Music Debate IV: Prince
Ratings key:
10 - One of your very favorite artists of all time.
9 - Killer fucking band. Or artist.
8 - Great sound, great songs, great albums.
7 - Very good, but not quite great.
6 - Pretty good. More than a few songs you like. You'd entertain the thought of seeing them live if they were in the area. Or still alive.
5 - They're okay, but maybe not something you'll go out of your way to listen to.
4 - Meh. There may be a song or two, or an album that you dig, but you'd rather listen to other stuff.
3 - Not very good. You will more likely than not turn the station if they come on the radio.
2 - Not your cup of tea at all. Some people like this, but you are not one of them.
1 - Horrible in every way.
0 - In the running for worst artist/musician of all time. You would rather take a cheese grater to your face than listen to this.
Current Standings:
6.09 - Weezer
5.00 - Lady Gaga
4.33 - Linkin Park
TBD - Prince

just not a prince fan at all
Also, you never would have been able to find any of his stuff on YouTube when he was alive.
I'm not really a "fan" but I know where to give credit when it's due.
If Weezer, Linken Park or Lady Gaga score higher this website suffers from musical retardation.
You guys are some haters. Solid 8, and Erotic City is one of the best songs ever.

I beg the differ, Prince was one of those artist who didn’t need death to be famous. His stuff was always available on YouTube.
no, he's referencing that Prince actively had his stuff taken down off of YT.

^^^That. You would be lucky to have something by Prince up for 5 minutes before it got pulled.
I'm only actually familiar with the Doves Cry song, so...
Troll.

I clicked on literally all of the videos in the OP and it was the only one I recognized in the slightest. Not my style of music, so I'd never seek it out. Odds are I might have heard one or two on the radio at a store once but beyond that I've not listened to any of his songs. Even the Doves Cry song all I know is literally that one line.

If you listened to the radio growing up there had to have been other songs you have heard fron Prince. Maybe Canadian radio is different lol

I didn't listen to the radio growing up, and even had I, I'm still not "familiar with" any of his music as I say - I couldn't recount any of them, hell I didn't even know the Doves song was him. Prince is and always has been outside of my radar.

I remember a mom once posted a small (30 seconds if that) clip of her kids running around her kitchen to "Let's Go Crazy," and you could barely hear the song itself, and that got a takedown.
The mom won in court, though.

I was wondering when someone was gonna mention that as it's something I've noticed.

Micki Free has confirmed Charlie Murphy's Prince story was 100% accurate, right down to the pancakes. He also offered this bonus story:
There was one time where I was coming into this club, and I had my suits made from the same people that made his suits. And I had my boots made from the same guy that made Prince’s boots. So I was coming into the club with my then wife, Teri Copley, an actress from the ‘80s who had her own TV show. Prince was leaving the club, and he walked up to me— I thought I was looking sharp! And he looks straight at me and says, “Hmmm… You only missing one thing.” And Prince took out a pair of red panties from his suit, which I still have to this day, and put them into my pocket! He pat them and said, “Now, you are looking good.” And he strutted on out. Crazy times.

I thought I recalled hearing that the pancake thing happened numerous times.
He liked to have the whole neighborhood come through for pancakes.
Edit: barrelsAndRivets AND G-Type beat me to it, haha. Still worth re-re-posting!
His solo at 3:28 is just unreal. I guess Oprah has this guitar now, by the way. 10/10.
haha we need to reach each others' posts You're the second one to post that link, and I mentioned it early on. Great performance for sure
