Whose death affected /mu/, as a whole, more?
Bowie, clearly. He was actually posted a lot before he died; never really saw anyone talk about Prince before a few days ago on /mu/.
Bowie easily as it was less expected
5'2"
Bowie because he was still doing shit. More people care about Prince though as a whole.
Bowie was never mainstream.
>>64282315
bowie
Only liked prince's most popular singles. hated the fact you could never buy his stuff online or on youtube. shit move tbqh
>>64282348
Prince put out albums 4 and 7 months ago
>>64282361
I hope this is a joke.
Nether desu. They are both people with band wagon fan bases. Talk to me when Sufjan dies and I don't have to pretend I was a massive fan my whole life.
>>64282378
they weren't good. Prince hasn't made a good song for a decade
>>64282376
>you could never buy his stuff online
He's always been on iTunes
>>64282398
I was asking about /mu/ as a whole, not your personal opinion of them.
>Prince affecting in anyway
>>64282412
fuck itunes tbqh
>>64282431
I AM /MU/
>>64282400
same with Bowie
but yea "Black Sweat" was pretty good
and Prince was still putting on great shows
Bowie, cause I took the time to listen to nearly 3/4 of his discography. I've never listened to Prince.
>>64282398
Sufjan will have a bandwaggon fanbase too when he dies, assuming he is still relevant or remembered whenever that is. That's how people get in to artists often. You'd be stupid to assume both Prince and Bowie didn't have a solid fanbase long before as well.
Prince actually had sex.
How could /mu/ identify?
Bowie was just "weird". Easy choice.
>>64282315
Prince because I'm from MN and he's one of, if not the, most influential musician to come from here. Sucks to see him go.
>>64282476
Bowie had more sex than Prince did.
The only deaths that'll affect /mu/ is like Michael Gira or something
>>64282505
statistically impossible. Prince never married and sold more album and was richer and was better looking
I'm gonna say Prince has effected me as whole more. I think that has to factor in his age as well. On the other hand Prince made it so hard for younger people to find his music that i'm not surprised if most people under 25 don't care too much
I find it funny that Prince was so adamant about keeping his music off of streaming services and now an entire generation is going to miss out on his music.
I've never listened to a Prince album. I know he's a great musician though. But Bowie affected /mu/ more as a whole. Did Prince spur off "meme school" posts?
>>64282515
Except Prince was also 5'2" and a Jehovah's Witness.
>>64282509
fuck that rapist
>>64282533
Many people on /mu/ knew barely anything until Prince until two days ago unfortunately.
>>64282515
>Prince never married
wrong
>>64282315
Bowie obviously. I mean Prince is a cool guy and all, has some cool singles. But Bowie was one of the most important and influential artists of the 20th century. Bowie was way more interesting as an artist than Prince.
>>64282562
>But Bowie was one of the most important and influential artists of the 20th century
lmao
lotta people sounding pretty clueless about Bowie and Prince itt
>>64282315
None of them.
You'd have to have grown up in the 70s to care about Bowie.
>Princes only child died after 1 week
damn....
bowie was a trendhopper, prince was an original
bowie just did whatever was cool at the time, prince did his own thing and didn't give a fuck
bowie could just about play guitar, prince was a virtuoso performer of thousands of instruments
but /mu/ likes bowie more, quelle surprise
>>64282562
hahaha someone out there believes this
>>64282636
prince made shitty albums
Link me a prince album thats better than Heroes or Diamond dogs
I'm waiting faggot

Nigga Bowie was no trendhopper, he started fucking trends.
>>64282676
I said link me faggot.
>>64282691
oh yeah? what trends do you think bowie started?
not glam, that was marc bolan
>>64282544
ruck that fapist
>>64282697
all prince's albums are better than anything bowie ever did
why don't you link me?
just saying 'link me' is not an argument
>>64282705
Bowie.
>>64282676
you've got good points, and the other guy sounds like an idiot
BUT
i'll agree with him that as a whole, i like Bowie's albums more, and that's all that really matters
>>64282668
I'm sure Bowie had trusted producers and session musicians to play out the instrumentals Bowie would approve want in the album. Prince, on the other hand, probably written out both the instrumental parts and lyrical of his songs for his session musicians.
>>64282721
link me faggot
>>64282747
all of that shit doesn't matter . it's all about the end result and bowie has made much better albums than prince.
Bowie didn't actually make that much of the music. He was like the Lady Gaga of his time. A pop model.
>>64282768
>>64282789
bowie>prince
>>64282348
>Prince wasn't doing anything
>>64282768
Yet your choice of words seem like you're still giving Bowie all the credit. He may have just had a better team.
>>64282668
Prince ran laps around Bowie musically, it's not even close.
You want to argue about "cultural influence" or being "iconic", fine whatever. But from a musicianship standpoint there is no debate. None.
>>64282978
you faggots have yet to link me a prince album thats better than heroes or diamond dogs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jccpYK7jtQM
Bowie. Bowie was a staple here and it actually hurt when he died.
I could give a shit less about Prince
does anyone actually listen to prince? I just admired him for being a shady bitch.
>>64282636
>>64282636
name the best track by prince.
>>64282438
Erratas
Bowie affected everyone more because unlike Prince he understood the basic lesson of making one's music as available as possible in this day and age.
Prince did a lot of stupid shit but the dumbest thing he ever did was to take down youtube videos of his music and not put his music up on spotify.
Now hardly anyone under the age of thirty gives a shit about Prince's death and he's the only one to blame.
Bowie hands down
I couldn't even hum the melody of a Prince song tbqh
Prince.
Bowie was a cultural icon, but I don't think he made as much impact on the music industry as Prince.
Prince was also objectively a better artist and musician in every capacity.

Please listen to sign o the times. You wont be dissappointed

name the best track by prince?
how many instruments could prince actually play? is there any evidence whatsoever of him playing like a trumpet or a violin or a flute or could he really just do basic rock instrumentation
Both are relics of the past and have done nothing worthwhile for the last 15 years.
>I don't know anything about Prince because he wasn't on youtube
/mu/ confirmed for hilariously pathetic board
>>64283017
Sign o the times. Purple rain. Parade. 1999. Theres 4 albums better. Plus diamond dogs isnt even top 3 bowie. My favorite bowie is starion to starion, low, alladin sane
>>64282440
I'm with you on that. Spotify, YouTube, and google play music are much better alternatives
>>64283205
>Blackstar

>that pretty good album Prince did with a girl band like two years ago whose name I cant recall
>>64283207
Why should anyone give a shit about an artist when they can't even listen to a track without downloading it or buying it?
Honestly give me a reason because even his death isn't making me want to go through the archives to find his music or even torrent it.
I actually kind of wish Prince was alive right now so he could see how little people care about his death in comparison to Bowie's.
>>64283195
well he's known as being one of the best guitarists ever
i don't know the answer to your question,but i think that puts him above "basic rock instrumentation"
>>64283319
>please spoonfeed me
>>64283334
that doesn't make any sense dude.
instrumentation and technical skill are two completely separate things.
guitar is still a core rock instrument even if he plays it really well.
>>64283431
alright
i guess i just read the original post as being very derogatory - maybe it isn't necessarily
>>64283431
eh, on his first album he played every instrument
i think there were like 20 of them, they are listed on the back
i cba typing them all out, google it
>>64283476
yeah, i looked at that too. most of them are just different types of synths and percussion instruments.
listened to prince albums 1999 and dirty mind.
Gave 5/10 and 4/10 respectively.
>>64283514
well that's still more than bowie
and synths take a lot more work than pianos or whatever (unless you make really shitty sounds)
>>64282315
bowie because he turned his death into an art piece
>>64282668
>Diamond dogs
If prince made an album of fart noises it'd be better than that shit.
>>64283396
There's a difference between wanting to be spoonfed and not wanting to waste your time on someone's music who you might not even like. I could download some music by someone who basically has an anonymous presence on the internet musically or I can listen to an artist who actually wants me to listen to their music and I can easily access even from youtube.
And if you're someone who's worried about getting arrested for illegally downloading music (rare I know) you actually have to buy his music even if you want to listen to a complete track to see whether you like it or not.
No one's music, no matter how good it is, is worth this kind of bullshit in this day in age.
I'm glad Prince died when he died, maybe now Robert Fripp will stop being an absolute bitch about his music and put it on spotify.
I'll admit to being someone who didn't (and still doesn't) know much about Prince other than the Purple Rain cover, the Batman soundtrack and the fact that he hated being compared to Hendrix but people saying that anyone under 30 didn't care about Prince are blatantly wrong. Half the posts I saw on facebook were from people college aged.
>>64283396
Do you go to the theater watching films you haven't seen a preview of and haven't heard much about? Cause that's what you're expecting "spoonfed" people to do.
>>64283600
not him but i do that every time
nothing worse than seeing all the 'highlights' first
>>64283319
>Why should anyone give a shit about an artist when they can't even listen to a track without downloading it or buying it?
Jesus christ
>>64283540
yeah, there's no point in really comparing such different artists anyway. I have no doubts that prince was a super talented dude i just feel like people weirdly exaggerate the extent of his multi-instrumentalism

Don't get me wrong, my friend felt really bad about it. But she felt bad because her mum was a big Prince fan and she had grown up with his music already in her house hold.
I'm sure there's lots of people my age who were introduced through his music and some who even bought or downloaded it. But the majority most likely found his music either inaccessible or not even worth their time because of his refusal to give into
>>64283622
You still haven't given me a reason.
>>64283653
Prince kept his music off youtube for years, including music videos.
>>64283624
i think it's just because it became a meme that he played all the instruments on a few albums, particularly the first one because he was like 20 at the time and that was highly unusual at the time
and i think mike oldfield had made such a meal out of doing it on tubular bells that everyone assumed prince was a boy genius
i mean he kind of was, he was super precocious at least
>>64282705
Station to Station was the first album to fuse krautrock with soul music, the Berlin trilogy paved the way for new wave and post-punk.

>>64283926
In an age when I can get music for free and it's expected by the general public why should I put in the effort to a musician I only have vague knowledge of?
To be bluntly honest, Prince hadn't made anything worse listening to in a very long time and because of that his death isn't anywhere near as tragic as Bowie's. Bowie had recently made a big comeback and it's heartbreaking that it was cut so short. When he was working on Blackstar he was planning on having it be his finale but after the album was finished he decided to keep going and make another album. Blackstar is a perfect end to his legacy but I really wish he had gotten to finish that followup album he had in mind, he only got to demo five new songs.

go outside
>>64284118
You're right /mu/ isn't.
Twitter on the other hand might as well be and if you look back at the amount of tweets that was tagged with Bowie's death and Prince I'm sure you're going to find a huge difference in popularity.
>>64284024
Bowie was out of his mind on coke and various other drugs from the late 60's to the middle of the 80's
>>64284218
ok
just pointing out that it doesnt really matter if prince was married or what his height was, the guy was well known for having an extremely active sex life
bowie was known for his sexual endeavours too, it's really pointless to speculate who had more sex
i barely saw prince discussed on here so i'll say bowie
>>64283938
>why should I put in the effort...?
Perfect encapsulation of your pathetic age bracket. Couldn't have said it better myself.
>>64284024
Not saying that prince didn't have more sex. Just saying that Bowie was way better looking.
>my dead musician could beat up your dead musician
Bowie by a million miles.
>>64284338
Good job avoiding the question. Answer me. I put in the effort to get a job, to go to college, these things cost money and have a direct impact on my life. Prince doesn't.
>>64283954
Is this true? Fuck, if so then that's sad as fuck.
>>64284338
This says more about how far behind the times you are dude.
Maybe you should focus more on telling people why Prince is important rather than telling them why they should feel bad that they don't understand why Prince is important.
As it is I'm not going to go so far out of my way for the sake of entertainment.
>>64282448
Have you even heard Blackstar
>>64284118
literally the entire planet responded to Bowie's death, he was a hot topic for at least a month after dying and is still often discussed in the general public, not just on /mu/.
>>64282515
>better looking
Femanon here. Bowie is MUCH more attractive than Prince
>>64282544
Grimm already did
>>64284540
You don't have to be a womyn to know that, Bowie was exotic as fuck early on and later became really good looking while Prince was always an ayy lmao
>>64284515
I don't think Prince was smart for keeping his music away from his web, but if you won't go out of your way to find good and important art you're a very shitty listener.
>>64284590
bit racist
>>64284610
the web*...
>>64284671
idk what you mean
loads of dudes round my way look like that
>>64284630
We're talking about the general public though, the mainstream, where Prince is for at least two previous generations but isn't for millennials.
>>64284690
do you live in the galaxy of andromeda?
>>64284715
well, yes
but so what
Forget /mu/, whose death affected the world more?
>>64284753
Paul McCartney's
>>64284762
Nobody even noticed
>>64284695
He obviously killed his chances to ever be mainstream, for generations who are used to get their music/media exposure from the internet (not only millennials, i'd say "90's kids" count as well). You can't blame the youth for not making him popular despite his efforts to hide his music from them. What you can do is blame a young listener who purports to be into music as an art, unlike the casual audience, for not doing what it takes to know a musician as important as prince.
>>64283954
I hope we get to hear those demos and the full version of Blackstar.
Prince was a better musician. Bowie made better music.
>>64284610
>good and important art
Well first of all its pop music, not important art and it's not even pop music made for my generation.
Secondly I still do that for music that actually interests me and for that the artist usually needs to meet me half way by making their music available to be heard somewhere on the web.
Finally I'm going to listen to Prince but only when Warner put up all his music on spotify and I bet Warner is on fire right now while they try and get his music up as quickly as possible before he fades back into irrelevancy.
>>64284816
>(not only millennials, i'd say "90's kids" count as well)
millenials are 90's kids
and 80's kids too
>>64282315
do u think they fucked
>>64284801
>>64284838
This. I would even go a step further and reformulate that to Bowie was a better artist. It doesn't matter how well you can play an instrument, artistry goes beyond being a skilful musician. Now I am not saying that Prince was a bad artist, but his music is just not as interesting as Bowie's stuff.
>>64282636
>prince was an original
>virtuoso performer
not even close to the shadow of this gem
>>64284844
Can people on /mu/ stop talking shit about how popular music isn't important? He influenced many artists, crossed genres and combined styles. He's very important, and it's art - if he was just a product he wouldn't have bothered reaching any of his musical substence, he could be like MJ.
>>64284865
Not too familliar with generation definitions, thought it refers to kids born after right before/right after 2000, sorry.
>>64282515
>statistically impossible. Prince never married and sold more album and was richer and was better looking
>>He was a sex symbol
>>64285089
Being an image of attraction != having lots of sex with lots of people.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sex_symbols
Springsteen makes the list, none of the biographies I've read paint him as a guy who's had an extremely vibrant sex life, at least compared to others with his level of fame.
That being said, yeah, Bowie probably fucked more people than Prince.
Bowie had a greater affect, mostly on account of him being the better and more talented musician but also because his music was more accessible,
>>64285225
Prince was waay more sexual than Bowie. Given that both of them could probably have as much sex as they wanted, i'd say Prince banged more.
mmm.. A nigger or a beautiful white man. Really hard choice.
>>64282315
/mu/ obviously prefers the black man, it's the most cucked board by far
>>64285354
And you come to "the most cucked board by far" to talk about black men?
>>64285354
/pol/, leave. /mu/ doesn't like your kind.
>Not being a dumb racist means your cucked
Fuck off with your hyperbole.
>>64285402
i came here to make a point about /mu/ which >>64285438 neatly proved for me
/mu/ is full of leftist highschoolers and college freshmen

Prince has made over a dozen albums that are worse than Diamond Dogs.

Bowie hands down
I always kind of thought Prince was the black version of Bowie.
>>64282315
prince, easily
>>64282315
Bowie on /mu/ probably, this board is complete shit.
Prince affected the world a lot more since he was an actual legend.
The way Prince dominated itunes in hours was impressive.
>it's because his music isn't available on the internet
Doesn't mean people were forced to buy his music.
Prince was the bigger artist, and rightfully so.
it still has not processed for me that either of these people are dead
>>64288238
Bowie's online sales went up %5,000 percent the day after he died.
I've been here for almost a decade and I've rarely seen threads about Prince at all where as Bowie albums are pretty frequently posted.
>>64288291
>tfw i used to shitpost "daily reminder that bowie will die in your lifetime" here
Bowie was consistently discussed on here before he died and he was obviously discussed even more after he died. I have never seen one fucking album by Prince being mentioned after years on this board. The answer to OP's question is Bowie. Most people on this board are only now going after Prince because they're contrarian hipsters that are annoyed by all the Bowie posting.
Prince because I was never a fan of Bowie.
>>64282315
They both affected me zero
>>64282518
>I'm gonna say Prince has effected me as whole more. I think that has to factor in his age as well
I kind of agree. The dude was under the age of 60; normally you wouldn't expect him to die.
Bowie is bigger because white people listened to his music while white people have mostly never heard Prince outside the singles from Purple Rain.
Bowie easily
>>64290653
Tons of white people listened to Prince in the 80s, Purple Rain sold over 20 million copies and he did Batman's soundtrack.
>>64290751
Did you even read the post you were replying to?
>>64290780
>white people have mostly never heard Prince outside the singles from Purple Rain
Yes and what you said is wrong. Purple Rain selling so much means a ton of white people heard the entire album. Plus tons of white people heard the songs he did for Batman.
>>64290653
Bowie is bigger because from the 70s to the 10s he always had some cultural relevancy. Prince's problem is he refused to adapt to the internet and that made him irrelevant in the 21st century. Tons of young people have never heard his music because of his anti-internet stance.
>>64282331
/thread
Just to clear things up. People here seem to think that young people don't know Prince's music and that is not true. I am 20 and literally everyone I know my age or people younger than me know who Prince is. Literally everyone knows Kiss, Sexy Motherfucker and Purple Rain, even if they're not on youtube, I heard those songs countless times on the radio.
>>64283938
>why should I put in the effort to a musician I only have vague knowledge of?
This was every musician before the internet happened.
What's crazy when you think about it, is Prince is one of the only big pop stars that made the choice to not give away his music. Why the fuck should he, or any musician?
>>64282361
You thought you were special
>>64282705
Compandas
>>64288330
And look what you did, faggot.
>>64291903
We live in a different age now. It's the same as giving somebody crap for driving to a place they want to go instead of arriving by horseback. Times have changed. If an artist doesn't want to change with the times, fine by them. Don't expect me or anyone else to stay with you back there though.
>>64282315
Bowie, because he's white.
/mu/? Bowie, but it's important to remember that this board is full of white liberals who heard a lot of bowie's music growing up. They'really more familiar with bowie than prince.
Worldwide? Hard to say, we should wait a month and see, people outside of /mu/ stopped caring about Bowie a week or two after he died, people still care about prince but I'm not sure how long it will last. Neither'should death have come close to MJ'so death though
>>64293844
Unless a current media star dies at a young age we won't see anything close to Jackson in decades. The only music stars who maybe have that pull will be Paul, Stevie Wonder, maybe Dylan, a few others. But they're already at an age where it's natural.
davey bowmans
>>64282331
prince would come up once in a while, but mostly only in threads about music he influenced, not really much otherwise, you are still right though.
>>64282438
I was mildly sad, but it was more of an "oh, prince died, that's too bad", unlike Bowie where it almost hit me as hard as my grandfather dying., and I consider myself a fan of both. I think it's that Bowie, both in his music and how he interacted with fans felt more personal, sure he acted through characters but all the characters seemed to have a bit of him in them. Where Prince was this larger than life character and you could never tell where the real him began or ended and he purposely isolated the real him from his fans.

I really was expecting something like Jackson with Bowie but instead it was really weird, where only the relatively younger fans openly grieving and the fans that were actually alive when Bowie was at his peak chastising them for it... I really didn't get it.

/d/ felt it really hard it seems (if you are like "why /d/?" think about it for a bit), I'm not sure why I didn't really.

>better looking

Bowie doesn't really look good in this pic, Prince was a very good looking man, Prince was a more beautiful man but his femininity and manlet status might turn some women off.

Bowie was nowhere near jackson's level of popularity

Paul? Maybe but I doubt it. Stevie and Dylan? No. Now if Madonna were to die in three months that story would be huge.

Not that guy but Bowie looks fucking gorgeous in that picture what are you talking about
>>64294904
No, he doesn't, he doesn't look ugly but it's certainly not one of his better pictures
SERIOUS QUESTION:
people say Prince was an extremely influential artist. But every time I listen to his music it sounds incredibly dated, the production and instrumentation is always very thin sounding, and with the exception of a handful of songs, his music is generally poorly written.
Honestly, what was the big deal about Prince?
>>64294322
Still hot as shit. Bowie is one of the only males that ever made me question my sexuality (i'm pretty much straight, but yeah...).
>>64294286
maybe i'm just stupid, but i gotta ask. why was /d/ so upset?
>>64294986
he had the funk

I'm an avid fan of both men. Around Black Tie White Noise Bowie was back to being amazing. Prince post Golden Experience is a bit hit or miss... I'd say Bowie went out with Black Star which felt like he was saying his goodbye. Prince just kinda.. Went. No goodbye just gone. Sorry Prince but Bowie's death felt more personal.
>>64282515
I'd say Prince had more relationships/sex than Bowie but Bowie had healthier and more loving relationships.

I never heard a Bowie song apart from Let's Dance all my life before coming here but I heard many Prince songs and I believe that Bowie is a better artist. I don't think it has to do with people being more familiar with Bowie's music.
I don't think Prince is going to be mourned after as long as Bowie. When Bowie died my news feed was spammed with people posting gifs and sad statuses and everything. With Prince dead all I saw was two statuses and a few news agencies reporting his death although everyone knew his songs.
>>64282315
Bowie, no question. Prince didn't have a Blackstar and he was rarely talked about here in any case.
Personally, Prince felt like a much bigger loss. I'm not that familiar with Bowie and don't know many fans of his IRL (just lots of people who kinda like him). But I know loads of people who are huge Prince fans including the majority of my family. I'm aware that's completely anecdotal, though.

Bowie's death doesn't make Blackstar any good

>an entire generation is going to miss out on his music
Not really, just the people who are too lazy/disinterested to look for music from any source other than Spotify. I don't think he really cared that much about those kinds of people missing out on his music, because they probably would have just listened to a few singles anyway and never really got 'into' him so to speak.
If you want to listen to him, his older albums must be cheap as fuck by now. It can be fun to get into an artist the old fashioned way. Robert Fripp does this shit as well, it's not that offputting for people who appreciate how special music can be.

guess who's next
>>64282515
Bowie's sex is well documented. He has had countless lovers of both genders (even celebrities) and orgies/threesomes. He was notoriously hedonistic and I'm not sure how you never knew that.
Prince, meanwhile, was a closeted cuck/twink, and there is no disputing that. Sorry to burst your bubble.

this, suf the best

So? He scored more pussy than you ever will.
