Can somebody please specifically list which songs were Prince styled and which were W&L styled?

Cuz I was never able to tell and I'd like to settle this once and for all.

no, im not trying to say that..im thinking more along the lines of this being a really really subjective request and that you could possibly get 50 people posting with 50 different songs listed.

biggrin

but i'll say mountains, sometimes it snows in april, rasberry beret and around the world in a day sound to me heavily influenced by wendy and lisa.

and just for note: wendy commented that prince wrote all of rasberry beret by himself so im not saying these are songs that wendy and lisa collaborated on..just that their style was an influence.

Wrong. Kiss is a Prince one no doubt.

I already agree with dewalliz's post.

"Pop Life" might be more of a W&L song though. hmmm

Yes Prince wrote Raspberry Beret but the girls composed the strings for the song. Now, in your head, take out the strings and I think it's okay to say that the song is a Wendy and Lisaesque track.

I would also add Power Fantastic, No Light in a Large Room, In All My Dreams to the Wendy and Lisa list.
Prince may be the purple Yoda, but Wendy & Lisa and Eric Leeds also sit on the Jedi Council.

lol Well I would hope you would "know" about Power Fantastic since it was based on a song called Carousel that Lisa had composed. The piano in that song is haunting and knowing that they nailed it in one take is amazing.

I mean I never listen to it. I end the B-Sides disc after "How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore".
