Which Current Artists Display The Biggest Prince Influnce?

I'm listening to Justin Timberlake's album - yeah, I know... But it really is GOOD.

If you haven't heard it, download a song called "Take It From Here". It sounds like a cross between "Pink Cashmere" and "Insatiable". When I read the reviews, all the critics were claiming that there was a Michael Jackson vibe about the album - but if anything it has been tapped by the Purple Stick...

Obviously, the Neptunes are huge Prince fnas, they must have been to steal Nasty Girl's groove for Britney's "Slave 4 U" - but which other artists are showing signs of exposure to Prince?

Lenny Kravitz,Blial,Beck,Neptunes.Timberlake has a MJ,Prince,Stevie&others Influence there as do so many other Cats.but when you Hear Justin Timberlake&think MainStream MJ is the First Name that comes to Mind even though IMHO Timberlake seems more like a Usher Clone thus far.

I was listening to Maxwell's Now album and some of it REALLY reminds me of Prince-esp the Get to know you track-those horns are classic

The easier question is, "which artist 2day isn't"?

I'm only half-kidding.

How about Janet Jackson for starters? Then we could do Lenny, Maxwell, D'Angelo, Remy Shand, Justin Timberlake, Beck, TLC, Res, Jamiroquai, Bilal, Glenn Lewis [?] and so on . . .

Don't forget the downtempo/acid folk too . . . Blue Six and a lot of the stuff on Om and Naked Music.
