This reaction channel by a 18 year old kid said the same. He's listening to all of them big names. Plus Hip-Hop artists. "I can't explain it, but his music just sounds so different from anything I've heard. (Something In The Water) Sounds just like the album cover!!" No, I would put on PR just slightly ahead of 1999. There are basically no bad songs and the sequencing is sublime, it just flows into perfection. 1999 has Free on it and just for the fact that Free kept some songs of that record makes me loathe it. I might just call it one of the worst songs of his career. I am not being ironic, but Push is leaps and bounds better than Free. Stinker, ugh!

I've watched plenty of his reaction vids and it's nice to see someone his age listening to and enjoying the classics. There seems to be a fledgling of these youngsters coming out the woodwork with the advent of reaction vids. Yes sir. Him. Totally worth the watch for anyone in this thread. Edit; By the way. He is already down in the Prince Rabbit Hole. Amazing journey to follow. [Edited 12/15/20 13:38pm] https://prince.org/msg/7/465293 [Edited 12/15/20 13:40pm] | |

My musical knowledge while still on the basic side has never been as widespread before I joined this site. | |

in 1982,Prince was at the top of his game.All three of those albums are exceptional.Well, considering that from the 1990s on up to the present, the majority of music from the R&B side of the fence that isn't shit hop, has been dull, slow to midtempo, adult contemporary type R&B, I would say that Shitney Houston is the most influential of all time. Andy is a four letter word. | |

1999 is the best album of the 80s period! No one couldn't touch Prince throughout the 80s. | |

Whitney killed soul in my opinion. You can easily hear the difference from the 60s and 70s Vs 1985 - now. | |

As innovative as 1999 was, it also came out in a decade that had an excess of innovation so its competition was stiff to say the least. At the risk of making this MJ VS Prince topic #652920732714, Thriller was influential in ways beyond its sound. You didn't have many artists, let alone R&B artists making an album as varied and cross-pollinated as Thriller. The goal of the album was to reach as many people as possible do you can't risk losing them in sounds and songs as unaccessible as the creations on 1999. Albums can be influential beyond the music contained in them and still influence music itself. In the sense of embrassing crossover and bringing it to the mainstream, I agree and I may have overlooked that aspect. Thriller was definitely important in making music colorblind in the 80s.
