I agree. Nobody has nothing on Prince, that is for sure. St V is still fairly young though. Definitely one to watch. But I know nothing matched Prince. I won't even try. I just not so patiently wait for "new old stuff" ... I had never heard Beautiful Strange before a few weeks ago and I really treasure that "new to me song". And we can all enjoy Phase2 for at least a year before we really feel that no new music void.

She's in her mid 30's, not that young. It's such a different world.

Although if her next album is also a film then maybe she'll come close.

Apparently you have yet to realize what some of us have known for the better part of our lives: we were privileged to exist in the same era as someone who is so singularly unique, so cursed with a gift he could hardly contain, that people centuries from now will listen to his recordings and wish they could have been here with us to witness the spectacle.

Haha, humans won't be on this planet centuries from now.

Same answer as when he was alive: nobody.

No one...! And I feel the same way about Joni Mitchell. There's no one with everything they had. But there WILL be great artists in the future. It's just... some individuals are uniquely gifted.

I was lucky to see Ella Fitzgerald in concert in the 1980s. And Steely Dan, Beach Boys, the Kinks, Linda Ronstadt.

Prince was unlike any other. His story is truly inspiring. He had so many facets -- no one will come along in my life time who mastered all the instruments he did, composing, singing, arranging & performing. And dancing! That alone amazes me.

But there will always be artists to encourage us to look deeply at the world (inside and out), and we can create our own art, be it musical or visual or written stories.

That's what he would want, isn't it?

Hey-- how do I get paragraph breaks? I'm trying but it doesn't work.

Hold the Shift key down while you hit "Enter/Return".

That works.

If we are lucky enough to still be here -- or if we are off colonizing alien worlds -- we will have a very different view of what "rock" was. Check this out: http://www.nytimes.com/20...hone-share

You're assuming we survive through Tronald Dump's FIRST 4 years

In 14 minutes? That's a spectacular way to miss out on a lot of great artists.

Yep im a piano player and have afeel for what i like 1min into a song.gotta grab me like princ.Did.i will give her a better listen but i love a catchy song i try to write that way

My Dad once told me that if you like a song the first listen -- you're much likely to still enjoy it a week later.

That's why, for most of us, the best tracks on PR aren't PR, WDC or LGC.

No one can be like Prince. He was an eccentric funky cat. Guess what? He could play the guitar too.

I am totally obsessed with his music like I haver never been in those nearly 30 years. I know there won' be any new music coming anytime ever, so I made multiple copies of everything I own so it can last for another 30 years. I need to be prepared in case I am in urgent need of his voice.

Prince passing is a crime to humanity. Everybody will realize in the future he was like Mozart, not like any other silly pop crap and there are all shit. ALL OF THEM.

There IS NO space to fill. He IS the space. That is how genius he is. His legacy is so

big and bright that it is not even a possibility. There was no one before, no one after.

Period.

Seriously? There is no replacement for Prince, he was one of a kind and for most of us, one in a lifetime. Not sure how this question could possibly even come up

wow. is this a legitimate question???

.

many artists are "unique" in their own right..

but Prince - is UNIQUELY UNIQUE.

.

I mean I could go on - we ALL could go on about how "UNIQUE" Prince is..

about how his music has had such a TREMENDOUS IMPACT on all our lives..

but at this point, I think I'd only be REDUNDANT & REPETITIVE.

.

I'm relative certain that I can speak not only for me

but for many other people here

when I say that Prince & his music are

COMPLETELY, TOTALLY IRREPLACEABLE.

.

after God made Prince..

the mold was SHATTERED & OBLITERATED.

PERMANENTLY.

These r huge shoes 2 fill but we need someone to dig musically ,is it van hunt? he is a little mysterious and his music is often different from mainstream but my problem with him is, he does not get down right funky. Who do u guys think.

I'll stick to Prince

Although, I love a lot of other musicians, there will never be anyone else like Prince. He was and always will be my fav musician and I don't think anyone else's music will ever have the same affect on me.
