Pop Life is solid, and Purple Rain has a good guitar solo near the end, but besides those two, none of his other songs does anything for me. Just feel very dated, and bleh. And some people believe he was better than Jackson? Boy, please.

No.

I mean, theyre not even really comparable because their target audiences were completely different. Still, Prince was an amazing musician in addition to his performing skills.

Prince has way more texture than Michael Jackson. Jackson is very surface level, good surface sure, but nothing complex or interesting. Prince pushed boundaries, and while his surface level pop is good, its all the stuff underneath that make Prince peerless.

Pop Life. Really enjoyed the nostalgic, dream-like tune of that song. And that bass.

I literally lost a girlfriend in high school for saying Purple Rain sucks. Like literally, she moved to the other end of the couch to a "friend" that was ALSO a Purple Rain lover.

Long story short, I slept on the couch that night, she slept in his room.

Sadly, this is a true story.

Nah, I think they deserved each other. TBH, her looks had a lot in common with a cow and I dodged a major bullet when she slid down to the other side of the couch. I still maintain that Prince is a joke. Now, if we want to talk about a real album, Thriller comes to mind as being fantastic.

Some people get upset when you bash their idols and you were lucky enough to not get a beat down that night.

Let that be a lesson learned, sir.

pfffffft, you might want to see who you were backing. Plus he was like 22 while she was 16, so....

Also: I didn't "bash" their idol, I simply said that he sucked. Trolling move? Maybe, but I didn't throw Prince under the bus or anything.

When I was a kid I liked Michael better, but as I got older I've grown to really appreciate Prince's musicianship. The man was insanely talented, could play a bunch of instruments and his music had a more "grown" vibe so to speak.

I know Purple Rain gets mentioned a lot but you just have to hear this live rendition of it, this shit was ethereal. That guitar solo was unreal.

I can't recall Michael Jackson being convicted in either of his high profile cases. Guess that means he's innocent?

I havent gotten around to listening to a lot of his stuff beyond the big/semi-big hits..

What I will say is this though: He really upped the ante as far as musicians though - the man is incredibly gifted with an ability to do what he wants the way he sees fit. You can totally see his discipline and confidence come out when you watch an interview of him. Such a shame he died. He really is one of those musical cats that couldve gone any which way or direction like D. Bowie couldve.

Shit even Miles Davis appreciated his talents - he can get up on stage and improvise like nothing

He'd show it a little bit sometimes. Like Let's Go Crazy's sweet solo at the end.

Partyman and Trust. There might be one or two others in the background in other scenes I think.

I mean, prince wrote, performed, and produced the majority of his songs himself

so his songs did show off his skills... just not always his guitar skills

and there are plenty of his songs where he lets loose on guitar... they just arent all his big hits
