I was listening to "Prince: The Hits" while painting my daughter's room yesterday. I noted a couple of things. Prince sounds so 80's. Every gimmick that came along, he tossed on his records. There were so many weird noises, my dog barked almost non-stop. I also chuckled at the thought of "Soft and Wet" being sold by his heirs to Porter Paints for a home reno ad! Finally, he should have been covered more. I prefer the other artists' versions of "Nothing Compares to U" and "I feel for You". Prince was a great songwriter with somewhat questionable taste as a producer in my opinion. It almost feels like the way people justify John Mayer's lack of other substance by saying "He's a helluva guitar player". His solo at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is like that for me. It's pretty good but I almost expect the jizz to come out of his guitar like in "Purple Rain" to ruin the poignancy!
