What are your top 5 favourite artists beside Prince? We've had a thread like this before, but with so many new members coming in, I would really like to know everybody's favourites. (So mods, please don't relocate this to the non-Prince forum.) Anyway, here's mine: James Brown Bob Dylan The Rolling Stones Sly & the Family Stone Kate Bush Wat's yours? | |

In no order:
Janet Michael Jackson Maxwell (if Prince ever had a successor, it'd be him, despite his lack of frequent output) Culture Club (often dismissed, but took reggae and made it pop) George Michael (one of the best male voices still alive today) Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking. | |

Nice lists so far. Good to know that not everybody is listening to the same stuff. Keep 'em coming! | |

For me it's always been Prince followed (quite far behind) by Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye. The final two places vary. Let's just fill them with two new acts this week: Lianne LaHavas and The Weeknd. I'll probably replace them with John Coltrane and Miles Davis next week, though. | |

Jill Scott - dynamic range; incredible storyteller The Isley Brothers - absolutely silky ballads; a very funky rock/r&b hybrid Michael Jackson - Jackson 5 classics, Thriller, Bad, hypnotic live dancer Sade - "an aural massage"; quite simply relaxation for the ears Maze - straight forward, feel good, sing-along music

Thats an interesting addition. I like Berg, Schoenberg, and Webern but its rare that I find others that appreciate them that much. Change it one more time.. | |

Yeah, I know some people dismiss atonality outright, but I don't think anyone can argue its merits to the progression of art and sound. Art should push the envelope and uproot the foundations, and those three definitely did that... Plus I like a nice active listen and that style of music gives a lot to pay attention to. | |

I don't have many other favorites besides Prince, but I would say Janet Jackson is kind of a favorite (old stuff) and I've gone through phases of being really into Bruno Mars, John Mayer, Garth Brooks, Amy Winehouse, maybe some others. Prince has always been and will always be my #1! | |
