What songs do you know?

If you're just starting out on Prince, I'd recommend the entire Purple Rain album; it's a critically acclaimed, high quality album that's commercial enough to be appealing for casual listeners. It's 43 minutes long and has 9 songs, so it's quite short and sweet. You can listen to it online for free on Spotify. "When Doves Cry", "Let's Go Crazy", "Purple Rain" and "I Would Die 4 U" are some of the most memorable pop songs of all time.

So, listen to that album to find out whether or not you want to go deeper in Prince's music. If you decide you do, I'd definitely recommend listening to the Dirty Mind, 1999 and Sign O' The Times albums; aside from Purple Rain, those are Prince's only critically acclaimed albums, iirc.

The young, under 18 me would have picked Michael Jackson. The 32 year old me picks Prince, the older I get the more I appreciate his music, the man was a genius.

MJ was definitely more popular, especially with the white crowd, but he was never the musician that Prince was. MJ was a great pop star, so the equivalent of something like someone saying Justin Beiber is better than John Mayer or something.

Prince's Purple Rain guitar solo. The full vid is 20 minutes and is ethereal, Youtube keeps taking it down though. Just Google Prince Purple Rain Syracuse 1985 and the full video is in the first link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANn8Y1p-DfA


Or that time when Prince did a surprise drop in and fucking murdered that guitar solo:

It reminds me of that Drake video with him dancing awkwardly in his down jacket, like he just made it all as he went along and kept changing his mind on what he wanted to do.

Which knowing Prince he probably did.

I prefer MJ by a significant margin.

Prince is great, but a lot of his songs go on a bit too long or feel a bit too repetitive.

Prince and its not even close.

In US - perhaps...
but in the rest of the world people barely know of his existance

Michael Jackson, however, is well known all over the world.

The only reason I ever heard about Prince in my life is cos' Mortal Kombat character Rain
is an actual allusion to song called "Purple Rain"... and that's about it

I kinda hate people who look like him [although it has little to do with music]
+
I lived my entire life [I'm 36 now] listening to other performers/musicians and
never felt that I'm lacking on music department. I mean - it's not like I tried whole my life
to find something to fill the gaping wound in my soul and Prince's music will be the thing.
I'm totally happy without his songs in my life *shrug*
