@Lloyd_Cole @Baddiel Ironically, Prince was a huge fan of Joni's.

@Baddiel I tried Blue years ago. I think I'm done. No music is great for everyone, except Prince's.

So, I listened to The Hissing Of Summer Lawns. Or I should say, I tried to. I made it all the way through maybe 4 tracks. I can hear what some ears might love in it. But it left me mostly cold. The singing was less annoying than I was expecting. The harmonies more. The OTT bass playing on track 1 would have had 23 yr old me stop listening completely. I wondered who produced it? Who OK'd that? She did.

I like the early work of Lenny Kravitz, like his debut album. Who's with me? open.substack.com/pub/jimmymook/…
