Yes! When I listen to Prince, he's the greatest! When I lsten to Sly, he's the greatest! When I listen to Dylan, he's the greatest! Seriously, there is so much great music out there, no one is "better" than anybody else, but Tyler I love how you're digging into music history! Check out Dylan too, he's amazing. And he'll play San Diego sooner or later. Peace! Be wild! | |

I actually dig Dylan. I have about 107 of songs on my iPod. He's a beast. And I might go see him when he comes to San Diego. Do you have any other recomendations? I think I checked out every artist that made music I'm interested in. | |

And he's still alive an' kickin' too... So many great soul artists are gone now... James Brown, Solomon Burke, Isaac Hayes... rip... That's one reason I'm so glad Prince is still out there playing. And paying his respect to his musical heroes. | |

I want something that sound like "The Ballad Of Dorothy Parker" ya know? I want some great lounge/chill/soul music.
I don't want none of that late 70's disco/dance music, over that. ahaha I want something that you I can play while me and my girl are chilling.
Do you know any artists that make that kind of music? | |

Prince is my favourite artist and he probably will be for a long time. I would agree with you about him being the greatest musician ever.. but my musical knowledge is so limited I'd feel stupid saying that he was the greatest, I still have so much to listen to, and so much to learn about ![]() | |

Yeah, I remember when I became a Prince fan. The journey of finding his music is fun as hell. I thought all his songs were about sex...I even though "Starfish and Coffee" was about sex ahaha.
You have a long ways to go. It took me 2 1/2 years to listen to all his surfaced music. I'll be happy to show you a couple of things, if you know what I'm saying | |

Hahaha I hated that song when I first heard it, it's grown on me though, it was like something you'd find on Disney I've been a Prince fan for around two years but I've only really been into him for only a year or something, maybe less!
Haha I still have to get most albums from after '95 and I have a few boots but I'm gonna focus on them when I have all of his other stuff!
And I still need to see UTCM and Graffiti Bridge! | |

You ever heard of [free vacation from the org?]?
Seriously people, you ask for, provide, or even get cute with boots and you will get a vacation. The rules are not new. - Mars23 | |

I think you formulated your topic wrong. Is he the best performer on stage? maybe,but there are so many great performers also. I think fans of Prince take some things for granted. Have you ever listen to Stevie Wonder?
Stevie is multi instrumentalist just like Prince.he kick ass on drums even if he's blind. If we look at the level of sophistication of Stevie's work he is much better musician the Prince. Stevie is also formaly educated .he finished conservatorium for blind claSSical music pianist. But he isn't better live performer then Prince. I also think that Bruce Springsteen was as good as Prince as a performer. very energetic,great singer,songwritter and a very good guitar player with distinctive sound. So i find Prince to be a great musician but not the best. [Edited 8/24/11 18:27pm] | |

Look, ya'll, this whole scenario about who is the greatest what is SO bogus! There is no greatest one of anything! There is only the cream of the crop for any musical genre in any era. There is no jockeying for a number one position unless you want to go by numbers of albums sold instead of talent. Musical talent cannot be measure and weighed...only appreciated and observed.

Not every fan was around in the 80's, including me. Remember that. | |

I know. But I also know that we don't need a child who has discovered Prince just 3 years ago to tell us about how great Prince is/was.
We already knew that. That's what I meant.
The guy behaves as if he were a heaven-sent messenger to let us know that 2+2=4. [Edited 8/25/11 5:33am] | |

He just needs to chill on starting these threads for a bit. It's gotten very old, very fast. | |

Maybe tylers topics lack a bit ,but why all of your replay to them if you don't like it? | |
- E-mail - orgNote - ![]() |
^Maybe some of us have the secret hope that some day he realizes he's not impressing anybody with those threads and stops starting them.
He still has a lot to learn before he can offer opinions that are really worth reading and discussing. | |

No, he isn't.
I rank him amongst the very best modern songwriters (lets say, since the 1920s), and he is a stellar musican. But he is in no way, shape or form the "greatest musician ever". | |

He still has a lot to learn before he can offer opinions that are really worth reading and discussing. i agree with everything you wrote.some of tylers topic are pointless,but he made a few nice one also.i do agree that tyler needs to know more about the stuff he want to discuss,but he's young and have enogh time to learn. | |

In the Non-Prince forum he has dismissed Stevie Wonder after having listened to all his discography in one day, from 4 a.m. to 1 p.m., if I remember well. [Edited 8/26/11 5:46am] | |
