I am liking his new stuff. Also his old stuff still rocks.

Even though I absolutely dislike his output (both studio and live) since 2004, new old things keep surfacing in the bootleg world every now and then with a much improved quality.

That and the outtakes is what kept (and keeps) me on board for the time being.

I don't need to start 'I'm boring so I'm leaving' threads and then stay.

Get over it Vitriol, will you - or do you have to mention this everytime

I love music. If he keeps putting out music, no matter what the quality, I'll still love him.

Yep and his wonderful live performances...

If I really think about it, I feel spoiled by Prince. How many artisits out there have released *at least* one album per year for over 30 years???? I mean, GOT DAYAMN.

Business tactics and religious/personal beliefs aside, he still excites me. So much of his output over the past 10 years rivals some of his best work. When I hear albums like T.R.C, O.N.A Piano, N.E.W.S, 3121 & Lotusflow3r, most of the songs sound fresh and inspired. Yes, there are some REAL duds mixed in, too (the duds many of us can't seem to agree on, though...part of his brilliance, perhaps?)

It's rare I feel the need to say "THANK YOU" Prince, but...

the music and collecting

although collecting items from each album release has really become slim pickings.

I am still a fan because I believe that his genius is immeasureable. I am convinced that 100 years from now Prince will be talked about the same way that we today speak of Bach and Beethoven!!!!!

He is still the embodiment of all my musical culture and taste.

coz he is a genius!! nuff said.

Because he amazes me today even more than he did back in the late 80s, early 90s ... and boy was I crazy about him then! I have always remained a fan, even though I did not give him much attention from the early 00's till 2007. But he immediately excited me again with his Superbowl performance in 2007, as well as the shows in London, an when I finally saw him live again this year in Vienna I was blown away completely!! No one can fascinate me as deeply as he does - nothing compares 2 PRINCE! I also admire that he can still surprise everyone!

even though he is not a nice person to work for, he make some kivk ass shows and his bootlegs is the shit.

Bcause eye want his sex and eye will get it,also his music!

I still like his music. In fact I like it more now than in 1995.

His music is beautiful to me, old and new. I will always be a listener. I will always spend my money . All of his music has a message.He is his music,so if I can only be with him through his music that will be enough for me I love Prince. There will never be a replacement.I am happy to live on the same planet as he.

Im just hoping one day he will recapture his brilliance from the 90s. One can only hope!!

and

(Don't hurt 'em, Rhonda!)

I grew up to his music and watch his videos and still admire the guy even with all of his imperfections.

because it's Prince, it's like my first school love

He is the only musician I listen to on a regular basis. I love many other musician's work, but his music just stands out so much. I have been listening to 2010 constantly since I got it. That is close to 2 months and I still love it. I barely touch the other music I buy/download. Without him I would probably barely touch my ipod or stereo.

Because all of the amazing music he has made so far will keep me happy from now until I die.

its not the song or the lyric or the melody!!! its Prince man...................I mean, who else has THAT voice, that tone. I will buy anything the man records because he is a one off genius.

some people here dismiss the latest stuff!!! have you really listened to the complicated guitar work? planet earth is an amazing track, colonized mind is pure Prince class, dreamer another level. Prince is god and has been sent to educate us mortals, open your mind and listen to whats beneath the surface.

^ I really love your enthusiasm, Johnny3121.

I wish I could be as enthusiastic when it comes to "modern Prince" (post 1995).

I mean there's always a good track or a few on every album, but still the music isn't the same no more. It's more sterile, not "dirty funky" like in "old days".

.......... imo

ps I'm still here - on the Org, cuz I still LOVE the old stuff & I have nowhere else to go

My reasons to still being a fan of Prince:

1) Even though most of Prince's recent music sounds uninspired to me, I absolutely love - and will always love - Prince's old music released on Warner Bros. 1978 to 1995.

2) Prince can still make a great concert

3) I am still hoping for a Prince album masterpiece, even though I know it might not ever happen again.

4) To be a Prince fan. For me it's like an old marriage, you don't want to brake it - and leave, even though it's not filled with so much emotion like it used to.

All good points. I would also like to add that there is such a small amount of good music out there today that we keep looking to him to put out something worthwhile and brilliant.

Because the music is still good. It may not be as good, and it might be harder to find the gold, but when you shake the pan and find a nugget, there is nothing better.

His music continues to make life sweeter. Whether it's having fun, exploring other forms of music, philosophizing about lyrics or dissecting the sounds, he just never ceases to engage me in some way. That is why he's still my favorite artist and musician, in particular, 'cause music is somehow closer to the heart. He's just too much. Love Prince.

because I consider myself quite a well educated man but still am no closer to working him out than when I heard him for the first time.

I adore Prince and couldn't imagine ever not loving him and his music!!! HE is the best singer, songwriter, and guitar player I've ever seen. In fact, Prince is music. Whatever he does shines bright. I could never get enough of his old music and I see the new music taking that same effect on me. And I'm a fan of the man!! I find him to be the most attractive man I've ever laid eyes on. And I love his style, I love how he does whatever he wants and is still so confident and cool about it. And I love how he's always been religious, he's always used his gift from GOD. Prince has always wowed me in everything he's done and I love that. Prince has got it!! I will love and support him forever!!

Now tell me your reasons to still being a fan of Prince these days....

Because as for as I'm concern my boy, Can Still Jam!!!!!

And even if he couldn't he's already made enough music to last a lifetime!

a part of my family I've been a fan of Prince since the age of 16 and I've seen him perform
