There is much more to music and the appreciation of it than that. Music is not science. There is an aspect of it that cannot be readily defined by the analytical mind. That part of this appreciation can vary widely. Those who say their taste is better than others are musical snobs plain and simple. Tell me what you like and I'll pass judgment on your taste.  |
I can't really say it better than that. Skybird, U crank and others are simply saying have respect for those that have just passed and have respect for the opinions of others as well. I agree with them.
I agree with you in that I didn't particularly care for his music and I'm free to like the music I like, as you and everyone else is as well. as my uncle would say, " If we all liked the same thing, the world would run out of Chocolate Ice Cream.
Prince was a gifted musician and producer in addition to being innovative in his approach to music. Innovation and taking chances and risks are what make music great. People are simply saying observe some decorum.
