Gen X 80s Top 100 Gay Pride Songs: From Clubfloor to Confession: Queer Power & Pleasure (Songs 60–41)

This week in the Gen X 80s Top 20 Countdown Vault, we’re back with Part 3 of our special Pride Month series: the Top 100 80s Gay Pride Songs.


We’re counting down tracks 60 through 41, and it’s a vibrant mix of bedroom anthems, club classics, and radio smashes that carried a generation through the shadows and into the light. From Cyndi Lauper and Grace Jones to Cher and Elton John, these songs didn’t just make us dance, they made us feel seen.


Tune in. Turn it up.


And let the music remind you: we’ve always been here, and we’re not going anywhere.
