I'm just surprised that people dig prince that much and then there seems to be so little interest in soul and funk in general. I kinda get that he would be a gateway act with more automatic appeal/exposure to indie rock fans, but to like him that much? and even more to like him that much and then not really dig that deep into soul/funk/r&b? I don't get it.

we're too busy listening to new releases to bother.

1) The Jesus and Mary Chain
2) Ride
3) OLD Blur
4) After that it just doesn't really matter. Surpisingly Art Brut is not in the top 10. But I still love them.
