-Musical theatre, divas, and “torch songs” I love "Feeling Good" which everyone covers, so everyone forgets it's from a musical.
-Holiday season I'd probably do Gordon Lightfoot's "Song for a Winter's Night"
-Sex-positive music
-Music that encourages social reform Bob Marley's "Emancipation Song" is always a favourite.
-Celebrating the ‘70s Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" came out in 1975. Favourite song ever.
-Celebrating the ‘80s Cyndi Lauper! She Bop! ^_^
-Honoring Canadian singers/songwriters Mr.Cohen, Sarah McLaughlin, Alanis Morissette, k.d.lang, BTO, Neil Young, Tegan and Sara, and a bajillion other lovely indie artists could work.
-British Pop and World Beats Here you go, Beatles! Turtles! David Bowie!
-Songs by openly-queer singers/songwriters The Cliks, Rae Spoon, k.d. lang, David Bowie, Amanda Palmer, REM, Tegan and Sara, etc etc etc
