if prince had to make an 'influences' cd, what would be on it? a cd as in those compiled by one artist or band to showcase influences or just songs that theyre really into, like the 'dj kicks' or 'late night tales' series
now these arent really songs i think prince would choose, but i think they illustrate clues to his own music from artists he liked (ive not included songs he 'paid tribute to' like robert palmers addicted to love as thats too easy)
sly stone - if you want me to stay stevie wonder - maybe my baby parliament - i misjudged you james brown - body heat earth wind fire - reasons sylvester - mighty real donna summer - love to love you baby bill withers - use me joni mitchell - case of you rolling stones - emotional rescue todd rundgren - it wouldnt have made any difference santana - soul sacrifice david bowie - stay funkadelic - Who Says a Funk Band Can't Play Rock? rufus and chaka khan - sweet thing marvin gaye - i want you miles davis - shhh/peaceful delfonics - didnt i blow your mind this time rod stewart - do you think im sexy kiss - i was made for loving you queen - in only seven days devo - whip it hendrix - have you ever been to electric ladyland boston -a man ill never be grand funk railroad - we're an american band

There is a sort of build it yourself playlist in the book that came with the One Nite Alone box. Many many songs on that one. Someone will have it but I don't I sold my cd collection. | |

moderatorWe don't know enough about his new wave influences but Tubeway Army should probably be on that list. | |

- I agree. I'm sure Prince was also influenced by Gary Numan, even more than Devo i believe. Certainly the sound from his early rude period. - "The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves. And wiser people so full of doubts" (Bertrand Russell 1872-1972) |
