Record sales doesn't equal merit or artistic talent. Much of the time it represents a successful marketing machine at work.

The guy is full of himself - a product of his own P.R. dept. His music isn't memorable and will be little more than a footnote in the history books over time.

This statement leads me to believe that you know absolutely nothing about Prince.

I don't care for his music at all. I don't care for his shows. I don't care for the fanfare. But to honestly sit there and say that this man is not a great musician and does not have great talent is... well, stupid.

How many artists, and I'll use that word very loosely, do you know that can stand up and say that they taught themselves how to play multiple instruments as a youngster? And of those artists, how many can say that they have mastered said instruments?

Prince can.
