Add your name to this Hall of Fame

It's time to give this countdown to Gay Xmas a bit of a nostalgia kick, with the extraordinary talent that is Mr Holly Johnson!

Despite the best efforts of Mr O'Dowd or Mr Somerville to break the apathy of the 1980s music industry towards gay rights and gay singers, it was in fact the ground-breaking scandal of Mr Johnson (with Frankie Goes To Hollywood's Relax) that rubbed the smug establishment's noses in it and paved the way for explicit gayness to be aired in the UK...

Here's his solo magnum opus, which pushed the gay buttons to their fullest extent:
