Prince, baby!
I love me some Prince. Kravitz is too much of a poseur and I'm indifferent to Hendrix.

I have to admit, I cracked myself up putting Kravitz up with Prince and Hendrix
:lol:
I came online especially for this :o :D I guess that makes me a Band Face Off addict.
Oh boy. Kravitz is out, that's easy. I detest Lenny Kravitz. Ugh.
But will I vote Prince or Hendrix? Have to think about that for a while. Bring on your arguments for both.

Hendrix. I detest the other two. Although Let Love rule and Sign o' the times are very nice albums

Wow, most people I know consider Sign O' The Times a work of genius. I prefer Parade myself, but Prince in his prime was simply amazing to me.
Kravitz I've never rated, which is why it made me chuckle to include him with two artists he's obviously emulated over the years.
I do love Hendrix but I just had to vote for the Purple One!

Hate Kravitz.
Hendrix...doesn't do it for me.
Prince it is....He has some kick ass songs. Songs to play on the jukebox and get drunk to. :woohoo:
Ooh, Sharon's kissing me! *gigles* :p
Hmmmm... I leaning towards Prince, now.

Prince, he's been one of the most influential musical artists in the last 20 years, IMO.

Yes Sign O' the times IS a masterpiece I must admit. But I hate almost everything about the man: his posing, his attitude towards sex (when I look at that man OR listen to him I don't want to f*ck for a week!!.....Maybe even two weeks), and his total sell-out of his talents. The man plays bass like a madman, plays drums with so much funk you want to bite your arm off and what does he do? He uses sythesized discobeats and syndrums, uses alot of keys for bassounds and that total overdrived high voice makes me wanna throw up, because it lacks emotion. His writing's great though. Apart from the lyrics. And the overthetop baroqueness of everything is really disgusting for me. Hendrix invented what he copies in playing the guitar. He's great at it but incomparable to the master himself. Prince is 100 % a Hendrix-addict.

Maybe Romy, But Hendix is one of the most influential musical artists in the last 40 years, IMO. He fueled prince's influence, for instance :shrug: .

I agree, but Prince had a more tangible influence on my approach to music since when I started buying records.

This was a tough one to decide on because I <i>like</i> all of them but am not a huge fan of any of them. In the end I chose Lenny Kravitz and had three reasons for doing so:
1) I know more of his songs than those of Prince or Jimi Hendrix
2) I really enjoy his collaboration with Tom Petty (see "You Come Through" on Petty's Playback box set)
3) He has a really nice ass. :nod:

They're both their magnum opuses (generally and critically considered to be so anyway) and I think Ladyland is stronger than Times, that's all I was saying.
