I understand when someone prefers a certain period or style by Prince, but I can never understand how anyone could say:"That's the real Prince. Only that!"
Maybe it's a good thing that I'm still quite young and haven't discovered Prince until 1997/1998 (The Gold Exp.), this way I didn't get to know him in a certain period but had all the different styles at once.

One thing that makes Prince so amazing to me, is that he simply does (nearly) everything.
