Scissor Sisters

New York cult phenomenon Scissor Sisters became U.K. superstars with their brash, stylish, sexy blend of glam, disco, and ’70s pop. Not only did they storm the charts with Elton John-inspired piano-poppers like “Take Your Mama” and “Land of a Thousand Words,” but they also earned the admiration of Sir Elton himself, whose pen and piano help push the Sisters’ Saturday Night Fever fantasies forward on the Bee Gees-like disco dynamo “I Don’t Feel Like Dancin’.” Only Jake Shears, Babydaddy, Ana Matronic, and company could bring a hot-stepping, disco-ball bounce to Pink Floyd’s classic-rock stomper “Comfortably Numb” and then turn out their own readymade club classic with “Sex and Violence,” channeling the plugged-in electro-dance flow of Donna Summer’s synth-slathered “I Feel Love” — the extended mix. But whether you love the club-friendly feel of their dance smashes or the glorious, glittering glam-rock of Bowie-tinged tunes like “Laura,” we’ve got a non-stop Scissor Sisters party starting right here and now.
