This week on Dutch radio 3fm, they broadcast a top 1000 of songs of the past decade. Compiled by the listeners. Prince is ther 1 time, with Guitar on #865.

Of cours, one can argue if that should have been higher or lower. But to me, it seems to fit:
Should Prince be in that top 1000? Yes
Wich songs (singles) would fit in? Guitar
What ranking would be ok? somewhere in the last 1/3.


(BTW Coldplay is at nr 1)

I'm surprised that Musicology didn't feature as it had a decent amount of radio and mtv-play and is a much better song.

^ yeah, Musicology (song) and also Black Sweat are better songs, these had more hit potential imo - than Guitar.

still it's cool to see Prince on a list like that

Natuurlijk staat U2 er weer gigantisch vaak in....altijd het zelfde met die lijstjes

robertlove said:

als er in belgië zulke lijsten zijn staat clouseau er wel 30 keer in

wel, it is a Dutch list so...

"Popular" music as in chart music in the last 10-15 years has been mainly horse shit.....in the UK anyway.

Theres good music out there but you need to look for it. If you look at the charts in the 50's through till 95 you can pick out some great tunes, since then its over-produced, thin beated, cover version, corporate shite.

I'd put every Prince song from 2000 onwards at the top, followed by a few good hip hop tunes,, after that i'd be struggling to name anything of any merit that your average Joe Idiot would of heard.

Coldplay lick balls

Klopt volgens mij wel.
Hoewel ik de clips van Fury and Black Sweat ook weleens voorbij zag komen op tmf.

Overigens ben ik het totaal niet met de lijst eens, gezien de beste tracks ook de meest (belachelijk) recente tracks zijn.

And that's why their gig was one of the best I've ever seen.

Their own?

That's not true! When you compare Parachutes to Viva La Vida, it's two different albums. IMO, their albums are much better than last two U2's albums.

remko said:

Well surely that invalidates the entire list?

remko said:

Great decade for Prince it was!

What does that mean, we don't speak freeky deeky Dutch

What would your #1 be then?

Translation
Freeky Deeky Dutch to English

Allthough I saw the videos of Fury and Black Sweat coming by on televison (TMF channel ( dutch MTV ) )

Besides, I totally disagree with this song list. Becasuse the top ranked songs are also the most ( redicules ) recently produced songs.

Long live the Freeky Deeky Dutch

(btw, it was very odd to see that only Parisians and freeky deeky dutch people attended the Paris concerts last year )

to include all the Freeky Deeky Dutch:

te grappig dit

Sorry it was a joke I got from Goldmember, where hes talking about Austin Powers Farjer.

865th? wow. just awesome. like Purple & Gold.

remko said:

Anything other than Coldplay. I'd rather listen to new power soul, jughead and purple and gold on infinite repeat.

TheEnglishGent said:

wow, even jughead over Coldplay

Of course the hitlist is compiled by the audience of 3fm. But it does not really come as a surprise that Coldplay is at the first and alot of other places in that countdown.
I would not really know how to describe the audience-profile of 3fm. It is a pop-station that plays just about everything from top 40 to classic rock. It is slightly progressive(?).
So Prince is in their scope because of his past and not so much for his current music.

Huggiebear said:

It's okay ,

It ain't that social and polite to talk dutch while just a few can understand what we're saying.

I'm sorry.

remko said:

I know they respect Prince,

Housequake was at # 1 in the top 10 songs about Haiti earlier this week.
Very funny , but also very cruel
