Prince liked Stevie Wonder, Sly and the Family Stone(fresh album) Jimi Hendrix (machine gun, villanova junction), the Delfonics and Stylistics (Betchabygollywow lalalal means i love u), Jackson 5,

Some of the last records he bought were Richie Havens and the Chamber Brothers

Google the songs he covered and it will help

Appolonia said that he liked "karma Chameleon" he was meant to have liked Offspring (when they first came out but I wouldn't put to much stock in that), Larry Graham and Graham Central

Addicted to love by Robert Palmer was a song he liked, he tried to top it by writing "you got the look"

Alicia Keys, Jonalle Monae.....

Joni Mitchell and Led Zeppelin, Chaka Khan and Rufus.

I think his taste reviewed the fact he came into his own in the sevneties. And I think that was key. He loved Santana I think they had a connection with their focus on the spiritual too.

There were setlists he put together before shows and at his club, I'm sure you can find it online or someone in here definitely has it. Had stuff with Headhunters, Average White Band, Rufus & Chaka Khan, etc...

He did a playlist for new girl thats on spotify.
Though thats more soul and funk.
Princes taste in pop, or rock, or just songs he loved over the years, thats harder to know.

I would presume he liked the artists that played at the Celebrations - Alicia Keys, Common, Norah Jones, Victor Wooten, George Clinton, Maceo, Angie Stone, Erykah Badu, Bernard Allison, Musiq, Nikka Costa, Rachelle Farrell, Mint Condition...

When he presented Gotye with the grammy, he said "...oh, eye love that song..."
