Prince is over rated imo

You're very philosophical for a Friday afternoon Niamh.

:laugh:

Naa... Aretha and Prince both deserved top 10 imo :fan:

Queen, Sinatra and ABBA should all be top ten

:dance::dance:

Shamir Bailey still in the running :clap1:

:fist::fist:

:joker::joker::joker:

That really high pitched -ness of his voice just sounds screechy to me [emoji23] sorry

Pearl Jam to take the top spot :hee:

Honestly this tea Alf :clap1:

Ok thats fair enough but theres a bit more to him than that. There have been few artists who could play every instrument on a whole album but Prince is one of the few. I think he played more than a dozen instruments on the 'Sign o the times' album and did indeed play all the instruments on one of his many proteges albums. I think it may be the Times album. I agree that screech was horrendous but he was undoubtedly one of the best songwriters of his generation, an underrated guitarist and for me the thing he did more than anything else was the way he fused funk/RnB with Rock like no other artists I have ever come across. Prince was one of the few who actually lived up to the tag of genius.

This is just so wrong...oh Niamh :facepalm:

...so many great music artists, Alf...Nina Simone..:lovedup:...and David Bowie I reckon you're saving until the end...:laugh:...also Joni Mitchell/did you post her yet..?...she's worth the wait so no big hurry there..the single digit thing is soon enough.../great going though sir...:love:...

...Eva Cassidy also..:lovedup:...if we don't see her then I'm going to eat all of the nice chocolates out of the box I was going to give you for Christmas and that means the orange cream as well...

I like some of his stuff, Purple Rain I love but he's just not my cup of tea for the main

How can it be wrong if it's how it sounds to me? :suspect:
