As a huge Prince fan, I've always admired how he drew inspiration from a wide range of artists and genres. I'm curious to know: which non-Prince artist has had the most significant impact on your musical taste or style?
Feel free to share specific albums, songs, or experiences that highlight this influence. Whether it's a classic rock legend, an R&B icon, or an underground artist, I'd love to hear your stories and how these artists connect to your appreciation of Prince’s music!

Michael Jackson! The first time I heard 'Thriller,' I was absolutely mesmerized. And the music video?What an icon! His entire discography is amazing... It was through his music that I discovered Prince.
Besides MJ I would also say Jimi Hendrix and Whitney Houston!
