Your Top 7 Artists? Where does Prince rank among your faves? Not meant to be a list of who is best or better than anyone else; just wondering among the orgers, where they PERSONALLY rank Prince among their other favorite artists. Figured I'd go with 7, but can tell you right now, that those last 2 spots are a revolving door for me, and can easily be replaced with Prince, Ella Fitzgerald, Miles Davis, The Band, XTC, Elton John, Ben Folds, Charlie Parker, Louis Armstrong, Joni Mitchell, Fleetwood Mac, David Bowie, Lou Reed, The Rolling Stones on any given day.
That said, here's mine:
2. Duke Ellington 3. Bob Dylan 4. Thelonious Monk 5. Stevie Wonder 6. Joe Jackson 7. Billie Holiday [Edited 6/8/11 21:40pm] "There is two kinds of music, the good, and the bad. I play the good kind."

This is a prince fan website.
Prince ranks 1 99% of my posts are ironic. Maybe this post sides with the other 1%. | |

Prince ranks 1 Glad to amuse. I actually frequent alot of fan websites. I didn't realize it was considered traitorous to frequent more than one. Lately, being in Los Angeles, I'm naturally a Prince high, so I'm here. Sad that you don't seem to enjoy any music outside of Prince.

#1 for me. There are plenty of artists i listen to besides Prince but he is such an amazing all rounder with an amazing discography. If i want some rock, i'll listen to Endorphinmachine or Bambi etc, if i want funk there's Black sweat/kiss, r&b like slow love, adore, disco in "I wanna be your lover" and so on. Plus his live performances are so incredible. I've been addicted to the live performance of "Fury" on SNL, the 1984 birthday show, rehersals , etc. | |

Thanks for the responses, but I'm actually curious what OTHER artists Prince fan listen to regularly. Starting to seem like orgers can use a little Musicology.
Did everyone miss the request for "top 7," or is asking orgers to name other recording artists akin to asking Palin what newspapers she reads?  [Edited 6/8/11 11:10am] "There is two kinds of music, the good, and the bad. I play the good kind."

Prince ranks somewhere between the St. Wilfred's School Choir of "There's No One Quite Like Grandma" fame, and The Grumbleweeds. | |

I didn't mean to hurt you
I listen to other artists and music. However, Prince ranks 1. 99% of my posts are ironic. Maybe this post sides with the other 1%. | |

My favourite artists are still the same that are listed on my profile  . Prince used to be NO 1 for quite some years, but is no longer. Kinda hard to say what spot he has now  .With a very special thank you to Tina: Is hammer already absolute, how much some people verändern...ICH hope is never so I will be! And if, then I hope that I would then have wen in my environment who joins me in the A.... | |

You assume that if someone doesn't reply the way you want them to, that they don't understand your request?
Again, I don't mean to hurt you. It's just your way of communicating and choosing your words that amuse me.
99% of my posts are ironic. Maybe this post sides with the other 1%. | |

How can you ask for a Top 7 on a Prince forum if your Top 7 doesn't include Prince? LOL. I see what you're going for, but maybe a Top 10 would have been more Princely?
These days, this is what my top 10 looks like:
Peter Gabriel Beatles Tori Amos Prince David Bowie Leonard Cohen Kate Bush M.I.A. DJ Danger Mouse (Gnarls Barkley, Broken Bells) Bjork

that is for me impossible... As you can see from my OP, it's impossible for me too. To UltraLash: I'm sure if I pulled jazz artists out and just asked for pop, Prince would crack a top 10 for me. dJJ: Not hurt, but appreciate your concern. On the contrary, it must hurt for you to constantly be falling off your chair.  [Edited 6/8/11 12:14pm] "There is two kinds of music, the good, and the bad. I play the good kind."

Prince is always at #1
The rest, in no particular order:

This list is subject to change without notice. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |
