Beck takes chances, Prince does not.

Eh, I would argue that they are both becoming more conservative as they age.

No, but Prince is the black ME.

well, in recent years Beck certainly became the one who made the more interesting

music. i love them both a lot.

beck also produces albums and songs for others. notably the charlotte gainsbourg

collaborations were very good and of high standard.

he also had his own record club going on for a while where he would go into a studio

with a band (notably some famous guests) and cut an entire covers album in a day.

no rehearsals, no overdubs, just cut it. they did stuff like velvet underground albums

and inxs' kick etc. very interesting stuff.

basically every album he's released on his own is good to amazing. i find it very hard

to find fault with his album releases. there's always a lot going on, the songs are very

well crafted and his sound is interesting and diverse.

people keep saying beck is a prince wannabe simply because he did one song on one

album that sounded like prince (debrah) when beck does so much more and is master

in his own field. he can't touch prince's prime material, fcuz not, very few can. but as

far as the zeitgeist of now goes, beck has had his finger on the pulse and far beyond

it for more than a decade now, where prince seems to be a bit lost.

i look forward to them both releasing new albums this year (hope so) but i just know

that if beck releases another studio album that it will keep me interested for at least

the best part of a year.

I agree with pretty much everything you said.

Make that two if us

They're both in cultish religions, Beck in Scientology and Prince... you know the rest.

Becks' a scientologist?

Yep and so is his wife Marissa Ribisi (Dazed and Confused) and her twin brother Giovanni Ribisi.

Prince is a much white as black, so, no.

Both of Prince's parents were black. Blackity-black-black-black.

Now it's all turning into a race issue
