Does anyone know who he digs? What genres, artists, etc?

Probably everybody in a way. Prince knows that to express yourself through music is the greatest thing the world has to experience. Everyone loves Music, even if we can't make it.

Over the years he's made numerous mentions of those whose music he admires, listens to and enjoys, often citing them in interviews, namechecking in song lyrics and performing covers.

TLC is his favourite band. He said so on the MTV music awards during his Rave Un2 days.

TLC
GCS
Sade
and Yanni.

Lil Wayne, Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers.
Oh yah, Young Jeezy as well has top spot in his cd player.

Don't forget to mention Camp Rock soundtrack!

James Brown, George Clinton, Public Enemy, Sly & The Family Stone, Santana etc. Should be obvious I think.

Oh yah, I forgot about the High School Musical soundtrack, that he is so fond of.

Sade,

maybe Katie Melua, cuz he sang one of her songs in London 2007, and she was at the show in Koko's wasn't she? Correct if I'm wrong..

Esperanda Spalding

I wonder if he listens to classical to relax, or heavy metal when he's pissed, or country when he's sad

Joni Mitchell, T Rex, Beatles Earth Wind and......

Maybe he listens to Boyz II Men.

young artists who get down on their knees and kiss his ass in interviews and old soul/funk acts that are no competition that he can appropriate into his stage show to gain some old school cred.


that's the kind of music prince listens to.
