That was an effing awesome story!! OmG!

Thanks, Bambi!

lol I know and it cracks me up how excited he is when he tells it. There are a few different videos of him telling the same story and I always feel bad for the other guys in the band because you know they've heard it a million times. lol I think this is pretty good, too: http://www.mtv.com/news/a...ince.jhtml

Prince & Peter Gabriel?

2 burned out rock stars.

Perhaps the question could be who would have been a good collaboration?

You think Prince and Peter Gabriel couldn't come up with something interesting, even if they just dipped into their archive of recordings?

I'm glad to mentioned Peter Gabriel! He is one of my favorites! While they are very different artists, especially in the pace that they work, I think they come up an amazing collaboration since both are hugely creative and very unique.

I have a huge respect for both Prince and Peter Gabriel,

What they have achieved in the past is amazing.

Maybe Kate Bush would be a good Prince collaboration?

Maybe not, since you can't hear her voice in the mix on My Computer.

Or maybe Madonna once again, to stir up some controversy, and excitement again.

Or Björk, could be interesting. Her voice is fantastic..

Not the young generation of artists - I prefer someone from the older / about the same age as Prince.

I also think someone from Prince's generation would be cool. Say...Bruce Springsteen? Tom Petty? Red Hot Chili Peppers?

I don't get Prince's tendency to only collaborate with female artists. I'd like to see him work with some men....and not Stevie Wonder or George Clinton.

AGREED!!

Sufjan Stevens

Dave Grohl

Q-Tip

Miguel

(Jamiroquai)

(Jamiroquai) Nuff Said, he should have been collab w/them instead of No Doubt!

Waiting Room was a pretty good track (imo).. don't knock ND, he could have collabed with both.

The more I think about a Prince/Dave Grohl-FF collab the more I NEED IT IN MY LIFE.

David Bowie would be amazing as they are both so Versatile. However I do love that story of Prince and Michael Jackson on the recording of Bad. Where they both were in a room and just glared at each other and didnt speak. I love that. The music world is missing that now i think.

i guess they both were waiting to see if who should make the first "move"

i just love the stubboness from the pair of them. They both respected eachother but just moved in different circles. I loved that fact. Nowadays its all just nicey nice and no rivalry. I remember years ago when Oasis were hating Blur etc. That was exciting. Now its just dull again. I think a bit of good rivalry is good for music. Makes people work harder.

I am pleased that MJ and Prince did not collaborate i dont think it would have worked. They both want different things out of it.

I don't think Prince is much of a collaborator, however, off the top of my head the one person I'd love to hear him work with would be James Murphy .

where as you see David Bowie is the master of being a collaborator.

Watched Bonnie Raitt and Mavis Staples on Austin City Limits last night. They did solo sets and then Bonnie joined Mavis at the end for several songs. It was so cool seeing these two together onstage. It would have been incredible to see Prince join them. I would like to hear he and Bonnie do something, the timing might be better now than it was in the 80s. And I'd like to hear more music with Mavis, they did some great stuff together that helped Prince mature in many ways.

david byrne

john frusciante and flea

st. vincent

....and John Grant.

John Grant, David Bowie, Jamiroquai, Dave Grohl... they'd all be great. I think collaborations with Beck or Goldfrapp would be interesting too.

I always wanted him to do a duet with Sade, especially the cover she did with "Still In Love With You."

This is gonna sound batshit crazy but I've honestly always wanted to hear a Prince collaboration with Tom Waits. I think that would be sick!
