What Are You Listening To?

My daughter saw Prince here two months ago and he blew the roof off !!!!..quite the live show I gather !!!!

PRINCE "the hits/the b-sides" cd,1993.

this is a triple best of set containing 56 singles both "A" and "B" sides..form the looks of the songs overall i'd say disc two is my favourite, but im doing disc one now...
Prince has to be one of the most eclectic musicians in rock history, either as an artist or writer of hits for other people...
there seems to be nothing he hasnt done..
this disc contains mostly early singles and i prefer his more experimental sonds than these falsetto type disco songs, but they arent too bad overall, this disc does contain the original version of "nothing compares 2 U" which was a huge hit for Sinead O'Connor...her version is far superior to His Majesty's version.
but at least this disc does contain "lets go crazy" and "1999".
unfortunately for Prince he was always up against Michael Jackson in the 1980s and always played second fiddle to him, but IMO Prince is just as good if not better than MJ...until he changed his name to that stupid squiggly symbol thing!!!!!
not posting links for this one, we all know the songs and we either like or dislike prince, those who like him will have or know the songs those that dont will not be swayed by my links anyway!
