The org should even things out once and for all with a D&P vs. Nevermind thread.  It is a bit of a crazy comparison though as Diamonds & Pearls is one of Prince's most middle-of-the-road, bland and formulaic albums...!  Shut up already, damn. | |

Tom said: Dave Grohl is a big Prince fan, so it wouldn't suprise me of Kurt was too. Though I thought I thought I read on here at one point that Prince was a little miffed at all the hype over Nevermind, since he was gearing up to make his comeback with Diamonds & Pearls around that time.
Why was Prince miffed at the hype ? Is Nevermind not his thing? Shut up already, damn. | |

Why was Prince miffed at the hype ? Is Nevermind not his thing? closest he got to it was with "the gold experience", but that was after his pop hits wern't getting the sales he wanted. By 1993, his sorta pop music was dead. He moved on. (then moved back again) | |

I remember reading Prince saying something along the lines of 'I knew they couldn't last with that kind of music' meaning that an artist can't sustain the kind of aggresive energy that Nirvana had.
I think Kurt knew that as well because I remember reading an interview with Kurt in the NME after In Utero came out that he couldn't see himself making more than one more album with the band. Dave Grohl is definitely a fan (has covered Purple Rain, Darling Nikki and Drive Me Wild) but at the same time I read a quote where they couldn't relate to Prince's isolating 'rock star' persona. | |

i bought it back in the day, when it first knocked MJ off the charts. i still love this album and in utero, too. heck, i love bleach and the unplugged album, too. their stuff was completely listenable. grunge, schmunge. it was good, melodic pop music. | |

It was the first album that was of my time. I was waiting for an album like that to come out and it made that time feel like the most important time in music instead of looking back to the past like 'oh-wish-I-was-around-when-the-beatles-zeppelin-sex-pistols-were-around' b.s
It borrows from all the above and blends it together and makes it better. Of course ther are tons of other albums that were great and important and probably more creatively influential but the way that album hit was really amazing. Every part of that band was perfect. I adore Kurt's voice, he's a great lyricist, he has a beautiful tone on his guitar he wrote fantastic hooks, they had the best drummer, and their basslines were fantastic as well. It's been said a zillion times since but they were such a great band. | |

Do you think that Prince thought that about his own music aswell? Shut up already, damn. | |

I bought it used about 4 years ago, never listen to it...   I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it | |

I had it only on cassette at first, but eventually got it on CD. I never listen to it anymore, mainly because they are not really one of my favorite bands of that era. It's a really good album though and brings me back to certain moments of my life at that time. I'd much rather listen to bands I find more interesting in that whole scene, like Jane's Addiction, Soundgarden, and Alice in Chains. 
Maybe I'll pull it out today though, because I totally forgot about it.  "I saw a woman with major Hammer pants on the subway a few weeks ago and totally thought of you." - sextonseven | |

I still listen to it. I just don't really get sick of it, even Smells Like Teen Spirit. I'm amazed how fresh it sounds 10 years later. I compare that to how a 1982 record sounded in 1992, and I can't imagine something sounding so fresh still. Maybe Abbey Road still sounded fresh in 1979, I don't know. Damn, I'm getting old!
I think it's one of the best rock albums ever. Check this song out at:
