PrintableIf the world of music were like an amusement park, say, Cedar Point, then you have many choices of which to enjoy.
There are plenty of rides and attractions. Prince's music to me is like the wild, big rides...the roller coasters. A trip; an experience. They stand out and take you higher, lower, and faster-they loop you. As fun and exciting as they are, if all a person ever did was ride the roller coasters, then he/she truly hasn't experienced everything Cedar Point has to offer. It's all good. | |

This might sound strange, but XTC is right up there in terms of sheer song-writing prowess and creativity. XTC doesn't use a lot of the post-production effects, though, and sometimes I wish they would, but I'll just leave that to apples and oranges (or oranges and lemons?). Almost every XTC album requires a great deal of chewing to fully appreciate, which is probably why they aren't more popular than they are. But this is one of the things that makes them great. When you're done chewing, you find that you have truly swallowed something...er...wonderful... Who are XTC? | |

I'd have to say that Prince is my favorite.
Though I do listen to a hell of a lot of other artists (I have over 2,000 albums on CD/LP). [This message was edited Sat Mar 22 10:27:10 PST 2003 by BorisFishpaw] | |

They are a British band that's been around for at least 2 decades. Their music has a quasi-folk feel to it, but it's much more complex. Fear is the mind-killer. | |

As fun and exciting as they are, if all a person ever did was ride the roller coasters, then he/she truly hasn't experienced everything Cedar Point has to offer. It's all good. It probably depends on my mood and the seasons of my life. Lately I've been listening to a lot of EW&F in my car as I drive back and forth to work, or run errands. And currently I prefer it to Prince. This is coming not too long after I bought the ONA box set. EW&F is what I listened to during my jr. and sr. high school days, back when there was "no such thing as Prince". And they're still good. ... Wanna thank you, Wanna thank you We just wanna give Gratitude Got plenty love we wanna give to you With good music we're tryin' to say That the Good Lord's gonna make a way Open up your heart, let your body find, Freedom in your stride, love, peace of mind One more time and we got to say That the Good Lord gonna make a way. | |

I've gone anywhere from a week to a month w/o listening to him, but not lately...  I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!!

I a devoted listener to several, namely...
~Maxwell
~Gabrielle
~Sarah McLachlan
... although Prince and his musical essence is by far #1 with me. Quite honestly, he never ceases to amaze me (musically)...  am in complete awe.  | |
