Nope. I probably would have thought he was a great musician and artist, but lack something different than what others were doing 1991-1999. He started to seem interesting again when Rainbow Children came out.

I would've had a different perception of music because I wouldn't have had an earlier introduction to Prince. Which means he may have been something a little different that may have caught my attention which is what happened in the first place, so maybe. I am kind of a butterfly effect believing person, so I'm assuming I would have been a somewhat different person. I may have been a big over zealous MJ fan who knows. Damn there are too many variables to this question. Would MJ be MJ without the supposed competition? No Time, no Vanity 6, no Purple Rain, no Revolution as we know them.

It's quite probable that I wouldn't be. I originally got into Prince not just for the music, but also because I was completely in love with the whole futuristic aesthetic of the 1999/Purple Rain era. I think it's because I was 17 (still a year away from being able to go out clubbing with my friends) and hopeless with girls, so Prince's music and style represented a world of glamour, parties and sex, which was entirely lacking in my life.

The D&P era might have had the same effect on me, but for some reason I doubt it.

If I hadnt heard of Prince prior to..... then I would've been a big fan due to the sell out pop feel of the album.

.

But because I was educated by Prince prior to....... then I wouldn't have been a fan, as I HATE Cream and D&P the single was just lame.

I probably would based on two things:

1. If he still appeared on the MTV awards in assless pants

2. If he still did that stellar Arsenio show performance

Now, if his career had just started, I don't think the two above things would have happened.

However, assuming they did, I would have been a fan. The MTV show was not great, but

it was crazy enough for me to have paid attention. And the Arsenio performance was stellar,

especially the part where he simulates recieving anal sex from Tony M. lol

"Get Off" would not have impressed me. By the time the radio got around to playing "Insatiable", I would have loved that one and would have bought the single but not the album because I never bought entire albums from any artist based on hearing a slow song first. When it comes to albums, I have always bought, and still buy, albums from artists that I know are going to have the most fast jams on their albums. The only time I've ever bought full albums stictly to get a slow song, have been when the albums have been reduced in price and cost next to nothing.
