I'd say he's over-rated from what I've heard but I can't say he's shit as there's a number of songs I like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the best musicians. producers and song writers of all time I won't argue about his musicianship, I can't say I've ever paid attention to it because the music is so uninspiring. As a producer, meh. Writer, meh. I said his music is overrated and shit. Maybe shit is a little strong but I find his whole musical schtick insipid and boring generally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing Compares 2 U, I would Die 4 U, Sexy MF, Gold, all different all great. Amazing live performer, and you should check out the Grammy Tribute they did for George Harrison or his Superbowl half time show. An absolute masterclass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Houchen Posted August 10, 2018 Author Share Posted August 10, 2018 Just now, FelatioLips said: Purple Rain is utter crap. The song? No The Album? No The Film? Fuck yes.  I'm a massive fan of Prince, I'd say he had the best run of albums by an artist there has ever been (1999 to Lovesexy), but if someone doesn't like him then they don't like him, fair enough.  It doesn't affect my love and enjoyment of his music. But to just dismiss his ability and artistry because you don't like the few songs you've heard is a bit silly (Not you, TripleA) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members FLips Posted August 10, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 10, 2018 Raspberry Beret is ace, Beck played it when I went to go see him. Like a few more of his songs but never enjoyed Purple Rain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted August 10, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 10, 2018 Spitting. Picking Noses. Farting Not as fussed as some are. Donât get me wrong, in donât love it and I avoid doing it (spitting). However, if Iâve got a cold or soar throat and Iâm out and about, iâll spit if needs be (as discrete as possible, in to a Bush, drain, alley etc). Or playing footy etc, sometimes you simply have clear the crap out. Just like picking your nose or farting, not pleasant, but it really doesnât bother me the way some people seem to feel about it. Youâve got to get that shit out, and sometimes youâre caught short (no tissues etc). In regards to spitting, Iâm not on about the daftys who spit through their teeth as if itâs an addiction/OCD, while stood with their crew and staffys down the bus stop.

As a producer, meh. Writer, meh. I said his music is overrated and shit. Maybe shit is a little strong but I find his whole musical schtick insipid and boring generally. If Miles Davis is a fan of your music you have to be doing something right His shit was the most exciting music I was hearing in 1982,â Davis wrote in his brilliant 1990 autobiography. âHere was someone who was doing something different, so I decided to keep an eye on him.â Heâs got that church thing up in what he does,â Davis continued in his autobiography. âHe plays guitar and piano and plays them very well. But itâs the church thing that I hear in his music that makes him special, and that organ thing. Itâs a black thing and not a white thing. Prince is like the church to gay guys. Heâs the music of the people who go out after ten or eleven at night. He comes in on the beat and plays on top of the beat. I think when Prince makes love he hears drums instead of Ravel. So heâs not a white guy. His music is new, is rooted, reflects and comes out of 1988 and â89 and â90. For me, he can be the new Duke Ellington of our time if he just keeps at it.â Everyones music taste is different so if you're not a fan, that's OK. But that Prince isn't a good producer - he wrote, produced & arranged his first album all on his own like an established veteran. Plus he's produced Larry Graham, George Clinton, Mavis Staples, Chaka Khan among others. As a songwriter Sinead O'Connor, The Bangles, Chaka Khan to name but a few have had hit songs from songs Prince has written. Plus he essentially created his own competition with The Time, Vanity 6, Mazarati, Apollonia 6, Andre Cymone. Not only that but influenced many artists https://www.telegraph.co.uk/music/artists/from-madonna-to-muse-the-bangles-to-beyonc--no-modern-pop-act-es/ http://www.dazeddigital.com/music/article/30866/1/how-prince-influenced-a-generation-of-musicians He has who knows how many songs recorded in the vault (estimated to be in the hundreds), played a multitude of instruments, was a fantastic performer (one good example is the Sign O The Times concert) and if anything all things considered what Prince means to the music industry is actually probably underrated. Thanks to him & MJ they got black artists music videos played on the predominantly white MTV of the time too. So Princes place in musical history shouldn't be downplayed & understated when you take everything into account. You don't have to like someone's music to respect their contributions to their craft and in my opinion Prince was and still is one of the greatest artists of all time.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted August 10, 2018 Author Share Posted August 10, 2018 I think that's the longest Miles goes in his autobiography without referring to someone as a motherfucker. Â Brilliant book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
