2/29/08, 5:18 pm EST


This weekend’s rock list pays homage to one of music’s most celebrated subjects: Roy G. Biv.

Prince – “Purple Rain”
Weezer – “Pink Triangle”
The Velvet Underground – “White Light, White Heat”
The Kinks – “The Village Green Preservation Society”
New Order – “Blue Monday”

public enemy – fear of a black planet

curtis mayfield – we people who are darker than blue

mint condition – breaking my heart (pretty brown eyes)

vanessa williams – colors of the wind

i guess i’m biased to black…
