Have you even bothered to hear Symphony or Damn, Vibrator, or Wildcard? If you did you wouldn't be laughing because all three of those albums are incredible. I'm being serious though, have you? If you put aside your preconceived notions and just listen to the music I don't see how you wouldn't at the very least respect the man as a musician.

Obviously you have nothing to say, your ignorance speaks for itself.

I would much rather spend my time listening to Lenny Kravitz, a much better talent than this Sandra, Samantha or Sananda.....fuck it Terrence. I did like Sign Your Name Across My Heart though.

dseann said:

Lenny Kravitz is great, I have all his stuff.

Seriously though, I ask you to take a few seconds and check out these 3 performances. If you do and IF YOU ARE HONEST WITH YOURSELF, there is NO WAY that you can say that the man is not a very talented musician. Before you rush to a conclusion, check out the clips...Seriously.

Dude, you're not going to change my mind or opinion of Terrence. He reminds me of a cross between James Brown, Prince and Milli Vanilli. He is a talented musician, I'm just not into him like that.

emilio319 said:

Good choices As for recordings I say anyone who can listen to "Seasons" (his best song, imo) & NOT get a sense of this man's talent is downright insane It ain't about charts & videos & US appeal - it's about grabbing a mic & killin' folks, that fool still got it

I have all of Lenny's stuff too (except for that God awful "Lenny" album) & talent-wise he can't even BEGIN to fuck w/ TTD

I think you're wasteing your time with this 1.
The airhead can't even take himself seriously.

But (for example) a record like Wildcard truly dwarves the attempts made on 3121
Sanandas' albums are true heavy weights and rarely on the wrong end of any comparison.

emilio319 said:

Oh! I'm so feeling all of these. Thank you for posting Emilio319.

When I first got that album I hated it also and it really turned me off on Lenny for a while but it has really grown on me...not all of it but it has some songs that I really like...like "If I Could Fall In Love,""Stillness of Heart," "Dig In," "Bank Robber Man," etc. Yeah it definitely has a few duds but a few of the songs will grow on you if you let them. Around that time he also did a song with Mick Jagger ("God Gave Me Everything I Want") on Mick Jagger's solo album that is similar in style to the Lenny album and the song is pretty dope.

Totally agree. I love the 3121 album. And there is no denying that as a guitarist, pianist, drummer, and bass player Prince can probably play circles around Sananda (and most any artist PERIOD), BUT if you were to compare "Symphony or Damn" or "Vibrator" or "WildCard" AS A WHOLE BODY OF ART to any album Prince has released in the 90's and 2000's, I DEFINITELY think Sananda's albums are WAY better. Sananda is a great songwriter and he really digs deep into his soul for his lyrics. If you check out a lot of his songlyrics, they are INCREDIBLE...REALLY DEEP! I can understand if some people prefer Prince's music and if Sananda is not their cup of tea but there is no denying Sananda is an incredible artist and that his albums are AMAZING and in my book CLASSIC. And they are long albums, he really gives you your money's worth...Symphony or Damn has 16 great songs and WildCard has 19 great songs on one cd. And while "Angels and Vampires" is not everyone's cup of tea, it has over 30 songs on it and there are no gimmicks, just a man singing and playing guitar, piano,bass, and drums and I love that album too. That's a no bullshit album, just straight up old school music.

Wildcard is probably my favourite at the moment. A feast of great songs. I can't help thinking he should have made 2 cds out of that 1. Some of the best songs are outtakes, like "what should I do?", "Amoeba" and the extremely cool "Mona lisa". BTW. these 3 perfect songs were all for free
My favourite songs of a very long moment, he freezes time with his voice!!

I'm trippin' on "testify" these days.

Really though, Wildcard is easily big enough for two big albums.

I haven't got vampires&angels yet.

I've been a dylan fan for 2 decades and I was amazed when I found that version of "It's Alright Ma I'm Only Bleeding". The perfect cover.

I realise I can praise his music until I loose track of exactly what it was that I wanted to say
Well you've probably said it all already yourself anyway, Godbless!

Rightly said:

Yeah there are two different versions of the "WildCard" album...my favorite is "The Joker's Edition" version cuz it includes "What Shall I Do?" which is one of my favorite songs of his, can't believe he left it off the original Wildcard lineup...and the joker's version also has "Testify" which I love as well.

.
I'm really liking that song.

Do you have a favourite 3, or better said, can you name me 3 of your all time favourites from the man?

mine may be:

- Holding on to you -
- Shalom -
- I'll never turn my back on you -

I never had much time for lenny kravitz though.

"Fly away" and "R U gonna' go my way?" are great songs and I wouldn't be suprised if he has more.

His guitar is good but a kind of standard commercial good, his voice isn't so great, at all, I find it completely predictable.

Prince and Lenny sang his "American Woman" and only while listening to that performance did I realize that the song isn't pointless.
That song turned out to be 1 of the best performances on the whole Rave concert dvd. IMO
Prince gave it the missing dimension.
During the time Lenny was on stage he seemed to be quite self-concious.

I also once saw a picture of Sananda and Lenny, and there also Lenny looked very uncomfortable with Sananda who was apparently enjoying the moment.

But Lenny does seem to compose well enough.

True he's wrote plenty top songs.
I'll give him another chance. With the album "5"

And I'll see if I can find that pic again and get over to you.

You're welcome, Emilio .
I think I have another one as well in a book , but maybe I don't remember correctly.

She was fast !
Both impeccably wasted.


Be honest though, Sananda has more depth, while lenny has better hair.

Princes' Lisa did rude things with Lenny and this resulted in what is now a very sexy woman coming into being.
I hope she's old enough 2 b called sexy

FarrahMoan said:

Sananda / TTD is very talented. But he's barking mad too.

Also, I wish he'd bloody well release his last album on CD instead of just selling MP3s track by track.

It's just the way "MyORG" was working out, that's all.

FarrahMoan said:

Okay, whatever

blacksweat said:

there r 3 versions of wildcard...the one that was first on his website, the one that was released in the UK and the version that was a combination of the previous 2 in the US.

I at first didn't like TTD but as soon as I saw a special on MTV where he did dance little sister, i was hooked. even tho neither fish nor flesh i wasn't keen 2 at first, but after years of revisting it, it's not that bad. symphony or damn GOOD LORD!!
now do u love me like u say neon messiah let her down easy Vibrator had me bouncing off the walls 2 CYFLMA Supermodel sandwhich turn the page

wildcard had me scratching my head at 1st but it grew on me with the tracks b willing, saying about u, srr636, dark places etc etc

i just got vampires and angels both volumes this week and intended 2 spin this more than i have planet earth.

i've read where some have said he's a prince wanna b..well then isn't prince a wanna b james brown? food 4 thought (btw TTD/SM loved james brown as well)
