How do you respond to people...... who say Prince's music is shit. They don't say they don't like his music, they categorically state the music is shit.
What evidence do you put forward to try and disprove this statement? | |

I just have social problems. Social problems, and the ability to shapeshift into a bird. ~ I'D BUY THAT FOR A DOLLAR ~

I was having a discussion with this bloke down the pub, who my dad knows, about my thoughts on Prince being a shapeshifting lizard. The geezer then told me that he'd actually had tea last week with David Icke on the Isle of Wight! Funny old world, innit? | |

I could care less if people like the same music as me. What does someone else liking or hating Prince have to do with me? | |

I normally ask them how they feel about MJ to see if they actually have any taste or not. You need somebody like me to point your fingers at and say, "Hey, Look at that platinum album selling smooth criminal!" | |

His music has sucked for a long time now and I am a suker for buying the shit. Haters travel in packs and they are offended or threatened by klhk, haters express intense hostility toward the subject of hate. Haters are annoyed and roll thier eyes when klhk is paid a compliment. ask yourself, are u a hater? | |

I don't argue with them, I agree with them. Regarding his music from the last 7 years anyway. "You need people like me so you can point your fuckin' fingers and say, "That's the bad guy." "

If someone is not into Prince, they have no idea what he's capable of. If they don't like the sound of his music, they aren't going to take the time to find out or even care, for that matter, how talented he is either. I can argue all day with other Prince fans because we all love his music and we are simply arguing over which songs sound better to our particular ears. I don't waste my time arguing with non-Prince fans about his music because it's pointless. They simply don't like his music. I also believe in people having minds and tastes of their own so I have no right to force Prince on anyone. Andy is a four letter word. | |

most of the people whose opinions i really care about are people who know a thing or two about music, so even if they don't like prince they tend to 'get' why other people might appreciate him.
conversely, people who are quick to just dismiss prince's music as across-the-board 'crap' are people i really don't have time to debate with. | |

I state why i love his music and think its great...i do this calmly so that i make actual sense...than i ask them y they think its ish.most of the time they end up running out of weak arguments and start sayin the usual"well,hes weird or gay" and i give my usual response of "and this has what 2 do with his music" "how do u know hes gay...were u there?" "hes weird huh,how?well, whos 2 say thats weird?" than i ask them whos music they like and if the artist's music is not all that great or just CRAP i get REVENGE and let my opinions flow | |

Same here. Exactly. I would also like to add that most people don't appreciate quality in any sphere of life. Look at the mindless shit that is peddled for entertainment and you will see my point. I've come to accept the fact that most people don't like the things I'm into and I'm quite greatful for that. | |

My tastes differ from 99.9% of the people on this site and I'm sure I haven't swayed one person's opinion so I know it's a waste of time trying to convince somebody who won't even entertain the thought of liking his music. Besides, I don't identify myself with Prince to that extreme where not accepting him means not accepting me. | |

Well honestly...I don't really care what they think. They are entitled to their own opinion and can like whatever music they like! It's always fun to run into another Prince fanatic like me tho! | |

I don't think I've ever ran into anyone that has called Prince's music "shit."
But then, I'm the type of person who likes it when people DON'T like what I like anyway. | |

I get very defensive.I try to remind them how can they like Michael Jackson and
think he's normal while thinking Prince is freak and rubbish. I just make them realise theyre fools. That works! | |
