AMAZON tells me that;

Customers who bought music by Prince also bought music by these artists:

Soul 2 Soul
Michael Jackson
Kylie Minogue
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Nelly Furtado

Soul II Soul; okay; proofs Prince fans like soul music (pay attention to Miss Wheeler's participation on Me'shell's new album Cookie)

MJ; sad, sad, sad.

Kylie; are all Prince fans gay or what?

RHCP; these I can allow.

Nelly; just a new girl with a special voice that will be liked one summer and then forgotten about.

And the people who bought The Greatest Hits of Warner;

Customers who bought this title also bought:

The Immaculate Collection ~ Madonna
Glitter [SOUNDTRACK] ~ Mariah Carey
Music from the Motion Picture "Purple Rain" [SOUNDTRACK] ~ Prince & the Revolution
Greatest Hits ~ Billy Idol

GLITTER???

"One man's copper is another man's gold"
---Prince,1998

Not me. I have not bought any of this music. I think it's all crap except for maybe the Peppers. Kylie just about makes me sick and Nelly is very unintersting. I just bought the latest by Wyclef. Now there's some talent. Granted it may not be everyone's taste, but he does have talent.

When talking about Amazon sales it seems you have to take into consideration the casual fanbase of any artist.

Soul II Soul was cool way back when.

Excuse me, but Glitter was all about mid-80s funk, with help from Rick James and Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis. Even Prince himself was going to be a part of it, so like MC Lyte said "Shut The Eff Up (Hoe)"!

Eye have very good taste and by the way, the only kind of music eye buy is PRINCE music!

WORD!

I ain't got beef wit you Cinister if you don't like the movie, but the SOUNDTRACK??? Sistah girl know how to bring the Minneapolis sound. My only beef wit her is not including that Prince track in the LP, hope she put it in her next effort,,,I REALLY HOPE SO.

Then, my dear Paisley, you should venture out a bit more as there is a WHOLE world out there for you to be discovered.
Here are some nice tips...

Paisley said:

thats some sad shit. I am speechless. how can somebody ignore the beauty of true artistry by limiting him/herself to one product? its like eating the same dish every day for the rest of your life... that canot be healthy, neither for your body nor your soul.

soulpower said:

WTF Soulpower??? That's like spending the rest of your life with the same person! :shock:

Please do your ritual mating dance in another thread!

It just proves Prince is still listened by the masses (understand: the non-Funky people) & that he is still a popular artist.

Despite SoulIISoul I don't get any recordings by these "artists" (gimme a break with the Peppers!),
I'm into F.U.N.K.

REDFEATHERS said:

Sorry u feel that way but that's how eye'am, eye sticks by my man!

Paisley said:

Your taste can't B THAT good then. If he's ALL U buy.

feltbluish said:

If u dont think he's that great then y do u come 2 this site? Now that say's what?

Paisley said:

I said absolutely nothing about my taste 4 Prince! I remarked on your limited appreciation of the gigantic world of artistry that Prince is included in.

Do U know that there R probably artists that Prince LOVES!!! hmmm, I wonder if they'd B anyone U'd like?

No matter how great one artist is or WHO he/she is; if you only listen to one your listening is limited, as is your appreciation for the huge diversity of music in general. If Prince only listened to one artist his music wouldn't cover as much ground as it does. Same goes for movie directors, painters, etc. And loving a lot of different music doesn't necessarily equate to Prince not being someone's favorite.

Well eye guess were all different in r own ways!

feltbluish said:

Show me some respect and eye'll show u some!

The Peppers ROCK!!!

but I agree.. the others named are aweful.. what a combo?

Paisley said:

I anderstand where you comin from Paisly, I mean I have a LOT of cds by respected artists(Crutis-Stevie-Anita-Marvin-Mariah-Lauryn) but I lost the intrest on them and started listening to Prince music only.

Harlepolis said:

FYI, Mariah isn't classified as a respected artist

Harlepolis said:

Thank u 4 understanding me, it's nice 2 know there r some real nice people on this site!

Paisley said:

Hey Paisley, take a stroll through this.

http://www.prince.org/msg...&tid=20902

It is my un updated list from one and a half year back, not including Prince things, cd-singles or compilations.
Or my classical collection.
But take a stroll; Prince listens to alot of different music styles and it is fun to trace his music back.
I mean; listening to G.C.S. (the ones in my list) and you understand like on what band he based The Revolution. Listening to Miles Davis makes you understand where Madhouse came from. etc etc
Don't be afraid to venture out, but, if just Prince suits you fine, that is okay too!

Goo threads softly not even the MTV Unplugged version of "I'll Be There" or "All I Want For Christmas"???
Cuzza I like those lots still, even though her latest outing were ahem CRAP

mmm...so Of The Wall, Thriller, Dangerous r all sad, sucky, afwul crap? Or u guys can't get over u'r predjudice, or some prince fans don't have any taste at all.

Kylie is pretty crappy though, and Nelly...who is Nelly?

Mariah did her thing, she did it quite well from time 2 time, don't own any of her work, but she's ok i guess. RHCP r decent also.

it looks like you cant get over your prejudice about Kylie Minogue either. So you have no grounds to preach.

Stop lyin'. You do not only buy Pince music,
