"Prince ... I just never got the attraction there. Didn't think he was talented at all. I couldn't get past all the screeching."
- Actual quote, co-worker, moments ago
:::Serenity now:::
Music is certainly personal. But ... I hate people.

Mrs. Beez just recently started listening to Zeppelin, beyond classic rock airplay. . She'd heard their music. I got her to dig a little deeper and she's really enjoying it. Maybe 2 weeks ago, I said something about that Lincoln Center Honors performance where Ann and Nancy Wilson front the "Stairway" performance. I mentioned something about Zeppelin and England ...
Mrs. Beez: "Wait. Led Zeppelin is British?"
We didn't speak for 2 days.

Willing to bet your coworker doesn't like much of anything from that genre...
OR
Is uncomfortable with Prince's sexuality. Dude DID lay it on thick. Some people just can't handle that.
I'd rather listen to nails on a chalkboard than the Beatles, but you cant say they weren't "talented". That's just dopey.
We both strongly agree on the genius of Jimmy Page.
But someone saying he or she didn't like his music? That's personal taste.
But Prince seriously was a terrible actor.
The guy gave away songs to to girls he liked--Manic Monday, The Glamorous Life, Sugar Walls, etc. And he wrote songs that were huge hits for others--I Feel for You, Nothing Compares to You, etc.
And of course, Jungle Love.

Most of what I listen to is punk or metal, but I think Prince is terrific. Pretty much the only pop music I've ever liked. He wrote terrific songs and was an immensely talented musician.
and that video he did w those two birds pulling their clothes off and making out w them...priceless.

This!
What I hate most is that I never "got" him. Maybe that's what pisses me off most of all - that's it's my fault, not his...

Those are actually recorded at his Restaurant, Daryl's House, up here in Pawling, NY, not at his home studio. Though they are usually recorded when the restaurant is not open to the public, and they clear all the tables out for the recorded sessions. But it's a great place to see a show. I've seen a few bands there. It's a nice sounding room. Food is pretty good too. Well worth checking out.

Zepp. I feel like if a girlie gets Thank You in the ears she's done. Or Fool in the Rain. Among many others...
