"Is he the greatest musician/singer /songwriter of all time?. Gotta say he probably is. What a body of work and amazing live xx"
Simply...yes.
No one else could do everything he did, to the standards that he did it.
As an aside, 12 years ago tonight I was at the o2 for his opening night. |

"He's got 2 good songs"
Which two were you thinking, When the Doves Cry & Nothing Compares too you? Or were you thinking Purple Rain & Little Red Corvette, or maybe Raspberry Beret & Alphabet Street...?
Personally I like Kiss and Cream too.

I would vehemently disagree with this OP
There are, without question, stronger musicians and singers
Songwriting? - Morrissey, Billy Bragg, Bob Dylan, John Lennon, and Paul Weller are streets ahead
"You Sexy MF" - QED... |

not in my opinion no, music for me is a thing of that time, a voice a tune I've admired many but don't think many stand the test of time but I suppose we like what WE like  |

Music is always subjective, he was a great writer, singer, musician, producer. But so are, and were many other artists. His vocal range was crazy, he wrote some amazing stuff, and some utter shite. I could never say any one artist is the greatest, too many to choose from. He's up there on the list for sure  |

Music is a very personal thing to say that one performer is the best ever is pushing it a bit far for every person who loves Prince there will be equal amount of people who think he is shite. |

Can he compare to the old timers. Ludwig van Beethoven died in 1827 and they are still playing stuff he wrote. Have to hang around a 100 years to see if Prince is still played.
He was pretty good but possibly only as good as some of his contemporaries. |

I think you need to look at the whole package with Prince.
Yes, there may have been a better singer, or musician, or dancer, or songwriter.
But I defy anyone to name someone who could do all of those things to the incredibly high standard that he could. |
