Me and my girl's 'song'. Thank you Prince. It helped me woo her.

It was. Prince was born in 1958, the generation that immediately preceded his was that of Duke Ellington, Miles Davis, Charles Mingus, Thelonious Monk, Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Rachmaninoff, Glenn Gould, Ritcher, Schoenberg, Horowitz, Max Steiner... and many others. Their music was "superior" in the same way that you view Prince's music as "superior" to today's music. It comes back to each generation viewing the following one's art as a testament of cultural decline.

Thats not what I said though. So what artist will you be bumping in 2046?

The coda on "In A Large Room With No Light"

I will never hear him play those guitar rifts live again.

You're being over dramatic though. If we take that approach I too can argue that the music made by prince and his generation was markedly inferior to those who preceded them (which it was). This is not a Coltrane or a Charlie Parker we're talking about, much less a Wagner... It's interesting that each generation sees their successor's art as essentially kitsch.

Aint nothing new under the sun

Prince made fantastic jazz music and was hailed by Miles Davis. What the fukk do you know about his music?

 

[Kobes Two Jerseys]

A lot of those I mentioned: some Miles, some Monk, some Toumani Diabate, some Beethoven, some Bach, a whole lot of Wagner and Nat King Cole and Bob Dylan...

So nobody who has come out from after 2000? Yea, thats the point.

It's not even elitism because Prince was an elite.

If Prince's father had Joe Jackson qualities, Prince would've been the next Mozart.
