“They took the risk before there was a market to absorb it.”— PrideShow Editorial Board

Love Sick matters historically because it preceded the commercial machinery that followed. It was made without the international distribution, fan economy or production pipeline that now surround the genre, which makes the decision to make it — and to appear in it — a different kind of choice from participating in an established category.
Sixth at 81 points. The performers from that period occupy a specific place in this ranking: they took the risk before there was a market to absorb it.
