i think he has loads of motown songs, or sum classic rock!! Back in the 1980s various members of the Revolution introduced him to all sorts of classic albums and genres,people like Miles Davis,Duke Ellington,Beatles,Led Zeppelin,Al Green etc etc.Its where he got the inspiration to branch out and create wonderful albums like Parade,ATWIAD etc. Check out Chocadelica , updated with Lotusflow3r and MPLSound album lyrics April 2nd 2009 :

While touring PP during the celebration tour I noticed a large stack of cd's in his recording studio and not very surprisingly he had GCS, Sly, Stevie, James, Chaka, Hendrix, and all his other influences. I didn't really see much new music besides an Ani cd. | |

There's every chance they were chosen to be found like that. I'm not suggesting that they're not his favourite discs but Prince doesn't let anything be known without his choosing. Life it ain't real funky unless you got that orgPop. | |

i think he has loads of motown songs, or sum classic rock!! He collects his own back catalogue and he's always on the lookout for a good bootleg or two. . [This message was edited Sat Dec 13 12:02:36 PST 2003 by langebleu] ALT+PLS+RTN: Pure as a pane of ice. It's a gift. |

moderatorI've never thought of Prince as much of a musicologist. I've never read an interview with him where he's mentioned some album or group he's into and thought "oh wow, wonder what that's all about, I'll have to check that out..." I love reading interviews w/ my favorite musicians to get that kind of info, but it's never really paid off with Prince - usually it's like, "oh no he did NOT just call Celine Dion funky." | |

It's not particularly common for him to mention another artist's work specifically - Joni Mitchell's 'Hissing Of Summer Lawns' is an obvious exception that comes to mind. That said his work by way of covers, references in other forms (the last tour book was full of 'NPG playlist' recommendations - probably from across the whole band, I suspect) and samples, suggests he has a back catalogue collection or listens back to a lot of music over the past 30-40 years.

what an idiotic statement and rumor Ok,"introduced" was a bad choice of word,but you know what I meant ,The Revolution did expand Prince's musical tastes , read a book or 2 on him before jumping down peoples throats e.g DMSR page 163 "Lisa ,Wendy and Susannah were important in turning Prince onto the Beatles,Led zeppelin and other rock groups of the 60s and 70s" Don't assume stuff about Prince ,he said himself in a Rolling Stone interview that he'd never heard Bob Dylan's work,he'd only heard Hendrix's version of "All along the watchtower",maybe you lot wanna assume he was hearing every kind of music under the sun,I'd rather base my opinions on facts. I dunno,maybe Per Nilssen' thoroughly-researched books on Prince were all baloney,maybe not,maybe certain prince.orgers think they know it all...

And you hold your knowledge with something written in a book eh? Yeah u said introduced, and regardless if you think that or DMSR said that its still stupid to think they "introduced" prince to a pleathera of other music he had "never" heard of in lilly white MN at that time..please! Especially Beatles, Stones, or Led Zep as u mentioned..gawd..If you know YOURE history you would know most of MN radio rarely played any soul or rnb so of course Prince was engulfed in rock music and other...see all of his back catalogue for influences of rock, rnb, funk, etc...all "introduced" by th e "world" to Prince..not "the revolution".

*sigh* I took back the word "introduced" ,if the only way you can try and prove me wrong is by rewording my arguments it makes for a pretty pointless debate.I'll stand by my argument,based as it is on a passage from an oft-praised book on Prince , you stand by yours,based on whatever opinions you felt like having today.

what an idiotic statement and rumor Chill out, dude. A lot of artists overlook the big names and then find out later exactly why these people have the big names they have. Especially with Prince, I think once upon a time he prided himself on listening to underground stuff. Also, its easy for people to dismiss the Beatles as bubblegum fluff pop artists (I once did), but theyre certainly not. | |

I discovered Hendrix and the Beatles through Prince, but not because he mentioned it...usually because music analysts love to mention these people along with Prince. I've heard him mention Joni a lot, but I haven't gotten around to her music yet. Helikes the Stones too, but I've never heard him come outright and say a word about the Beatles. I'd say he's a Chuck Berry fan too. | |

Nobody said that none of Prince's band members hipped him to some music during their years together. It's common in any band that the members hip each other to what they may not be aware of. I'm sure that Prince has thrown in some influences into some of his bandmember's repertoires to add something new to their palates too. But to insinuate that they had to expose him to certain styles in order for him to be cognizant of music not stereotypically associated with him is a stretch. Since his sophmore album it was obvious this freak's music wasn't limited. It's not like he was the horse who had to be led to the water and made to drink by others in order to realize that so-and-so's music exists. Adult musicians are usually curious about other styles in general, especially when part of their musical education is curriculum in their everyday schooling. Even if they don't exhibit it in their work. Someone with Prince's parentage (both jazz performers), regional surroundings (Minneapolis does not have a large Black population - I'm sure the Beatles and Zeppelin could easily be found on radio stations there), and natural inquisitiveness of a creator is most likely not going to be so incurious and helpless when it comes to various music styles so as to be one-dimensional, as some people want to paint him without the vaunted saviors within the Revolution. I've even heard (read) a couple of people here who say that it was Eric Leeds who "introduced Prince to jazz." That's a slap in the face to John and Mattie. I'm sure Prince's parents would dispute that if they were still among the living. Some seem to hold this view that since Prince was never hugely vocal in the press about what he was listening to, and his influences, that his musical worldview was very limited. Prince was never hugely vocal about ANYTHING in the press in those days. That's too much of an assumption. He was obviously bs'ing when he used to downplay Hendrix's influence (it's easy to understand why, but bs nonetheless). Hell, the way Prince used to dress was Hendrix personified. It’s logical that as time goes on he would progress, being a working musician. The less Prince says publicly, the more his fans assume about his influences...and many other things. º [This message was edited Sat Dec 13 16:47:58 PST 2003 by Supernova] This post not for the wimp contingent.

rdhull said: moonshine said: rdhull said: moonshine said: Back in the 1980s various members of the Revolution introduced him to all sorts of classic albums and genres,people like Miles Davis,Duke Ellington,Beatles,Led Zeppelin,Al Green etc etc.Its where he got the inspiration to branch out and create wonderful albums like Parade,ATWIAD etc. Give me a break and quit spreading this bullshit around..like Prince never heard of any of those bands/artists before "the revolution". "Introduced",
what an idiotic statement and rumor Ok,"introduced" was a bad choice of word,but you know what I meant ,The Revolution did expand Prince's musical tastes , read a book or 2 on him before jumping down peoples throats e.g DMSR page 163 "Lisa ,Wendy and Susannah were important in turning Prince onto the Beatles,Led zeppelin and other rock groups of the 60s and 70s" Don't assume stuff about Prince ,he said himself in a Rolling Stone interview that he'd never heard Bob Dylan's work,he'd only heard Hendrix's version of "All along the watchtower",maybe you lot wanna assume he was hearing every kind of music under the sun,I'd rather base my opinions on facts. I dunno,maybe Per Nilssen' thoroughly-researched books on Prince were all baloney,maybe not,maybe certain prince.orgers think they know it all... And you hold your knowledge with something written in a book eh? Yeah u said introduced, and regardless if you think that or DMSR said that its still stupid to think they "introduced" prince to a pleathera of other music he had "never" heard of in lilly white MN at that time..please! Especially Beatles, Stones, or Led Zep as u mentioned..gawd..If you know YOURE history you would know most of MN radio rarely played any soul or rnb so of course Prince was engulfed in rock music and other...see all of his back catalogue for influences of rock, rnb, funk, etc...all "introduced" by th e "world" to Prince..not "the revolution". Lawd.
Lisa, Wendy, and Susannah's constant playing of albums by those artists may have made Prince like those acts more, but they certainly didn't introduce any of them to him. So I get what you're saying, moonshine, it was just poorly worded. ~KiKi | |

I hate goddamn Brett Farve. This is a Purple fourm, buddy. Vikings rule. [This message was edited Sat Dec 13 19:06:51 PST 2003 by megamann] | |

Is there any other new music out there? |

I remember an interview with Cat in which she said that she hipped him to The Cocteau Twins.
Oh yeah - he has a BOOTLEG tape of Kate Bush's B-sides in his personal collection if Michael Koppelman is to be believed! http://gaffa.org/moments/2_2j.html It's funny because Prince knew I was a huge KB fan. He was too, but not like me. The first time I asked him if he liked Kate Bush he said, she's my favorite woman. I also made him a tape of all the KB b-sides, which fucking rule. | |

Yep - I think whilst he was touring mainland Europe. ALT+PLS+RTN: Pure as a pane of ice. It's a gift. |
