any of u out there have any brothers or sisters who also like prince? just a thought that came 2 me 2night cause my sister listens 2 him also and she's 12 hmmm I wonder why could it b cause I listen 2 him alot well anyway I just was wondering

I have a half-brother who so does not like Prince. So, I play Prince as often as I can whenever he is around.

my brother hates Prince. but he's 19, and likes stuff like Nelly, Creed, Eminem, Limp Bizkut, and the like.


my sister went with orger chocolate and I to the NPS show. she said she really liked it

My older brother, Sean, is 28. And listens to Prince, and actually got me started on listening to Prince. My sister-in-law also listens to Prince, and we do the concert thing together 'n stuff. It's about the only thing we all three agree on musically...

My brother likes Prince too.

Yup. My brother is Moonbeam. I'm a lucky brother. We've always been into Prince.

nope im an only brat

My sister does. And also my 3 kids (present and future fans of P.).

BattierBeMyDaddy said:

Yeah, some kangaroos like Prince I suppose.

bkw said:

But does your brother?

My sisters suck. They don't like Prince but they are content listening to Linkin Park together and discussing the 'genius' of their music.

BattierBeMyDaddy said:

Yes, I alreadt told you he likes Prince.

kids today...no taste! but it also makes me feel old when i say that.

My sister loves Prince as much as I do, but she thinks I'm a little obsessive, checking out P websites...
My brother likes Prince but in the way that one musician admires another, he only owns two cds!

Both my sisters (and mom for that matter) like Prince. Of course, they like Prince up to about Lovesexy time. My oldest sister actually took me to the Lovesexy show in '88 since I was still too young to get there on my own!

They were both older than me and basically showed me the ropes. I was in 2nd grade singing along to Dirty Mind and Controversy and the like, wheee!

They all think I'm crazy now, but it's cool. We all still sing "Sister" to drive my mom crazy.

My sister who is 16 likes some of Princes songs but she is
not into him as much as I am...she is sill stuck in the
Backstreet Boys and N'Sync stage, so I figure she will come
around one day soon.

Me too... it has it's advantages and disadvantages...

But I'm not a brat... I promise

My brother used to give me a hard time for listening to Prince. No one around me liked him. Even among my friends, I was the only person who really liked Prince's music. I was constantly taunted about it. Evenso, each day after school, I'd open all the windows and doors in my house and blast Prince's music -- from Dirty Mind to Purple Rain, and all the b-sides, extended versions, remixes, etc. When my brother got home, he'd yell "Turn that *** off!!"

Now my brother looks up to me since I've done very well with my life. He sees me as intelligent, and he's told me that when he talks to his friends about me, one of the ways he tells them how smart I am is that he tells them I listen to Prince and have "followed" Prince since I was very young when no one else did. "Oh yeah? Prince. Man, that guy's a genius!" "Heck yeah, he can play all kinds of music -- the man knows how to jam!!"

Sorry to hear about some of you others, but my brother respects me for having always appreciated Prince's genius.

Not as lucky as I am for having a brother wise enough to expose me to what was good...

Diva said:

Sure you're not Diva.

bkw said:

Only children get a bad wrap!

Diva said:

this is true..but cant say im not a brat still tho' eheh

Christopher said:

hehe... well I'm sure you're an endearing sweet brat then!

And I guess with a name like Diva, I must of had my bratty moments eh?! We all have our moments... whether we have siblings or not!

One of my older sisters is the first person that exposed Prince's music to me as a kid. She had his debut album For You the year it was released. I had always loved Soft & Wet so being interested in the album was an automatic sort of thing. Then my older brother started buying every Prince album, starting from his second self-titled one on up. So all through my elementary junior high/high school years I always had access to Prince music, even if I didn't buy it. My brother was the one that took me to my first Prince gig: the Triple Threat Tour of Vanity 6, The Time, and Prince. The tour for the brilliant 1999. Staring at that inside sleeve of paintbrushes and skin did a teenage mind good ... yeahhh baybeee.

Like me, he stopped paying attention to Prince sometime in the 90s - he bought TRC upon my recommendation. The last time I asked him...which was about 8 months ago, he said he didn't have the patience for it. Said he wanted more funk and less jazz. But I'd be remiss if I didn't mention, my older brother has stopped buying music as consistently as he did as a bachelor and/or early years of his marriage (i.e. he is now a FAT CAT). He doesn't have the enthusiasm for music in general, I guess kids and a mortgage will do that to some people (can you say COMPLACENCY and/or LIVING IN THE PAST?), and I keep forgetting to ask him lately if he gave it a try again.

This will never happen to me. Music is my livelihood. It is my only drug, and it is a need for me.

Cut moi...

Moonbeam said:


aww, thanks. What kinda brother would I be if I didn't?

My family all like country/western.

My sister likes a select few Prince songs but that's it.

My sista Jasmine is about 3 months and she appreciated Prince since she was in my mom's belly

Eye have 4 brothers and believe it or not only 1 of them likes him, that's sad after all the recruting that eye tried 2 do, oh well atleast 1 got 1 of them hooked.
