Yeah and thats a wonderful takeaway bc prince is a MUSICIAN.

Why would him flexing his technique NOT be the takeaway?

Literally decade defining songs

Defining to who?

Most of the general public couldn’t name these songs.

This is prince we’re talking about not Billy ocean okay Prince if a defining artist

i only listen to underground music like prince and tame impala you probably dont know about it

Love them both. Prince if I've got to pick though!

at least know what you’re talking about idiot

WHAT

I mean stans that like him over Mike

Like I said Mike’s music is so undeniable, it’s modern classic music. He made Fur Elise level pop music. The whole world resonated with him. A lot of Prince’s output is an acquired taste. Great music nonetheless but its tougher to be universally appealing and still be the best artist

Real

They’d probably name them all, except for perhaps ‘Partyman.’

BRO SAID PEOPLE WOULDNT KNOW RASPBERRY BARET AND KISS

anyone that grew up in the 80s knows these songs

I was born in 01 bro and i know every song on there like rhe back of my hand

prince + mj looking down @ this thread shaking their heads

Exactly you had to be of the time.

Do people go to Prince the same way they go to Thriller every year?

Wow, that's wild! You ever listen to Mac DeMarco?

just enjoy both of them

ok but that changes nothing

It is still more common for people to say they like Michael Jackson more than Prince

there's no either or

Bruh i gotta put yall on to tyler

Yes but liking mconalds is more common that liking wendys

doesnt make wendys uncommon at all

Listening to Prince in barbershops

Superhero...or supervillain

again with the "MJ sold more" argument
