It's official. RIP Prince, the best Minnesotan artist ever.
Lol...ever hear of Bob Dylan?
Prince's music sucked IMO but he seemed like a decent guy and he was very talented.
I guess if you like the nasal voice of a chain smoker singing lyrics that sort-of rhyme and don't make much sense otherwise, combined with 10th grade band level guitar and keyboards, then yeah. Dylan was better.
I was born much, much after Dylan was kicking out hit songs. Thus, I don't have to suffer the cultural delusions fabricated by a bunch of hippies down at Haight-Ashbury that he is some sort of great musical talent. Objectivity is nice.
Not that I listen to Prince either, but I can decipher good musical talent from bad.
I feel exactly the same as you regarding Dylan. No talent old hippie.
