General Music Chat

I gotta roll with Planet on this one. Prince was a highly talented musician and songwriter and produced a lot of work in his lifetime. I just never cared for most of it. Techno-pop is one of my least favorite styles and Prince boilerplated it.

My favorite Prince memory was his hall of fame performance with Tom Petty doing While My Guitar Gently Weeps. It was an epic solo that fit perfectly into that moment in time. Everybody else was playing it really straight and Prince just let the dogs out. Tom kept looking over like "is he done yet? Nope, going around again!" I loved that one.
