Batman soundtrack is really great, and mostly the only Prince songs I know. Saw that Chyna also died. While I know nothing of wrestling, I knew these deaths come in 3s.
You sound like a rabid fan,all I'm saying is don't forget the rest of the people who made the era great,it's not just Prince,Jackson,U2 or whoever your pet favorite is,if it was the 80's would have sucked.
Thing is I'm glad they all were there from the guys I liked to the ones I didn't,from Iron Maiden to Prince they ALL made the 80's the only ones who say it was this one person is rabid fans and publicists.
And I think music is better then ever,there's so much good new stuff it's amazing if you just dig a little.
All I'm gonna say,I just felt the need to vent my opinion.

And I'm pretty sure Iron Maiden didn't help shape the 80's. Just venting...
Why? All your post are really not appropriate for a thread discussing his passing. You didn't needed to vent, you are being a d@#k. The guy dies and it's your opportunity to shower us with your opinions about '80's pop music?

Not a rabid fan, but I definitely respect his talent and his contributions to the music world...and I'll take the music of the 80's over the joke that is the music business today, but to each their own.

Then you weren't paying attention. I'm not a big Maiden fan, but there is not denying their impact on (heavy) music. Their albums from the 1980s have sold over 45 million copies and have had hugely successful tours during that decade. Maiden shaped the 80's for many. Having hit tunes on pop radio and videos on MTV isn't a reasonable measure of success - especially for a metal band.
Prince was an amazing artist and he will be missed. I'm kicking myself for not seeing him when he came around last year - even if I had to pay scalpers prices. He definitely had an impact on me.

My wife and I saw Prince twice on the same tour back in 19wheneveritwas because our seats for the first show were behind the stage and not particularly good. To his credit, Prince made sure to come to the back of the stage and perform several times just for those of us in the cheap seats. I can't say I was (or am) a big fan, but he was very talented and put on one helluva show whenever he performed.

Are you living on Neptune or what?!?
Anyway, even as a Metalhead, I say R.I.P. Prince, because that guy was an awesome guitarist

I really enjoyed his music, Wish I saw him in concert! R.I.P.
I think this thread is not the place to discuss taste. Because that's just what it is: a matter of taste. I'm also not a big fan of him, but nobody can deny he's an icon. Not an icon I admire, but an icon nevertheless.
Even if he wasn't well known: passing at 57 is just too early. Prince, or every other person... Prince's passing comes in the news because he was famous, but that's how the world works. Just a shame that someone dies at 57. Also a shame that music looses someone like him, whether you like his work or not...
Rants aside I'd like to know just what caused him to croak,I had a friend up and die on me a couple years ago at the same age-saw him one week fine,called to ask him something the next and gone heart attack that kind of thing leaves you going "WTF,over?"
So honestly it sucks he died like this.
