Was not a Prince fan. Actually couldn't stand him. But, my sister and her daughters are big fans. And, I do understand the impact of his loss.
You think people around the world will know his music in 200 years? Those two aren't generational talents; they'really still making a significant impact on music today. Just because Prince was one of the greats of his generation doesn't mean he is in the same category.
Having talent, and realizing all that potential to make an impact that transcends centuries of time, are two different things. I don't think Prince will achieve the latter, but I suppose time will tell.
Nope, but I do now. I think I can see the dots you're trying to connect here, but please don't let me stop you.
Realize though that I understand there are many influential people who change the course of music, whether well known or not, and that I also believe that doesn't necessarily mean they have the same impact as the guys in your original analogy. I just think in this case the comparison is contrived.
No offense, but if you don't know who Jelly Roll is, I don't know that you're in a position to tell anyone who and what will be remembered in 100 or 200 years.
I get that people love the music of their youth/generation, but so much of the love is there because of the music connects us to a specific time and place. It brings back memories. That's why it is hard to argue with taste about stuff like this. It's like someone telling you that your mom's fried chicken really wasn't the best.
I'm pretty comfortable that Prince would not be on the Mt Rushmore of musical geniuses.
Gotta respect a guy who is willing to go all in.
If he's on it a lot of pretty good ones will be left off.
I feel comfortable disagreeing. But I can acknowledge it's all about ones perspective.
Fair enough. I don't think you're in a position to tell people things sometimes as well, but that seldom seems to stop you. I'll follow your lead I guess.
I'm with you on Devante Davis, the thing that stands out when I watch him is how natural he looks, he looked like he belonged from jump street. I think Hill will be very good too, but I think Davis will hear his name first in the 2018 draft
The Miami staff thought he was the best prospect in the city when he came out, per a source 18 months ago.
So in the History of music, Prince is one of the top 4 all time best? Is that what you are suggesting?
If we included only one person from the 20th century on the list, a strong case can be made he should be the one,.
