Overrated at what? He was an exceptional musician, and music creator.
He wasn't supposed to be anything else. It has nothing to do with
liking his music, none of which I personally have.

Instead, you posted the stupidest possibility.

that of his proteges) consistently irritating and nearly inescapable, and I
avoided the radio stations that played it when I could.
That said, I could never say he wasn't influentual, and his Superbowl
performance was pretty damn good. Apparently he learned to play guitar
after I left MN.
Still, haterz gonna hate.

Well, I hope at least you now can say you've listened to an entire Prince song when you say you don't like it. That doesn't sound so ignorant as "I never listened to it AND I don't like it."

You can appreciate someone's talent without liking the choice of songs. The man could write, play and sing very well. I was not a fan but I can see why people were. To me most Pop music is too formulaic and produced to sell. Nothing wrong with cashing in. Hell look at the Kardashians, we are a society where the lowest common denominator sets the tone.
Country music lost me years ago when it went pop, but Merle Haggard's death affected me more than that of Prince.

He never did much for me, but every girlfriend I've ever had nearly had an orgasm any time one of his songs played on the radio. I don't know what it was about him, but I wish they could have bottled it.

Journalist Nik Cohn described him as "rock's greatest ever natural talent".[172] His singing abilities encompassed a wide range from falsetto to baritone and rapid, seemingly effortless shifts of register.[173] In addition to this, Prince was renowned as a multi-instrumentalist.[174][175] He was considered a guitar virtuoso and a master of drums, percussion, bass, keyboards, and synthesizer.[176] On his first five albums, he played nearly all the instruments.[177] The precise number of instruments he was capable of playing remains obscure. On his debut album, he was credited with having played 27 instruments,[178] which based on the album credits included various types of bass, keyboard and synthesizer in the total.[179] When asked during a television interview by Dick Clark how many instruments he could play, he responded, "Thousands."[180]
Thousands! Get it? And you who can barely play the radio. GMAFB!

though, which I think is a record for me. To me Prince was an oddity,
more about exhibitionism than good music. To me it sounds manufactured.
Maybe it's partially a cultural thing, but I never got the appeal.

painting him as the greatest musician ever when he was nothing of the
sort. I get that he fought a good fight for the rights of musicians but
c'mon, his music was ordinary at best. I hope it's safe to turn CNN on
now so I can go back to watching U.S. Primary coverage 24/7 :>)

This song has been playing in my head since I heard he died.

24/7. All I saw yesterday was a note on a Twitter feed. That's it. And
then articles in today's papers that I chose not to read. I know who
he is, after all.
He did pop, but when pop artists get at least some of their stuff
played on the alternative stations, it's clear that they have
something more going for them. I wasn't a fan, but it's beyond dispute
that he had exceptional musical talent. He was hardly overrated. Even
if I didn't like most of his music, I'm also very interested in the
technical side of music, and I was very impressed in that context. But
I did like one of his songs...

concerts. She says she tried to come on to him but he recoiled from her
advance. I always felt after that his overt sexuality onstage was
compensation for someone who in life was sexually repressed.

I think his symbol was a hint to what is going on in his/her pants.

TIL Prince used an image of Dave Chappelle dressed as him on the cover
of his 2013 single, "Breakfast Can Wait." When asked about it
Chappelle said, "What am I going to do — sue him for using a picture
of me dressed up like him? ... That's checkmate right there."

Its hard to explain how a celebrity death can affect you. One recent one that made me think was Glenn Frey. I watched the Eagles documentary "History of the Eagles" not long before he died. I almost wish I hadn't because Frey came off as a huge dickwad and actually made me like his music less. He can off as petty and greedy.

The best car option to come along in a long time is the hard disk in the radio. I have about 2,000 songs in my car that I play randomly most of the time i am driving.
