If you could sit down and have a good old chat with Prince, which other musical artists would you like to get his true thoughts on? For me, I'd like to know his opinion of Pink Floyd and Morrisey.

the the

big audio dynamite

paul weller

george michael

pink floyd

rem

radiohead

the bay city rollers

Sylvester

George Benson

Chic

Depeche Mode

Kraftwerk

Curtis Mayfield

Donna Summer

gary glitter

I'd rather go through his record collection, just go back and forth talking about favorite songs, and of course putting some of his songs on from different periods in his career. Look for the most beat up copies because odds are they're the ones that had a lot of influence on him.

Todd Rundgren

Shuggie Otis

MJ

Eddie Hazel

Rick James

Noooooooo...

Prince would immidiately walk out of the room when/ if Gare Glitter was mentioned..

No one wanna hear about Gary Glitter after he made a "Michael Jackson"....

I guess that's your point in mentioning G Glitter here, right?

Interesting....love The The, & B.A.D.

I would hope that he finds Pink Floyd, R.E.M., & Radiohead plodding, dull, dinosaur-rock.

As for Paul Weller, can't stand that miserable so-and-so. I loved The Style Council though.

Tempting as it is to come up with a list, I fear Prince would just find some way to twist it into a conversation about religion. Love to be proven wrong, though.

not really a conversation I'd want to have with Prince

Well he must like Morrisey because the two have recorded together according to rumor. That was a while back (early 90's?)
