Bowie has the highest entry but Prince has more on the list.
VERDICT: Inconclusive because it's Rolling Stone and the rules say that I must insult it.

Bowie's got 4 songs on the 500 greatest songs of all time list (46. "Heroes", 127. "Changes, 277. "Ziggy Stardust", 481. "Young Americans").
Prince has 6 (52. "When Doves Cry", 108. "Little Red Corvette", 143. "Purple Rain", 212. "1999", 299. "Sign O' The Times", 461. "Kiss")
Prince was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame I think two years ago? Whenever it was, he apparently played a gig with other inductees that was the best induction jam session ever.

I would love to see a "TS: Prince vs. Robert Pollard" thread, only to see Matos have to make that excruciating decision.

I'm also starting to wonder if Canada and the US differ greatly in their opinions on Prince.

This planet I guess, Prince occupying a different universe entirely. I wouldn't want go through every cd, but genres he's done which I don't think Prince has done; folk, reggae, chanson, ambient, krautrock, d'n'b, industrial, bootlegs, cabaret, classical.

you are wrong about pretty much all of these, except maybe industrial. "bootleg" is not a genre style.x-post

* Bowie never gave up a tour to do a movie along the lines of Under A Cherry Moon.
* Prince never had himself naked on an album cover where HALF HIS BODY WAS THAT OF A DOG!
* Bowie never had entertaining protogé ho side acts like "Iman 6".
So, the score is STILL even.

It was on Tonight and featured Tina Turner, horror's a bit of an understatement.

FWIW I also get more icy detachment out of "When Doves Cry" than out of Bowie, whom I also hear in more of a 'Byronic melodrama' sort of way.
Maybe Wes Anderson has just ruined Bowie for me a little bit though.

And again, the singing thing. Fine.. a lot of people consider that a paramount attribute in the quality of one artist over another, and while I think it's important, I feel there are far more qualities just as important as a wide vocal range and a good use of it.
