On more than one occasion, conversations with different Org'ers and browsing threads have influenced my music purchases. I'm guessing I'm not the only one. Which albums have you purchased and who influenced the decision?

Endorphin74:



VoicesCarry:



Harlepolis:



An Orger I Can't Remember :

oh wow, man as you know i was influenced by everything,so its kinda hard to put a finger on just one thing yanno?

TheRealFiness said:

I know what you mean. And while I didn't directly talk to you about it, I did think about you when I purchased this:



Lo and behold, you were the first to respond when I threaded about it. lol

RipHer2Shreds said:

There has been a couple, by whom I dont know but I know about

"Stone Soul Picnic" by 5th Dimention. Some1 posted a thread on this and I downloaded it for the curiosity, now i am SO GLAD they did cuz I love that song.

That is a good one, ain't it? My parents listened to 5th Dimension when I was a kid (just posted in another thread). Deee-Lite sampled that song on a track from Dewdrops in the Garden.

First off, I must commend you on even writting this thread. It says a lot about your character. Sadly, so many people may be impressed by someone's thought process, knowledge of certain topics, etc., but they won't acknowledge it if their life depended on it. Which is too bad, really. My little brother in spirit, Meloh 9 started this band of cats who happens to all be musicians on the org and who all lurk in this section. He called them (The Verge). Meloh, myself, The Audience, Paligap, Psykosoul, Okaypimpin. Not only do we bond because we're all musicians, but because we share very similar tastes in music that goes way outside of Prince. So, we are constantly giving praises to each other and along the way, hipping each other or reminding each other of certain things. And having each others back, so to speak.So, what your thread is about, is sort of what The Verge is about. We do that all time, I think. And by the way, The Ohio Players album, "Honey" was probably clicked on by myself or psykosoul, being we are hardcore Ohio Players fanatics.

if you would listen to me, for once...., y'all be listening to:

I thought the thread asked which purchases were influenced by the org.

The Org only influences my Prince purchases. I got 'The Undertaker' and 'Small Club' CDs based on threads I read in the Prince music forum.

The only other artist I bought since joining the Org that I first saw here was Van Hunt. And that purchase was based on other research I did on him, but yeah the Org mentioned him first.

theAudience said:

Oh yes! I 4got about that one. I was downloading it on Kazaa and it stopped on 12%, now I have WinMX and Im gonna C if it is on here right now

blackguitaristz said:

Funny you say that, cuz I was thinking it was one of the two of you who made the recommendation.

And I always give credit where credit is due. I'd like to think I make all my decisions on my own, but I listen to people's advice in all areas - like the Ohio Players album. I even posted afterwards to say how much I liked it. I was guessing this thread wouldn't get a whole lot of response for the very reason you stated. Time will tell...

RipHer2Shreds said:

Yep.

blackguitaristz said:

SAY WHAT?!?!?!?

psykosoul said:

Haven't seen you in a while.

psykosoul said:

Hey player! I knew I could draw u out!

RipHer2Shreds said:

I had to take a time-out until I learned to play nicely with others

Both Supernova and Manki influenced me to check out (and enjoy)
Mandrill.


And Davideye's continual enthusiasm for EWF has made me appreciate them more.


Im sure Im forgetting a few...

u seem to have this problem with business.. u seem to keep getting in mine

I was always just a casual fan of Bowie, till I saw some of the reverence around him on the Org, which has caused me to check out some of his stuff like Heroes and Station to Station more thoroughly.

My mom got me hooked on Neil Diamond and The Bee Gees though...

David Eye has hipped me to a lot of stuff. I finally picked up Teena Marie's "La Dona" last weekend. It's OK but dammitt, I want some funk by Teena.

Both David Eye and The Real Finess informed me that the long version of Donna Summer's "Love To Love You Baby" was actually on her album and not a 12 Inch. I ordered that right before Halloween and the damned thing still hasn't come in yet.

I bought "Santa Claus Is A Black Man" this past Christmas thanks to The Audience for informing me that it was on a complilation called "A John Water's Christmas".

RipHer2Shreds told me that "I Love You More" was done by Rene and Angela and I picked up their greatest hits CD a few months ago. I'm still looking for Dolly Parton's disco song, "Baby I'm Burnin'".

I also picked up the 2 CD deluxe edition of Diana Ross's "Diana" after hearing such good things about it from RipHer2Shreds and David Eye.

endorphin via anxiety - kimya dawson

chewymusic - trachtenburg family slideshow players and the equation

im sure there are more...this is where i get alot of my music suggestions from.

TheRealFiness said:

Not true.

I picked up D'Angelo's Voodoo when it was being discussed to death on the Org. I tried probably six times to sell it back, and it was in perfect condition. I didn't like it and neither did any of the used record stores I took it to!

Anxiety- Kimya Dawson and The Avalanches

Tron- David Bowie

and about 100 people clued me in on Gewn's solo record. Special thanks to Ripher2Shreds who gave me a sneak peak before my purchase
