I would put Prince in the same league as Bowie, in fact i wish those 2 collaborated together I think they would have had something awesomely unique

Apparently that's true, judging from Unc's comments in his other thread about Prince. (sigh) No respect, I tells ya. No respect at all.

I'm gonna go with 'Kinda Wish He Woulda Stuck Around'. I don't own any Prince, but he also didn't bother me by doing his thing.

I did like how he was a burr in the saddle to record companies.

This is me too.

I don't own any Prince albums either but I do have several songs he wrote which other artists performed ("Manic Monday" by The Bangles and "Raspberry Beret" by Warren Zevon) are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.

Talented guy for sure but his music just didn't really click with me. But not something I would switch off either.

I added a vote in for the heck of it so you have three lol!

I respect Prince, not a huge fan but he was a great guitarist and a true musician unlike the pop shit he's lumped in with

That's a good point.

While Prince was usually classified as a "pop artist" he was a helluva lot more talented than most people who get tagged with that label.

From what ive heard of his music I would even say Pop artist would be putting him in a box he was a true artist

I voted Ultimate Respect as I had a few records/ tapes back in the day but unfortunately, didn't stick with the man in later years. Growing up a child of the 80's I often want to have more pop and rock stuff from that era but I know it would really only get the cursory or nostalgic listen every few years.

His androgyny made him a major influence on Japanese bishounen fashion and visual kei. When he died, it kind of flew over my head instead of really shocking me, but not because I hate the man. I like "When doves cry", but it was mostly his image that played a big influence on the music I like. Yoshiki of X Japan said of him on Facebook: "I have always respected your artistic freedom. RIP"

He was a great artist. RIP.
