No no critic ever said that because that's insane. ONE goofball critic did say that Manic Monday by the bangles sounded like Monday Monday, but I'm guessing that's because both have Monday in the name. But 1999 is about the funkiest urban album Prince ever released. DMSR alone! destroys any argument of that. But please! Please post a link to a critic saying 1999 sounds like The Mamas And The Papas! I'll apologize and everything. | |

He was always his own man and I always got to give him props for always doing his thing regardless what anyone thought or said. | |

naw, it's ok, it's the net, and maybe the critic was wrong in what he said. it could only be a guess and I doubt prince verified it with him. Truth is, i've always gotten some contradictory info regarding prince, reading that he grew up on white 60's and 70's radio but then other people say he only got into the beatles and led zeppelin after W&L came along, pity prince didn't get his memoir done, i'm sure a lot of things would have been clearer. | |

And also let's remember that all artists are influenced by each other. No one lives in a vacuum. Little Richard and Chuck Berry influenced a lot of people, they were among the founders of rock and pop. And blues and folk music goes ever farther. So for anyone to try and say that it was the 90's that he finally embraced "black" music is fundamentally insane in my opinion. | |
