Prince Yay or Nay?

[Houston]

Anyone ever listen to him now or did back in the day?

When Doves Cry goes is easily a top 20 song of all time for me.

Little Red Corvette is also one of my favorite songs of all time.

 

[CCBrink]

My mom has all his CD's. I don't really go out of my way to listen to him, but he is pretty good.

 

[Houston]

He's one of those artist for me where his average song I don't like. It's just weird cause he happens to have 2 or 3 songs that happen to be some of my favorites out. A whole Prince CD would be nowhere near my favorite CD's list though.

 

[Sharkweather]

My mom is a big fan, I've never really sat down and gone out of my way to listen to him though.

 

[Houston]

lulz at your moms liking him.



























mines does too:shifty:

 

[Herm]

same as most of you, my mom is a big fan. I wouldnt buy a cd of his but i cant act like i dont jam out when his hits are on the radio.

 

[dave]

Yay.
Prince is the shiznit.
Purple Rain and Lovesexy my fav Prince discs.
I am one of the five people who own his three-disc Emancipation collection.

That man has been with more woman than I have.

 

[SHOGUN]

Fuck yes. Prince's music is incredible. Most of his recent albums have been solid listens as well.

Darling Nikki
Purple Rain
I Would Die For You
Little Red Corvette

Most 13 year olds have been with more women than you have.

 

[dave]

Most 13 year olds have been with more women than you have.

And you've been with more 13-year-olds than most men have. What's your point?

I like my girls like I like my whine. 12 years old and mixed up with coke.

[dope]

prince has been with more women than probably all of vsn

"The Kid" is one of my fave artists actually and his "black album" is one his best works even though he hated it

 

[KINGOFOOTBALL]

Im surprised JeffX isnt all over this one.

 

[dell71]

Definite yay. One of the best & most influential American artists of all time, imho.

Purple Rain, easy top 5 album of all time for me.

1999, Sign O' the Times, Diamonds & Pearls & the Batman soundtrack are some of my faves as well.

Way too many songs to list, but "When Doves Cry" is my fave of his.

Fuck all of you for making me feel old with this "my mom is a fan of his" business.

Prince was the shit before he hit it big with '1999', and later 'Purple Rain'. Back then he was was like a underground cult figure. Folks didn't know what to make of him - dude would come out dressed in thigh-high stockings and boots, but he tore shit up on the guitar. Y'all should check out his earlier LPs. He doesn't get the recognition he should from the rock & roll community. Dude can play just about anything - rock, metal, funk, soul, pop, you name it.

For You(1978)
Prince(1979)
Dirty Mind(1980)
Controversy(1981)

...and of course he wrote, perfomed, and produced all The Time LPs. He wrote stuff for Vanity 6, Sheila E., Sheena Easton, The Bangles('Manic Monday'), Sinead O'Connor, etc., etc., etc. So many artists have said Prince was a big influence on them(Alicia Keys did one of his songs on her first CD).

If you want some hard-hitting Prince-funk, listen to the 'Black Album'.
