the year after his passing I couldn't listen to any other music and though I loved his music since '84 I discovered so much unheared and learned to love tracks and periods I didn't dig before.

but I started to listen to other music beside prince again during the last months ... right now mostly older stuff like rolling stones, queen, hendrix, bruce springsteen, santana, supertramp, peter gabriel, U2, billy idol, billy joel, pink floyd, fleetwood mac, janice joplin, millie jackson or helen schneider

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]

This. That's so boring. I tried that crap shortly after he died and got SO BORED. And it only took me about a month before I was like NOPE I CAN'T. As it stands, Prince is... only one of the artists I listen to, and not very much at that. I've got into digging up Seal's entire catalog (okay, it isn't a big one, but what he produces is worth the wait.) and getting it together to hear.

Nobody listens to Shakira or latin music?

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.

Great, Bob and Leonard.

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

Oh, I'll never forget about Bob, he's a part of my life. Have you heard the Bob Dylan parody on Frank Zappa's Sheik Yerbouti LP? It's great fun!

I haven't, what's your favorite Bob's song? mine is either Like A Rolling Stone or To Ramona.

- I like cuban music and brazilian.

Forgot to say I spent 2016 listening to Esperanza Spalding´s last album. Never was a big fan of her, but that one is amazing

Tangled Up in Blue. Blood on the Tracks is my favourite Dylan album.

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

[Edited 8/5/17 21:32pm]

Love Thundercat and collaborator Flying Lotus.

'Drunk' is my favourite album of the year so far.

As of tonight Sun Ra...

That's a fine album for sure. And he still plays Tangled Up In Blue live. With ever evolving lyrics. I also love Lily, Rosemary & the Jack of Hearts and other epic storytelling songs that go on forever like Desolation Row, Hurricane, Brownsville Girl, Tin Angel and Tempest. [Edited 8/7/17 13:44pm]

I love that song, is a little sad story when it comes to Rosemary. What's you're favorite album?

I listen to just about everything except death metal, I'm open to new artists and my iTunes show it lol. That's how my dad raised me, he always said music is music we don't break music down to genres in this house 😂

.

- Cool! I love my dad, but I definitely didnt want to be like him in this subject. He only liked cool jazz and bossa nova. Not even 60s rock. When I grew up, loving Van Halen, Scorpions and such, I used to hear some rockers saying that ´rock music died in 75´ and I didnt want to be a dinosaur like them.
I admit I almost became one in the last 10 years, because mainstream pop sounded the same, like all artists had the same producer, but I am happy I can appreciate some talented people from this generation (that I mentioned before). Of course, Prince is number one, and the only artist I am a fan, but my playlist is very eclectic.

Highway 61 is the one that got me hooked, the first album I buy from an artist often remains my favourite. Lovesexy by Prince, Sticky Fingers by The Stones...

Do you like You'´re A Big Girl Now? it's one my favorites from him.

There are 8 Dylan albums I really like (in chronological order). The rest of them can go take a sit.

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

Another Side of Bob Dylan

Bringing It All Back Home

Highway 61 Revisited

Blonde on Blonde

Blood on the Tracks

Desire

Street Legal

NorthC said:

So he did nothing great after 1978? But I'm thinking we should continue this discussion in another forum...

He did great things afterwards like Slow Train, Oh Mercy, Time Out Of Mind, Love and Theft and Modern Time.

He sounds depressed on there. Like Another Side of Bob Dylan is its chirpier happy sibling (also '64). He kinda forgot about melody, which i think dylan needs to produce really good albums.

NorthC said:

Yes I am adamantly of that opinion. He's done great songs since 78 of course. I have the same problem with Bowie since 87. Melody is the most important denominator in music.

My most listened to / favorite artists:

1. Frank Sinatra

2. The Beatles

3. Bruce Springsteen

4. Prince

5. The Rolling Stones

6. David Bowie

7. Soundgarden

8. Elton John

9. Paul McCartney (solo)

10. Bob Dylan

11. Stevie Wonder

12. Chris Cornell (solo)

13. Roy Orbison

14. Billy Joel

15. The Beach Boys

16. George Michael

17. The Who

18. Led Zeppelin

19. Elvis Presley

20. Queen

Might be odd seeing Prince at # 4, but I got into him much later; those first three at the top were the first artists whose music I ever really fell in love with.
