To celebrate our 15th Birthday, members of the DiS team highlight a record from DiS lifetime that they feel was overlooked.
These are personal picks, and we kept the definition of lost very loose. Some chose under-appreciated albums from reasonably well-known acts. Others went for exceptional records in niche genres.

What started out as a friendly recommendation from a trusted source, quickly turned into regular nagging and, latterly, reproaches as I repeatedly forgot to listen to the New Look album. When I finally did - about four months after its release - I approached the task with a needlessly petulant go on then, impress me attitude. The point of all this is not that I don’t like being nagg
These days, with more and more public figures coming forward about their sexuality, it was only a matter of time that we here at TheBacklot.com put together a list of the most influential and intriguing openly gay and bisexual male musicians of the past century. Compiling a list like this was no small feat.
While we’ve limited this to only 50 musicians, the number of openly gay artists far surpasses that number, and we’re sure you will likely spot an artist near and dear to your heart that we left out. Trust us that it was not done in malice. We simply tried to assemble a list of those artists we feel have been both successful in their careers while also raising awareness toward gay rights issues and giving back to the community in which they belong.
