GOOD QUESTION - GOOD QUESTION

Good Question was a one-off band appearing on the Paisley Park label back in 1988. The band is basically two brothers with minuscule singing ability. They were obviously discovered to compete with 80's flop band Milli Vanilli who enjoyed success around the same time or because someone thought they had a sexy image. Regardless of which way you look at it, this is one of the worst pieces of music committed to tape in the history of modern pop.

There is nothing, from the bland uninspired generic arrangements, to the trite forgettable throw away lyrics; I repeat nothing worth listening to. The vocal performances seem forced and juvenile. As for image, the brothers are twinky little girly boys with about as much sex appeal as a brick wall. Their one video features popular dance moves but nothing original and different.

It seems to me, this band was created in an attempt to ride a musical trend rather than push musical boundaries like so many Paisley Park acts did during its short life span. The Prince involvement is non-existent; which probably explains the lack of any musical ingenuity whatsoever. This record devalues the integrity of all other artists appearing on the label.

The one redeeming quality of the disc is the fact it appears on Paisley Park. Without that distinction, that little paisley symbol on records, cassettes and CDs, there wouldn't be anything worth salvaging here. They're not even worth the time or energy it would take to destroy them. The only people in the world who will buy this material are die-hard Prince fans and possibly family members of the brothers.

It's a funny thing to have someone come up to you and make your dreams come true because they think you're pretty whereas so many truly talented and deserving people are overlooked and left by the wayside. It actually offends me so many resources and money were invested in such a wasted project as this. Even in the creative process, they had to know it was crap. I can't believe Rosie Gaines' 'Concrete Jungle' wasn't released and this dribble was. Very disappointing.

As much as I love Paisley Park and what it did back in the day, I hate to give one of its bands such a poor review, but I have absolutely no choice if I want to be honest in my critique. My final words: SKIP IT.
