I'd suggest fleshing out your collection with some of the following:

Johnny Cash
Garth Brooks
Led Zeppelin
Weird Al Yankovic
Soundgarden
T00L
Aerosmith
Bob Marley
Duke Ellington

Ok. So I'm looking for some new music that would appeal to my music tastes. I am very "patchy" when it comes to awareness of what is going out there at the moment, so assume that you can even recommend big hits/popular singers/bands to me, as well.

Styles: music going back 70s or 80s, glam rock, pop/popera, etc. Influences of Queen, ABBA, David Bowie, Elton John, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Pet Shop Boys. Anything outrageous and flamboyant.

Musicians/bands I enjoyed recently: Electric Six, Hercules and Love Affair, Levi Kreis, Rufus Wainwright, Scissor Sisters, Katy Perry, Alanis Morissette.

Right now thinking of maybe getting something by Mika.  :huh:

:barf:
I love you.

I wanna suck it to it though. :unsure:

A good variety.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

I am now listening to Grace Kelly on loop.

I didn't know these two songs were by the same artist.  :Embarrass:

It being last.fm lots of weirdness (it has guitars? OK, its similar to Lez Zepplin!) but some could work. Alphabeat are very Mikaesque. I'm not a fan but my sister who is into musicals and silly pop like Mika and all that is.

I'd suggest La Roux. Definitely over the top and actually lovely.

MGMT's Time to Pretend.  The gay Catechism should be up your alley at least.  And the guy kind of looks like a young Malcolm McDowell.

Thanks, Spellus. It's not exactly what I've been looking for but I like the beat.

She seems more Lady Gaga than Mika or Scissor Sisters (more electronic 80s than glam 70s) but nice nonetheless. Will check her out.

Yes, La Roux (duo) is electronic 80s.
