What's the appeal of Prince?

Guybrush · 04-21-2021, 12:57 PM

My wife likes Prince. I like a few songs and have tried a couple of deep dives.. but while Prince may be the ultimate artist on paper, his recorded music often bores me for reasons that are not entirely clear to me.

That superbowl halftime show he did was ****ing amazing, though. The guy was a great artist.

Amen to that. He made a latter day Foo Fighters song sound amazing.

His production skills and DIY attitude when it came to his music.

Some Artists are just at their best doing live gigs and fall short just with sound ...reason I use youtube so much....

You wouldn't have used YouTube when Prince was alive...

That's an album. Did you mean 1999?
