My favorite Musician is Prince. and this thread does not ask for a beat down of Prince, just a simple answer..is Prince your favorite musician??

Yeah, sure..... Prince has given me so many great experiences in the past, and playing live he is still one of the greatest musicians ever.

being a fan since 1983 I have so many great memories. Prince has created a wonderful soundtrack to my early (young) life.

Especially 1983 to 1995.

London 2007 was magic too, shame about his albums since 1995, they are not showing the brilliant artist/ musician he is,

imo.

She's not a musician though.

He's my favorite musician, but he's not my favorite musical artist, if that makes sense.

John Lennon is my favorite musical artist, and he's a musician, too, but I like him for his artistry, not his skills as a player.

of course she is

I like George Michael's prowess in the studio. Boy played just about everything on the Faith album. He's quite proficient on everything.

Wendy & Lisa rank up there, play most everything on their first album or two (although they later had a band for a while). Wendy is fierce on bass, and drums, as well as guitar.

I like Dave Berry as a guitarist. I also think Larry Graham was fierce on bass back in the Sly/GCS days. The man defined a way of playing. Paul Mirkovich is an incredible musician and arranger and producer. Omar Hakim is one of the best drummers around, and greatly overlooked.

Prince isn't my favorite musician, but he's up there in the top 5, as he is for favorite performer.

No. Jimi Hendrix is.
Prince is my favorite living musician.

Yes he still is.

Dig George as well, he's in my top 5 for sure..very underrated IMO.

Prince is by far my Favorite of all time Musician. But since a few have done a top 5 I will do top 4 at least Musician/Groups then I will as well.

1. Prince
2. Michael Jackson
3. George Michaels
4. Duran Duran

1)Prince
2)Nas
3)Ludacris
4)Kanye West
5)A Tribe Called Quest
6)Michael Jackson
7)Gangstarr

lol I also met Ludi & Kanye

...uhhhhh...

Ya'll seem to be forgettin' the definition of "musician".

ernestsewell said:

No, I'm pretty sure of myself that I understand the term, "musician". It's not difficult to comprehend.

NastradumasKid said:

I don't think you do if you're listing people like Nas, Ludacris, Kanye West, etc. They're great sampling other people's music, or sampling beats, or creating beats in a drum machine. I dare either of them to sit at a piano and play something worthy of listening to, or pick up a guitar and play something funky.

idk

If it's not Prince, it's either Dixie Chicks or Mariah Carey.

Or Gaga

Janet.

Michael Jackson is and always has been my favorite artist, but I absolutely love Prince as well. He's definitely my favorite artist after Michael.

He's one of many, but lately I've been partial to this man...

So fucking what???!!!!! I like them and yeah they sample music. You don't have to like them, but don't even start this bullshit.

Some of you talk too damn much but end up looking a complete ass at the end. You don't sound smart!

'Musician' doesn't only apply to instrumentalists. It also applies to singers, songwriters, conductors, composers, etc. Basically, anyone that performs music.
