Disco was fun,exciting and uptempo.Today's bland R&B can't compare. | |

With the exception of a few songs,Prince's 'ATWIAD' is a disappointing album.
D'Angelo has talent,but he's somewhat overrated. Whitney Houston should quit singing and get a role on one of the daytime soaps. Earth Wind and Fire is my favorite band,but I think it's time for them to call it a day. Covers albums suck! I feel the same way about "tribute" albums. Madonna is still the smartest person in pop music. Mariah Carey should work with producers Thom Bell,Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff and make some REAL soul music for a change. It wouldn't be a bad idea for Prince to work with a producer on his next album. | |

RFTW were the headliners,but I think the Jets put on the most exciting performance. And I just heard Bowlegged Lou on the Tom Joyner Morning Show say that FF is going out on the road after they finish up the TJMS cruise in a few weeks. He kept stressing the House Party 20th anniversary and all that. But I hope that FF puts on their show, and not just act stupid like their characters in the movies. they should call up Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam,too That would be a hot show. | |

Paris9748430 said: I think Michael Jackson is overrated musically, and his prime was the start of pop music focusing more on image than the music itself.
so you are saying that songs like "Billie Jean" aren't musically great but only became a hit because of MJ's image? | |

Heartland Rock SUCKS
80s, 90s and 00s Country SUCKS (despite three or four artists) American Mainstream Pop is DEAD Rock N' Roll is DEAD Blues is DEAD Diana Krall SUCKS European, Asian & African pop music still innovates and entertains... The best artists/bands of the 00s decade have been British or (of course) New Yorkers... | |

It wouldn't be a bad idea for Prince to work with a producer on his next album. i think i'd say Madonna is "media savvy" rather than smart. or on that "subject" she's smart. Hip-hop is NOT to blame for R&B's demise There ARE socially conscious, thought provoking, MCs out there, but if you're expecting them to get radio airplay that's WHY u don't know them. long live the backpacking underground!!! Radiohead, Coldplay, The Beatles AND U2 are all overrated Lil Wayne IS the most overrated artist of at least the last 5 years Prince being produced by someone else is antithetical to him being Prince Patti Labelle never had a great record, singles artist Timbaland is mad talented ('f' dat) Simon Lebon is a great singer Depeche Mode should get credit as pioneers of electronica Gladys Knight is way better vocally than Diana Ross Faith Evans over Mary J. Blige Although it is a misnomer, "Neo Soul" does have INTERESTING artists Joe, Tank, Jaheim, Tyrese, Ginuwine are all interchangeable Boyz II Men should STILL be selling multiplatinum albums so should En Vogue Wanya Morris' is the "obvious" solo record that never happened (when one considers the history of vocal groups) Eminem's record sales would be a third of what they are if he weren't white | |

elmer said: ^ I'd have claimed the involvement of Brian Eno as one mitigating factor but the sod has gone'n produced Coldplay so.....They've recorded flawless albums, their last 2 were patchy but like Prince they'll still be played and lauded a 100 years from now.
frankly i think every song by them sounds the same 'the edge' (btw what a pompous twat you have to be to call yourself that) only ever plays in the same style always | |

Snow was a pretty decent reggae artist/rapper
Red Cafe is boring as hell and needs to go back to wherever it is he came from. Jaime Foxx is a mediocre singer/performer and needs to stick to acting. The Game is an ungrateful summabitch! Keyshia Cole has brought old school soul back for the ladies. Digital Underground was just okay. Do You Think I'm Sexy by Rod Stewart is one of the best disco songs EVER! | |

-Mariah Carey has recorded some of the worst albums ever released with a major label.
-Neil Young's 80s albums are so bad and bizarre that's it's a miracle the guy made a comeback in 1989... -The bulk of Hendrix albums are full of weak songs: not exactly filler, but certainly forgettable songs... -David Bowie > Bob Dylan (in terms of musical value/legacy) -Bruce Springsteen should retire the E Street Band and focus on his folk/roots side... -Lenny Kravitz should be in a fuckin' band; the guy needs the discipline of a band, he runs out of ideas quickly; in addition his voice is fuckin' average... | |
