Since at least one inch of snow has accumulated at Paisley Park, today we are officially pulling the Prince Lever which starts an all-out Prince marathon on our Local Current stream of Minnesota music.

It's nothing short of impressive anytime an artist has enough music to play for a day. By our crude calculations, 24 hours of music would be about 360 songs (maybe around 300 if you include time for breaks).

So for today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what musician could you (and would you want to) listen to for 24 hours straight?

Noodle this one, do a little math, and give us your ideas below.

Songs Played


Bob Dylan "All Along The Watchtower"
David Bowie "Star"
Guided By Voices "Chasing Heather Crazy"
Loretta Lynn "Have Mercy"
Miles Davis "Miles Ahead"
They Might Be Giants "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)"
