Prince is lame

Here's all you need to know:
Chicks dig Prince.
If you (even pretend to) dig Prince, chicks will dig you.
'Nuff said.
/thread
they shouldn't try that on me... I'd think they're gay
Oh great, another hate thread.
People like you make this place a joy to visit.
If Prince is lame, that puts you somewhere in the drooling catatonic category.

I'm already quite a bit taller than Prince.
I admit that it is lame of me to start a ___ is lame thread. I saw the Prince v. Paris thread which made me like him a little better. I hear so many people just gushing about him and his gimmicky little persona is just so contrived. For goodness sake--the guy is 50 years old--and hes still doing the same bit that he was 25 years ago. I'm just bitter--and last time I checked that wasn't against the rules
Amen! Apart from that, he is a unique artist and I think he's darn funky, if you don't dig, don't listen. Simple.
Check out his playing on "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" from the 2004 RRHOF show. He really starts letting go around the 4:00 minute mark. The man has some serious chops. Wish he'd showcase them a bit more often.

The guy can write
the guy can sing
the guy can play
Prince had a huge influence on pop R&B in the late 70s and early 80s
The guy can pretty much play with any musician at any time he desires
The guy broke a lot of industry rules about bands, bizniz and songwriting
The guy hired female musicians and treated women players as equals, also launched a couple of major female careers
Even if you don't personally dig his style, there is no question he has a great creative imagination, musical talent and the savvy to get it out there
- with OR without major record label distribution
I wasn't a major fan, but I sure admired his "balls" - THAT'S rock and roll!!

Bryan316 and ryco, I think you summed it up quite well! We've had several gigs when during a break, the girls wanted the sound guy (who would bring several CD's) to play "P***y Control" and they would get absolutely "take me home NOW and...." ...sorry, can't finish or I would get banned.
Dig him or not, he's doing something right.
