i was born in 1975. That makes me 39 .

I'm 44. I was a closet 1999 fan. Friends were all into big hair rock. So was I to a point.

.

Purple Rain was really the album that turned me into a purple hippie from then on.

First album bought was Purple Rain. I was 10.

im 17 i still remember all the initial confusin when i discovered him when i was 15 going on 16 during the summer two years ago not understanding why i can find none of his music on youtube apart from a couple of songs

I'm 50. Day 1 fan.

I became a fan at 12, back when I thought Little Red Corvette was about having "sex" in a car and that "When Doves Cry" was shockingly vulgar for having that "the sweat of your body covers me" line.

Been on the planet 45 years. I was 11 in 1981 when I first started hearing "Controversy" on the radio and liking it. But when I first heard "1999"...it was like God calling my name--not with words but with emotion and sensations. (And I was an atheist by that time, and for several years after, so that should give you an idea how powerful an impression his music made on me.) Talk about a bolt of lightning. I'd never had an experience like that with anyone else's music. Not even close. So it was at the age of 12, upon hearing "1999", that I became a 'fan' and it was IMMEDIATE. That song MADE me sit up and pay it attention like I didn't have a choice in the matter. (I did. I just loved his music too much to put up any resistance .)

I started actually getting into P's music right before entering the seventh grade (so, 2010). And I'm turning 18 this year, so I guess Crystal Ball is the closest record to my birthdate?

I'm 44...damn where did the years go

My brother who is five years my elder and had his first job at the time, came back from the wrecka stow with the 1999 12" single. I played it all the time, the synth, the funk! after that i was hooked from 1983.

......and I pestered my mum for money to buy the previous Prince albums, although Dirty Mind and Controversy were not appreciated in my house if I played them too loudly

Discovered P shortly after 1999 was released.

Forty seven here. Soft And Wet was the first song that i ever heard from Prince. Been a fan ever since, but didn't become a hardcore fan until the second album.
