Prince.

The master. I bow down, to the fact that I grew up during the peak of his art.

Prince is the master, but really didn't produce anything worth listening to past the 80s
had an amazing 10 year run, possibly one of the greatest, but he couldn't sustain it
I still kick myself for not catching him live

was a canary in the coalmine on the fent epidemic

Are there any artists who have had amazing runs that have lasted *longer* than 10 years (devoid of anything mediocre?) I can't think of any, even among my favorites.

The problem is that after a certain point Prince produced nothing but duds…not that he didn’t have a perfect record after ten years. Many artists produce duds but also great records after their initial decade or so of inspiration.

Bob Dylan’s Blood on the Tracks for example.

Prince really cratered in my opinion.

You misspelled U2 and somehow doubled 5 to 10 in your post.

Is it April Fools? Did Seth or Kosmo set up a hilarious filter that changes U2 to Prince?

[Starsky]

I like Zooropa and Pop. Sue me.

Now Rattle and hum….ugh

I kept buying Prince records into the 90s and being disappointed

It’s funny how people insist Prince has all these amazing unreleased records in his “vault” and I don’t think there is one.

He dried up and lost interest. It’s not that unusual. What I find unusual is he couldn’t come up with even one kickass tune.

[Space Freely]

I agree with both Hutch and Julian.

[grateful]

I agree with both Hutch and Julian.

Whoa.

I call BS on ill informed Prince opinions…

not one, trust me I was willing to give him a LOT of leeway
If they are out there, please school me

I will be honest, I've just skimmed what he's done since the 80s, but my fact checking cuz, hutch, well, he's given it the ole college try on more than one occasion and feel his reaction has way more credibility than mine

I call BS on ill informed Prince opinions…

OK Koz...please curate a 10 song play list of the Greatest hits of prince post 1990


I'm a little shocked looking back on Robert Christgau and the Pazz and jop polls how well his early 90s albums did


OK, this was funny and deserved recognition

I didn't like Prince songs in the 80's or 90's.
