I feel very guilty for discovering The Boo Radleys and Super Furry Animals late. They've done more great albums than virtually any band in existence. And right now I'm nearly in an existential crisis over it.

Of course. Lots of music. From Metallica to Miles Davis. From Kendrick Lamar to Red Hot Chili Peppers. From Living Colour to Tom Jobim. And The Police, Steely Dan, Led Zep, Van Halen, brazilian music, cuban music, PFunk, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, KISS, Whitesnake, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Thundercat, George Michael, Thelonious Monk, Chet Baker, Esperanza Spalding, Jamiroquai, Bowie, Tears for Fears, Deep Purple, Jaco Pastorius, Highly Suspect, Bruno Mars, etc etc etc

.
And, to be honest, sometimes I get very bored with some Prince fans that only listen to him and think only he could deliver good music (or ´real music´)

Since Prince has passed, I barely listen to anyone else apart from the associated artist, and mostly Vanity/Vanity 6 and The Time. That's where I am right now. I can't seem to move on to anyone else yet.

I felt like that just after he passed, but only for a few months. Now thanks to these new leaks I'm listening to him a lot again. So it comes and goes. Sometimes I'm in a Zappa mood and want to hear nothing else for a while...

Hey, what's up with rou man Dylan, don't forget about him.

I'm in Shakira mood these last weeks, i just discovered Dreaming About U and Soul Sanctuary from Emancipation and Willing and Able from D&P great songs love them.

In my case, it´s the opposite. I still listen to Prince, but a lot less. I get sad everytime I listen to him or watch a concert. I believe Prince would want us to be enjoying what he created, but it´s still hard.

[Edited 7/29/17 20:38pm]

second that, a lot less for me too. His passing still saddens me so it is hard to listen like I used to. Instead I mostly listen to a lot of reggae, old and new, and Anderson. Paak.

This thread is pure comedy. You can still be a Prince fan and listen to other music, omg LMAO

Yeah, sometimes. As of late (w/ all these leaks), not so much. Other ppl I groove 2 on occasion r Kendrick, Future, Badu, Hov...

Of course. Because I am not a philistine.

Of course. I rarely listen to Prince if I'm honest. You don't have to restrict yourself to just one thing to be a fan of it.

I can't imagine listening to just any one artist (even if it is Prince!)

Some of my other favourite artists:

Nick Cave

Tom Waits

Primal Scream

Bowie

Primus

Beck

The Rolling Stones

Jamiroquai

Leonard Cohen

Bob Dylan

Radiohead


I've got into many artists through Prince, like Joni Mitchell, Sly Stone, Funkadelic, Santana, Esperanza Spalding, and The Cocteau Twins.

... some more

Jamie Saft Trio / Iggy Pop

Gregory Porter

Robbie Williams .. when he does jazzy stuff

...

I will go months without listening to any Prince music.... because there are thousands of other brilliant artists with hundreds of thousands of hours of brilliant output to explore and listen to... how anyone could want to only listen to PRince (or even mostly Prince) is beyond me...

[Edited 8/5/17 4:36am]

I go through phases. Right now, its lots of older music. I enjoy the POlice, Simon and Garfunkel, Paul Simon (talk about a great lyricist), Amy Winehouse, Jimmy Hendrix, 90's Radiohead...

I do but got throught phases were its just prince for months,then none,

maybe some paul simon then some chart stuff,then maybe erasure there new stuff

Paul Simon's music been on my mind lately. I can't stop listening to his song "American Tune" gorgeous and very relevant lyrics written on the year I was born...

lyrics and link...(https://www.youtube.com/w...E3kKUEY5WU

Many's the time I've been mistaken
And many times confused
Yes, and I've often felt forsaken
And certainly misused
But I'm all right, I'm all right
I'm just weary to my bones
Still, you don't expect to be
Bright and bon vivant
So far away from home, so far away from home

And I don't know a soul who's not been battered
I don't have a friend who feels at ease
I don't know a dream that's not been shattered
or driven to its knees
But it's all right, it's all right
For we've lived so well so long
Still, when I think of the road we're traveling on
I wonder what's gone wrong

I can't help it, I wonder what's gone wrong

And I dreamed I was dying
I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly
And looking back down at me
Smiled reassuringly
And I dreamed I was flying
And high up above my eyes could clearly see
The Statue of Liberty
Sailing away to sea
And I dreamed I was flying

We come on the ship they call the Mayflower
We come on the ship that sailed the moon
We come in the age's most uncertain hour
and sing an American tune
But it's all right, it's all right
You can't be forever blessed
Still, tomorrow's going to be another working day
And I'm trying to get some rest
That's all, I'm trying to get some rest

Funny but Paul and Prince are quite different in many ways but these two ambitious, complicated, insecure, baby-faced,and tiny musical geniuses (who have been accused of stealing music) do have things in common...LOL> Paul is the better lyricist (though Prince was no slouch), Prince was the better musican (though Paul was no slouch). Prince was much sexier and could dance his apple butt off (no contest.)

About Paul...I like Rhythm of the Saints better than Graceland. I do sometimes miss Garfunkel's voice in later Paul music(and do occasionally find a few of Paul's songs boring) but I think his talent was still glaringly clear after SandG broke up.

For those who want to listen to ´real music´ from this generation and cant stand the Biebers, and such, I recommend:

- Kamasi Washington

- Thundercat (George Clinton said he was like the 21st Century Bootsy, and that means a lot)

- Jacob Collier (extremely talented and young multi instrumentalist)

Search for them on Youtube and enjoy

yea american tune is a great song,there are similarites between them ,they both were not afraid to change things,prince with his bands,music..paul with simon and garfunkel,then his different styles of music too.He has few hidden gems like trailways bus,his songwriting is great and storytelling,like princes earlier music where i could really picture the scene of a song.They both hav albums that dont fit in with current or past trends,songs from the capeman is a terrific album but hard to get into at first,like the rainbow children it needed a few listens first.They both used not just good melodys in there songs but rhythm was more important than the tune .weird but looking at it now they were similar paul simon wasnt as adventurous as prince but they both did things there own way.
