I have always believed that Prince is the most overrated artist of all-time. He may have churned out a couple of hits in the 1980′s but has done nothing of relveance in at least 25 years. However, despite his artistic ineptitude, or maybe as he prefers it ineptidude formally known as the Artist, he has somehow continued to remain relevant (is it possible that both Journey and the Olsen twins have the same publicist he does??).
In any event, while I can even except the argument that quality artists can remain relevant over time, no one is playing Prince records, asking for them to be played nor can I even remember the last time I heard played anywhere. This is of course in other 80s artists like Michael Jackson who songs still get significant air and club play on the regular. It is interesting that there were people in the 80s who had the audacity to compare Michael Jackson to Prince, because as you can see from this video, right from the beginning MJ was pure talent and Prince was a lot of noise and hot air…
ENJOY
