oh well...hopefully theyll have a volume two and well see those songs. if youre a lesbian then buy this album you need it. its really good.

HORRIBLE
This is a horrible CD! It was like nails on a chalkboard listening to it then I finally had enough and took it out of my player and threw it away.

There may have been 3 songs on this CD that were actually OK, but the rest of it were these obscure songs that came from under a rock somewhere.
