Pride Weekend in the Twin Cities has arrived, and it’s going to be a busy one. (Check out all of our weekend programming right here.) To kick things off, we’re turning the volume up on some rock music that represents the LGBTQ+ community. Help us create a raucous set of anthems to send us into the weekend ahead.

For today’s 9:30 Coffee Break, which rock songs celebrating the spirit of Pride should we play?
