As a person, perhaps he wasn't reputed to be the greatest guy, but as a musician, his impact was absolutely enormous. I got a copy of Purple Rain when I was 15 and it absolutely blew me away. One of the greatest albums of all time. I slipped the DJ at my senior prom a tenner to play the title track so I can try to get some from my date. It was 2000 and not 1984, so that tells you how cool I was.
But yeah, his songwriting, his musicianship, his penchant for the outrageous and spectacular...he was a very unique figure in pop music. I don't know how many of you were/are into Prince, but I know [MENTION=848]dalamon[/MENTION] is in love with Andre3000, and I'm not sure there would've been Andre3000 without Prince.
