Just wanted to make a thread about Kauko Röyhkä. http://fi.wikipedia.org/w...o_Röyhkä

I will put up a few songs that are on youtube, I want to hear anybody's opinion about this guy,

this guy really is on the same level with prince. He's been an artist for many years but finnish people never really "get" his music. Put anyways, he does name prince as an influence to his music.

Almost all his music is on spotify "kauko röyhkä" or "kauko royhka".

There is some strange similarity with kauko's and with prince's music on some songs. I mean they

both really have a unique style and the melodies somehow touches the same way. Of course they are both really different sounding artists but they do have some songs that have a similar pattern of melody or something. for example prince's "dinner with delores" is the closest to kauko's older songs.

Excuse me for my english.

And he's also a musical genious, he has written and played all the melodies with guitar and everything, just like prince. Except for a few songs that really aren't even my favourite ones.

EDITING: I found more examples of kauko röyhkä on youtube:
