A better Musician certainly.
But a better song writer? Maybe technically, but I think he's too comfortable in his skin now.  | |

His PR is certainly alot better.
I agree Imago, I don't think he challenges himself as much nowadays..  | |

Well, I think Prince has never stopped stretching or growing as a musician. He may not be expanding his musical repetoire as rapidly as in the 80's, but he is constantly retooling his sound and redefining it.
I think that as fans, we have become use to Prince- so it is hard for him to surprise us anymore--that's not his fault it's just how things are. Also, I believe that his song writing is a strong as ever, but his production techniques do not seem as constantly adventurous as they once were. "New Power slide...." |

So to answer the question I think that Prince, like most great artists, ebb and flow with their creativity. It's not a question about then vs. now, but a question of what "Prince era" you are discussing. "New Power slide...." |

NO! but I'm still waiting....  I know he's still got more greatness to come. The last 2 albums have been promising.....compared to...oh, I won't say Ask where they're going, they'll tell U – "Nowhere"
They've taken a lifetime lease on Paisley Park ...  | |
