If I could, tell me what you think of the following songs (written after 88):

Come
Space
Dark
Letitgo
Billy Jack Bitch
I Hate U
The Same December
Sex In The SUmmer
The Love We Make
Ripopgodazippa
Acknowledge Me
Interactive
What's My Name
Strays Of the World
Days of WIld
The Entire TRUTH Record
The Greatest Romance Ever SOld
I Love U but I don't Trust U Anymore
Come On
Mad Sex
The One
Wasted Kisses
Freaks on this side
The Exodus Record

There are still great songs coming out of this guy.

>>D'arby, Kravitz, and now D'angelo to
>>name just a few.
>>All of these guys were
>>supposed to be the next
>>PRINCE. And everybody failed
>>to meet their expectations.
>
>your expectations you mean?
>

No, the xpectations of a lot of people. After Sly came Prince and Rick James. After Prince... is there anyone to come? As many publications say, D'angelo is next. Try not to act as though you don't what I'm talking about. Please. You know, who's gonna carry the torch next. I hope you know what I mean.

>well, that's you. oh mighty person
>of music. i can name
>a zillion cats who are--um...losing
>sleep over voodoo. should i
>name one 4 u?

Okay, name a "zillion cats" who are um... losing sleep over voodoo! I am common folk. I have common folk friends. I have common folk impressions. None of us are losing sleep over how great Voodoo is. When I first heard the Controversy record, I was blown away by how "cool" it sounded. I loved hearing the Prince-ly noises. The ones that seperated him from the others. I think you know what I mean. This guys was from anothe world. D'angelo record, on the other hand. Well I won't comment any further on it.


>well to compare a person to
>another is mistake number one.
>i think venus williams is great.
>i think jimi hendix is
>great. but i'd never compare
>the two.

Come On Quest!! Your example tries to relate two different experts from two different fields. Not Fair to either of them. Comparing one musician to the next... now that's not that bad is it?

>name 10 albums that sound like
>voodoo. 10!

Name five amazing songs on Voodoo? Okay, maybe Voodoo has its own sound in present day company but are there any good songs on the record. What made Prince's music cool as that it sounded different and the songs were good. You know what I mean?

I live in TOronto, Canada. I play guitar. I don't know anybody here that loves the Voodoo record the way you love it. There are a couple of songs that stick out in a lot of people's minds and they are:

Feel Like Makin Love
Left and Right

Everything really doesn't... well, sounds bland. Let's hear something fresh.
