What is the etiquette for waiting after a celebrity death before we all start digging up old reports and calling him a statutory rapist?

Decebal posted:You showed your hand too early with this one, bud I am being quite honest. Perhaps you haven't really thought about it, you may be less aghast. #1 Hits Prince: 5 Bowie: 2 Top 100 hits Prince: 40 Bowie: 20 or 22 depending on what I'm seeing Instruments played Prince: 27 Bowie: 13 Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Artists: Prince: #27 Bowie: #39 When Purple Rain came out everybody claimed that either Prince or Michael Jackson was the biggest star in the world, something nobody ever said about Bowie. Eric Clapton was once asked how it feels to be the best guitar player that ever lived: "I don't know ask Prince" The artist David Bowie is most often compared to is most likely Alice Cooper. The artist Prince is most often compared to is Mozart. Bowie was very influential, but then again so was Prince, albeit in a different way. It was rather unfortunate fashion that everyone in the early 80s was wearing, but then again so was Stardust. If I were to compare them like artists I'd say Bowie was most like Andy Warhol. Technicality wasn't as important as the scene he created around him. But if I was to compare Prince to an artist, I'd say he's more like Frank Gehry, technically proficient as he is influential, just with less scene. So why do people put Bowie ahead of Prince? In my opinion it's relatability. It certainly isn't song structure, accomplishments or technical prowess.

Using chart placement for singles is the dumbest possible metric for judging artists, by your logic, the Eagles are better than both of them. Also, Rolling Stone doesn't know rear end from elbows.

All metrics boil down to opinion. "I think Prince is better" is not really a quantifiable argument so I use the only means we have. Drunk Nerds posted:I read you, Bowie is more relatable than... those people, you know who I mean. Dogwhistle heard, loud and clear For this forum, I'd say absolutely Bowie is more relatable to the navel-gazing white autists that make up the majority of goons.

Drunk Nerds posted:Fair enough. Did you use logic to make your counterpoint and I missed it? I kinda skipped a few pages itt Basically what I was saying is that using people's ability to chart on Billboard is a poor way to judge their influence. To wit, The Eagles Greatest Hits is I think either #3 or #4 all time in sales, but it doesn't make the Eagles a great band, it just means they make pleasant rock that the masses enjoy. And that's fine. But it sure as poo poo doesn't make them better than Led Zeppelin, just like Prince outselling Bowie doesn't make him better. Now if you want to argue the quality of their discographies, that's somehting to measure them by. And also, taking a magazine (RS) that is completely and utterly irrelevant when it comes to music coverage as a metric to prove an artist is better than another seems silly to me.

Never listened to much of his music, mainly just heard he was a lunatic and kind of a litigious rear end in a top hat.

Prince wasn't as influential as Bowie, even though he was a better musician. Prince was one of a kind while Bowie had tons of imitators. I have great respect for both of them, but it's not really worth arguing who was "better".

I'm open to counter-arguments. The only thing I take exception to is someone acting like there's no argument to be made in Prince's defense over David Bowie, an artist I've always liked but never had any songs that I'd call masterpieces.
