It's an image worth pondering for a moment. Maybe, when you cut past the instrumental and songwriting virtuosity, the funny voices and characters, what is left is a man alone in his recording studio for days at a time.
I don't know how influential Prince is or was. But he is regarded as one of the best songwriters ever, and is apparently a decent, not great, musician with MANY instruments.
Especially your comments about growing out of something when you get older.
My mother is 44 (today is her birthday), 24 years older than I. Guess who it was through that I started listening to a lot of the music that I like? My mother. I remember listening to bands like Nirvana and Faith No More when I was 3-4 years old. My mom's told stories of my brother dancing to the Sex Pistols and Ramones when he was three years old. That's what I grew up on. I had Radiohead, Tool, System of a Down, RATM CDs when they came out, even though I was a kid. 20 years later, what does my mom still like and listen to? Faith No More, System of a Down, Black Sabbath, and Weezer are her favorite bands. Apparently she didn't 'grow out of it' as she got older, as she and I still have the same tastes in music.
Lana, let's be fair. Three or four? I actually remember you telling me that you knew your Mum liked them and that you hadn't bothered listening to them until I started speaking about them.
No, you're missing the point.
Bobby thinks that because he likes someone, they are either underrated or overrated. He believes The Who are UNDERRATED just because they aren't generally rated as high as he would like.

Well I would say most peoples taste changes if your mum likes listening to the same music she used to thats cool. Music will always be subjective. Faith No More truly are not a great band. Lana I hate to say it your mum is 5 years older than me and you are really very young, your taste will probably change, but if it doesn't that's cool you'll save a fortune in buying Cd's, Downlods or whatever format music format exists then. So you share a taste in music with AC. Thats cool, It's your fashion.

The same could be said of Faith no more AC in your opinion. You think they are underrated, I cannot believe you have them in your mind on a level with the Beatles.

I never said they are underrated, they're under-recognised for their influence, and they are. You don't realise the extent to which they influence and the proof is that you don't listen to much modern music. Your tactic? You pass it off as fashion. You're ignorant and contrary to your own belief, you're not too well versed on music as I've proven many times before. You're just bitten that a young guy such as myself continues to upstage you.
Lana, barely anyone appreciates music by name at 3-4 outside of subconsciously and even then it's just rhythm. You didn't dance to FNM and think "Oh mad, FNM, truly credible music by great musicians" at 3 or 4. You may very well have liked the music, but anything else is just an overstretch.
As I've gotten older it's sorta changed so that now I largely influence her tastes now. Like, she likes Incubus because she heard me listening to them 5 or 6 years back and thought they sounded good.
Though we both equally hate many things - like Coldplay.
Well, duh, and I'm not saying anything else. Just pointing out that for the most part, I'm still listening to the same stuff I have since childhood, and that I was listening to that stuff because of my mom.
I have my 4 and 2 year old siblings dancing to SOAD all the time
Whoa, whoa, whoa....whether I'm incorrect or correct about bands being underrated or overrated has nothing to do with my liking/disliking for them, AC. Generally speaking, it makes sense however that for someone you (anyone) think to be underrated, you have to actaully like/respect them.
Now, it is possible that I might be misinformed or delusional, but to say that my opinion of someone being underrated or overrated is tied to my liking or distate for them is not necessarily true. It all depends....case by case scenario.
