Inversions are good.

This is great! Get to the guts of it.

Some people want flattened thirds and sevenths, others dislike consecutive fifths in their harmonies. And like you mentioned, there’s cadences to deal with.

That’s before dynamics and lyrics are dealt with.

Music has many dimensions, perhaps some are more relevant/judged than others, to different people?

like parts of the tongue?

It's very late - during a terrible, sleepless night - but I'll try from my personal perspective. To me it's about how the music has a certain flowing, waving character with perfect placement of rhythmic and chordal elements. I think I hear how Prince really hears the musical driving forces in his head before writing them down, and feels them with great sensitivity and sense of balance.

With many other hit artists, I think I hear how they struggle with the material and are not really able to convey more than a rough idea (nice and great as that may be, and my iPod is filled with them), and many artists lend their often called "unique sound" from their severe limitations.

Not so with Prince. He reminds me of Mozart and partially of Green Gartside (Scritti Politti).

This post should've been much longer and with analytical depth, but I have to give up now. Hope it helps somewhat.

Thank you!

Just wonder what people hear in him? 

Can anyone show me a great prince song and explain why it is so good? 

I fully support this thread!

I once had a bed that was a door stretched over two cabs. Space was at a premium!

At the risk of being controversial, you say your first run through sounded brilliant, so why would you want to change it to make a more slavishly accurate copy? Part of what may have made it sound so great was you as a band feeling it and enjoying it. I'd stick with your own take on it.

This.

Playing covers is cheating?

Free beer.

What exactly is a dream? And what exactly is a joke?
