Very unfortunate.
For the record, the Prince version is much, much, much better. But that would be expected from the greatest musical talent of all time.
Not a fan, but she was part of the culture for a while and definitely brings back memories of times gone by. She'll always have her mark in history.
God speed.
God speed.
I think Prince is an amazing artist (yes, one of the greatest of all time), but I like Sinead's version better.
RIP Sinead.
The bald woman who wouldn't perform US concerts if our National Anthem was played before and who said she hated Christians and Jews, tore up the Pope's picture on national TV, and generally spent he life hating on people and institutions on a daily basis. She was not at peace in life, maybe she is now.
She certainly did. Very early in her career, she teamed up with the Chieftains on a version of The Foggy Dew that will rip your heart out:
Sorry to say I only made it 20 seconds into the vocals before I puked and had to quit listening.
Supposed to say "no accounting for taste I guess".
But how the **** could you not like Chris Cornell vocals. Was a vocals God.
Oh and Hendrix was better than Prince.
I certainly wouldn't want to be the next artist to record "Nothing Compares 2 U" since the three previous artists all died too soon.
As I frequently tell my wife, "I would like to agree with you, but that would make us both wrong. And that just doesn't seem right."
Is it kind of strange 3 popular versions of that song by 3 different popular artist and all 3 dead and at a relatively young age. All before 60
Wrong how?As I frequently tell my wife, "I would like to agree with you, but that would make us both wrong. And that just doesn't seem right."
Cornell a God. Or Hendrix better than Prince?
And I've got to know besides obviously Prince, who else do you like?
Goodness gracious. It is a joke. I love Prince. Never been a fan of Hendrix. Hendrix doesn't do anything for me, although I recognize it does for others. I like some of Hendrix's songs. Prince created an extraordinary amount of all kinds of music. A veritable one stop shop for music. The Youtube video I listened to of Cornell (never heard of him before until about 6-8 hours ago) did not make me think I was missing out on anything.
My Spotify playlist is not very extensive, but I'm old and don't care much for the last 20 years of the music industry. No variation. I have a lot of Prince, Queen, Led Zeppelin, George Thorogood, Barry White, The English Beat, General Public (a.k.a. English Beat). Lynrd Skynrd, Talking Heads, The Cure, Falco, Gordon Lightfoot, and a bunch of mostly one-hit wonders from the 80s / 90s, and 00s. The music I listen to depends on the mood I'm in. Prince has songs that hit every mood, which is why he is a genius.
For many people, choosing between Hendrix and Prince is kind of like choosing between the 95 Huskers and the 71 Huskers as the best CFB team of all time. It is only those 2 in the discussion -- and then all others are a distant third (regardless of what Herbstreit says).
Sort of like The Ring. But instead of watching a video, you sing "Nothing Compares...." then you're dead.
I get you were joking. Just messing with you.
Same on modern music and sticking with select stuff as well.
You'd probably heard some Chris Cornell and just not known it. Most famous for fronting Soundgarden. Also fronted Audioslave which is one of my favorites. Cornell with the guitar, drums and bass from Rage Against the Machine.
Rumor is “nothing compare to you” was to Anthony. And when you hear that and pair it with I should have lied, you understand their end
