For example, would you go out and buy Radiohead now?

It's odd that I've only got into Radiohead in the last month or so, but I'm loving 'em.

But, in the past, I've certainly have bought artists based on Prince connection like Sly Stone and others for me.

Y'all??

I buy stuff that has influenced him or that was around the same time as him.
But not for a cover.

Most definitely yes! I've bought cds from The Banglez,Patti Labelle,Alicia Keyz,Celine Dion,Martika,and so many other artistz' whoze music I ordinarily would never consider buying.

i loathe sarah machlachlach, so no. no i wouldn't.

If I don't generally listen to that singer, Limewire baby.

Nah.
I'd probably just shoplift it.

Fuck no...

No.

I might...and I have purchased Nikka Costa and Corrine Bailey Rae..however, I am not sure I have heard a "Radiohead" song...and I don't know if I would listen 2 it frequently enough to own it.

Hun, they covered Prince! No?

I get what you're saying because I love hearing Prince songs from other artists that he either wrote, produced, or they covered of his.


But songs of others that he covers then for me no.

I didn't rush out and get Cheryl crows album when he did Everyday is a winding road, or Joan Osbournes for One of us, even though I love his versions of them!

No, but I did find myself listening to Foo Fighters and Amy Winehouse on the radio last year.

But I would buy a CD with him doing the covers.

Yes because I like to be introduced to new music and it's one way of finding out about an artist I might like - if Prince likes them then chances are it's musically sound even if not always my taste! Prob wouldn't pay shop CD prices though..!

Absolutely!!!!


I love it when he does covers at the live shows!

mentalist said:

Yup!
Loved the versions I've heard so far, and I haven't heard that many.
But just the fact that he transforms the song into his own creation.
Like "Creep" and "Best of You/All Along the Watchtower".

My favourites are Whole lotta Love/Love Rollercoaster back to back from the ONA shows, and more recently Come together, and Play that funky music whiteboy from the O2 shows!

Heard about these, and the orger Limebandana was the dancer on the stage that night.

Hell no I have to like the artist myself

No but I remember back in 2001 & 2002, I was interested in getting Alicia Keys and Norah Jones's debut CD's but when I had heard that Alicia had done a cover of How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore, and that Norah had performed at Prince's Celebration at Paisley Park, it made me want to buy their CD's even more and I did.

No. I may not like it.

yes i have ..that's how i got in2 sly and led zepplin but not every artist that prince likes, i do 4 xample ..i will NEVER get a beyotchi cd

sro100 said:

Absolutely NOT.

not unless Prince's cover was on that CD

probably would


....I bought Goapele's album just cause I heard Prince was a fan of hers
Boy was that a waste of money
Her music is too boring and run of the mill for me

Most cds I get for "Prince reasons" I end up liking though
