Also, I'm curious about why you associate a pop sound to him. His songs don't really seem like pop music to me. They may have become popular, but I'm struggling to think of one that qualifies based on my understanding of pop music--maybe Kiss? Bowie in the 80s fits the same bill. Just because the songs become wildly popular, doesn't make them pop music.

Dude could hold a room. These are fun to watch:

Kiss, 1999, Doves Cry, Purple Rain. All heavily produced, slick, pop sounds.

Bowie goes in and out of pop, his interest in it waxes and wanes, but I would agree that he has some very pop music along the way.

I've heard more prince in the last few days than I had in 20 years; I try to learn a bit at times like this, because ultimately there something to like in almost all music, but he is an artist that never caught me in the past, so thanks for sharing these.

I'll give you Kiss and When Doves Cry. But I don't think 1999 or Purple Rain fit the bill.

No matter.

I saw Miles in 1990. It remains my most profound live music experience. He drew a lot from the Tutu album. It was amazing.

I loved both Prince and Bowie, and listened to both lots in HS. Prince's death has hit me harder, I think mostly because he was younger. Also, although Bowie was actively recording during my HS years, his most ground-breaking work was recorded in the 1970s. 1999 and Purple Rain were right smack in the middle of HS for me. While the "edgy" theater kids were listening to a lot of (old, pre-MTV) Bowie on their own time, Prince was the soundtrack for school dances, cruising around listening to the radio, etc., and was therefore more of a collective experience.

Goodell should have knocked the suspension down, let them keep their draft picks and Brady and Gillette should have agreed to it and shut the fuck up. The whole thing has turned into a farce.

FWIW, the track Purple Rain on the album was recorded live at a benefit concert. There are some overdubs and it was cut from over 11 minutes to 8:45 for the album and down to 4:05 for the radio, but by and large the mix you hear is the mix on the soundboard in 1983.

Prince was an amazing pop writer (Raspberry Beret, for example, is a great pop song), but I'd say that Purple Rain is a combo of rock, gospel, R&B and pop, and sort of defies single genre.

And the guitar intro for Doves Cry doesn't have a genre other than inhuman.

Agreed - it looks more like WWE than NFL*. Whatever may or may not have happened its really hard to understand how the league benefits from sticking it to a marquee player and team (yes, I understand also "a thoroughly hated player and team") based on the purported violation.


*Or what we think is trying to be a legitimate sports league.

I can't figure out who in their right mind is going to let their kids play football anymore anyways given what we know about concussion injury now. Maybe the WWE doesn't look so bad.
