Prince.

There. I said it.
I agree...but I'm not from Minnesota.  And honestly, nobody is "like" him in the mainstream, so I didn't say him, because I'm not sure if I should like him for any reason other than lots of others do, because I don't know anyone like him I do like

Man I really can't imagine not liking Prince.

But I also really can't stand the Rolling Stones and I'm sure there are people that don't understand how THAT is possible, so there you have it.  It takes all kinds.

Pardon me?
You like them?  Every shitty house party I went to in college was playing them.  I liked a lot of other similar bands that were played at shitty college house parties, but Incubus was an immediate walk out

Well played.
I hate them so much that I missed it, and I'm glad I did.  Screw them

I'm a big hair metal/glam rock fan too, of course.  But, I'd expect Poison-hate before Crue-hate.  I personally like Poison but I always considered them a Motley Crue-Lite.


There were two kinds of Hair Metal. That which was actually passable as metal; Motley Crue, Guns and Roses, Quiet Riot, etc. and then those that were just pop bands with a hair metal look; Poison and all the W bands, winger, wasp, whitesnake, warrant, etc.

My opinion of Prince is probably tainted by the fact that I grew up in a household that ran on a steady diet of country and bluegrass, and I came of age when he was perceived as an eccentric crank that was going through a weird symbol phase, not knowing that it was the result of his legendary contract fight with Warner Brothers.

I was a month old on the weekend that Prince had the #1 song, movie, and album in America. Missed the boat on that one.

"But they're from Minnesota!" is a crutch used to support some really awful music. The Replacements and Husker Du are bands the music snobs in this town love, but sound like two raccoons fornicating in a wool sock.

Also, my opinion of Prince might change if I didn't hear "Raspberry Beret" hourly on just about every real station in this town.

That's why ELA doesn't like Bob Seger

Ha!  Fair enough.  I'm old enough that I wasn't really going to "house parties" during their tenure.  And they didn't get much (any?) club play.

I like Prince well enough I guess, but when I was in HS the girls took Phys Ed on one side of the gym and the boys the other.

There was always a 4-6 week stretch during the year when the girls would do aerobics to music. Two of those songs were “I Would Die 4 U” and “Little Red Corvette.” I know there had to be others but those songs stick out so vividly to me.  For 4 years in HS, there was always a month stretch where I heard those songs every damn day.  It just kinda ruined Prince for me.

If I hear one of those songs now I immediately go back to playing dodge ball in gym class and glancing down at the other end of the gym and seeing girls half heartedly doing a poorly choreographed aerobics routine to them.

Bob Mould is a musical genius.

Is there any "current" music or group anyone here likes at all?  Or even knows about?
