I love Beck's Debra.

I Think The Stone's Black and Blue album has some great Prince like grooves.

I agree, and also "Holding On To You" from the same CD.

Hella Good--No Doubt

Those sound nothing like Prince's stuff to me. Maybe some other TTD cuts, but definitely not those two. The melodic motifs are completely different, Prince couldn't have come up with anything like them.

Holding Onto You always reminded me of The Morning Papers.

I gaz most of Wendy & Lisa's Fruit At The Bottom.

NDRU said:

i can see where you're comin from but wouldn't you agree that "Holding Onto To You" is the better song- by far.

Axchi696 said:

Heartily agree. I've always thought that.

wavesofbliss said:

I wouldn't say either one is much better than the other. I might say that Terence has a greater flair for lyrics when he doesn't let it get out of control.

Michael Stipe's falsetto in "Tongue" always reminded me of Prince, and the lyrics definitely could've been written by the little man.

1)Ready For The World-"Oh Sheila"

2)Jaguar Wright- "I Can't Wait"

3)D'Angelo- "Untitled (How Does It Feel)"

I have blended "Dorothy Parker" & "I Can't Wait" in the club...works like a charm!!! It's essentially Dorothy Parker 1 1/2!!!! Surprisingly to this day people STILL THINK "Oh Sheila" is Prince.....IDIOTS!!!!! "Untitled"???? Nothing else needs to be said!!!!!

Michael Jackson - Superfly Sister

(I heard this from some reviewer or something saying that it sounded like a Prince B-Side or something and I agree )

Eva Cassidy - Who Knows Where the Time Goes
MeShell Ndegeocello - The Way
MeShell Ndegeocello - God Fear & MOney

You said Eva Cassidy. I now love you.

u2prnce said:

That little bit at the end should've earned Prince a co-writing credit, at least for "inspiration".

madonna's first two records. for real.

sallysassalot said:

i'll co-sign. some of her most interesting music until 'ray of light'

wavesofbliss said:

If "Holiday" counts as a track on one of her first two albums, I'll partially agree.

As much as I don't normally dig Madonna's music, I love that jam!

It would be so nice.....
