A friend from church named her brother Prince. I think he soiled the name, as the kid is a little runt and not awesome.

For such an effeminate dude, he sure scored a lot of hot chicks.

All chicks are at their core inner lesbians so it makes sense...

That's because you listen to shitty rap.

And use terms like "fell off" which only applies to flavor of the month artists and genres.

His last few albums certainly aren't the best output of his career although Musicology was well reviewed and won some awards. But prince has never been especially consistent with albums. He fucks around a lot and for every "good" album there are middling ones with only a few good to great songs on them. That being said when you have a music career that generally spans decades you have your ups and downs. As with any artist. Also still an amazing live performer. One of the best around in fact.

His performance at Coachella blew my fucking mind. I'm not the biggest Prince fan around but man, I'm glad I got to see him rock shit live. He even brought out Morris Day and Sheila fucking E!

He's a JW so I always thought it'd be funny to see him go door to door trying to convert people.

<3 Prince

One of my greatest musical memories was seeing him play in Dublin the summer after (Irish) Sinead O'Connor had a number 1 hit with his 'Nothing Compares 2U'.

He of course did that song, and absolutely DESTROYED her version to the point where I never wanted to hear it again. I think he was pissed.

I didn't think Lotus Flower was too bad. I actually enjoyed a lot of it.

You can say what you want, but this...

confirms that he's gay. Or at least bi-sexual.

OK guys I was never a Prince fan but I'd like some recommendations.

Then just buy or download one of the many greatest hits compilations out there. Nothing wrong with that. The Hits 1/The Hits 2/ The B-Sides is still a pretty great compilation for most of his career even though it came out years ago.

If you're the type who must own individual albums for some reason then

I would recommend

Dirty Mind
1999
Purple Rain
Sign of the times
Diamonds and Pearls
That Album with the symbol on it
3121 (although some people would pick Musicology instead but I think 3121 is the better album)
