Prince Thread

[Chris]

Some call him the best artist to have come out of the 80's, others like me say he's highly overrated.
His music may have been something special back in the 80's but today it sounds horribly dated.

Let's take a look at his new 3-Box Compilation.

Editorial Reviews
Assignment: To write 100 words on 56 songs by the greatest artist the '80s produced.
Even with single edits substituting for full-length versions in a handful of cases,
The Hits/The B-Sides is a mighty testament to the man we once called Prince. (For that matter, we still do.)
In addition to most of his singles, from "I Wanna Be Your Lover" to "Thieves in the Temple," from "When Doves Cry" to "7,"
this triple-CD set throws in some worthwhile new music and a full disc of the fantastic flips that made buying -
7- and 12-inches a must even when you already owned the A-side.
"You can be the side effect," he mutters herein. "I'd rather be the dope."
Witness some of the funkiest pharmaceuticals around. --Rickey Wright

So any thoughts?

Prince is one of the greatest artists out there... if not THE greatest. I love his music!

Can't say I like the music.
Although without Prince there would be no Laibach cover of The Cross.
Got to thank him for that.
