The Ark is a Swedish glam rock band formed in 1991 by Ola Salo, Mikael Jepson, and Lasse “Leari” Ljungberg, when Ola Salo and Leari were only fourteen years old. Martin Axén officially joined the band in 1997, and Sylvester Schlegel in 1999. In late 2006, Jens Andersson joined The Ark as an official member. He had at that point played live with the band for several years.
Generally written in a collaborative effort by the band, the Ark’s lyrics are sometimes controversial. For example, the 2002 single “Father of a Son” is about homosexuals’ right to have children. In October 2006, the band and Ola Salo were criticized by members of the U.S. public for some controversial comments referring to the September 11, 2001 attacks that were apparently part of the joking banter between songs as the band performed at the opening festivities for the new Swedish embassy in Washington, D.C. [1] This was unfortunate timing, as the free concert was the kick off for the band’s U.S. tour.[1]
The Ark participated in the Swedish Melodifestivalen 2007 with the song “The Worrying Kind”, written by Ola Salo. The song won the contest after capturing both the popular vote and the jury’s vote. The song was Sweden’s Eurovision Song Contest 2007 entry, and is also included in The Ark’s fourth album Prayer for the Weekend, released in April 2007. Despite being a bookmaker favorite, they finished in 18th place (out of 24) with only 51 points, compared to winning Serbia’s 268 points.

Holy fuck. It's been one month since I really got into them and now they're #23 in my library. That means in one month I've listened to them more than tons of bands I listen to since I started my account on last.fm 3 years ago. MADNESS.

I still don't see what Ola's sexuality has to do with the music :P

We're not being homophobic you know. I just asked a question, a simple question, and recieved a simple (uncertain) answer. And as I see it, most people here are talking about the new album, rather than Ola's sexuality, meaning that "must" is a huge exaggeration. BTW, I love the old albums We Are The Ark and In Lust We Trust. All other albums are pretty... bad if you ask me. Go go the old, half-dark The Ark!

"Salo is openly bisexual." Well.... Gay power. It Takes a Fool to Remain Sane is the only good/great song by The Ark.
