Version gets me into prince

[DannyL]

Sorry there are just some things that are so foundational, such a part of the shared experience of the world, I find it fucking inconceivable that someone hasn't heard it.

 

[linebaugh]

So I actually have heard all of princes big hits it turns out, except doves cry. not once prior to this. it was that big?

 

[DannyL]

It wasn't that it was big even, though it was. It was just *there*. It's like not having heard of Coca-Cola or Nike.

 

[linebaugh]

weird tune for a mega hit

[linebaugh]

I didnt know he was fentanyl death,

as danny says it is part of the fabric of life itself, as inescapable as the air we breathe

 

[luka]

do the review. describe the experience with close precision.

 

[linebaugh]

little too high, Ive already forgotten what it sounds like

 

[linebaugh]

odd emoji choice version

Sorry has someone not heard When Doves Cry? How is this actually possible? This is insane

i hate that i understand this reaction on a fundamental level cause i had a Canadian come and say to me that he'd never heard any Luther Vandross before.

He said he was reading some article from a writer where she said how we need to stop revering the Beatles and prop up Luther instead and he was like "wait? the guy from Young Americans?".

or when i had to explain to a recently made friend from Portugal who The Gap Band were after i made a passing refference to you dropped a bomb on me

 

[yyaldrin]

i've never heard of any of those people either

 

[woops]

i've never heard of any of those people either

smh

 

[yyaldrin]

you guys grew up in the 80s, that's different

 

[luka]

webeschaology is younger than you but the music he is talking about is heard at every wedding in Great Britain

 

[forclosure]

i've never heard of any of those people either

you are fucking lying to me

 

[forclosure]

when i see some of you man say that you never heard certain gigantic tunes that have been around longer than i've been alive i really do wonder what the bumboclart were you listening to at that time?

there was no way post punk or any of that C86 shit was THAT good to the point where you never heard when doves cry

Catalog's from Manchester and i can partially forgive him cause people talk about that cities "musical legacy" so it ignores how fucking dire the place is in order for music to come out from there (and i say this with full awareness as a Londoner)

 

[forclosure]

i told my mum about the Canadian guy and like me she lost it she came with such classics as:

"weh dem play fi dem sumthin? ZZ Top?"

"world wide Luther AND THAT'S ALL YOU KNOW LUTHER FOR?"
and
"give the british credit even when then hate black people they like black people music"

 

[yyaldrin]

you are fucking lying to me

their names don't say anything to me, but i just searched them on youtube and "never too much" i know but the gap band nahh don't recognize any of it.
