Prolly 'cause that one line in Dance, Music, Sex, Romance sealed his fate.



In other words — just another case of Be Careful What You Ask For. 'Cause You Just Might Get It.

There are a lot of other successful songwriters — who in a lot of peoples' opinion, are “better” songwriters than Prince — that are also not included on that particular organization's inductee list



{in no particular order…}

  • Andy Partridge

  • Damon Albarn

  • Karl Wallinger

  • Lindsey Buckingham

  • Donald Fagen/Walter Becker

  • Robbie Robertson

  • Roland Orzabal

  • Jimi Hendrix

  • Neil Young

  • Roger Waters

  • Jim Morrison

  • Van Halen

  • Madonna

  • I could go on and on…

Besides the subjective opinions and musical tastes of the people who compile that list, you also have to bear in mind the politics inherent in that kind of capricious selectivity.

What does that song have to do with anything. At the time he was getting nothing so he was only making a true statement.
