Rufus Wainwright

[MabelStark]

Heard a Rufus Wainwright song on R2 the other day and addddddore his voice ( recognised from Antony and the Johnsons track) Looked on Amazon and did not realise he had so much output - can anyone guide me as to which album to buy? Thanks

ok, never heard of him, now you've got me being all nosey so I've got to waste more time look on youtube

I am obsessed with Rufus.
had not really heard of him till a friend took me to one of his concerts 5 years ago. I was swept away.

Get whichever album has "vibrate " on it.
"Want one" I think

I even waited to meet him backstage

Just checked my discs.
WOUld def recommend Want One as your first purchase

Definitely Want One. And then Want Two. Absolutely gorgeous.

I've only got Release The Stars, but I love it so much I am going to start getting all his other ones too. The man is an absolute genius. My favourite song is Going to a Town - jst brilliant.

Here's one for the mums - Beautiful Child

i like you either love or hate him, his voice really does make me wince

Grizzly - Going to a Town is THE song that I heard on the radio, think will invest in Want One and Release the Stars. Thanks all

I heart Rufus, I really do, and have seen him live about six times, but I just cannot listen to his music at home (or anywhere else for that matter), his stuff is something I can only really enjpoy live.

He is a performer really, not a singer.

Cracking pair of legs too

Want One and Want Two are the albums to have.

I love Rufus too.

I heart rufus-have got release the stars-love it.This thread has reminded me to listen to it again

Get the Rufus does Judy live album too, it's fab! Though, to be fair, everything Rufus does is fab. (I'm a bit of a stalker, seen him live 11 times)
Want One is the best album to start with, not a bad track on it.
