Stereotypes and assumptions are bad but some may contain a kernel of truth in them. Also, any black person from Minnesota who gets offended because you assume they they like Prince is by (my) definition a dick.

As for Prince vs. Bolan...Actually, I would easily take Prince over Bolan.. not to dismiss Bolan by any means..(ask Ned, who's a witness to my mass collection of T. Rex material the past year or so) but Bolan has the slight disadvantage of, how to put it gently, being dead?... also dying right before a spark that could have possible re-propelled his career, too. Prince vs. Bolan is a rather unfair taking sides really.

Oh, and Bowie wins this sheerly on the strength of a fleeting moment in "It's No Game (Part 1)" where he sings..."Put a bullet in my brain...AND IT MAKES ALL THE PAPERS! (followed by indecipherable Japanese exhorting). That little moment right there is cooler than EVERYTHING little Mr. Nelson has ever done and verily will ever do.

I'll admit he's doing something on that track, though I'm not sure "sing" is the right word for it. "Croon" is a bit closer. In any case, whatever he's doing, it makes me wince.

And a good man you are to be doing that. I now have all the new remasters and really am just waiting on the final piece of the puzzle, the upcoming Born to Boogie DVD.

In 1988 I wouldn't have entirely put it past him.

I find this difficult to believe unless you are defining "musical" to be "Anglicized indie-rock".

I mean, in America, Prince is unquestionably the more prominent figure, just in terms of exposure.

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.
