It isn't necessary to preface every statement with "in my opinion". I think it's implied.
Yes Comfortably numb is shite, imho

I tend to like the slightly later stuff rather than the 80's era, just because I have an aversion to the 80's sound in general.
With that in mind, Purple Rain isn't one of my favourite songs of his. I don't hate it, but I'd never stick the original studio version on to listen to for fun. A decent live recording of it tends to up the appeal for me, and there are some iconinc moments in the song, but, yeah.....maybe a tad overrated as a song.
It has been somewhat beaten into the ground in recent times when literally every cover band and celebrity artist / group played it as a tribute to Prince passing away.
What a talent though - and how unfortunate I saw him during his "slave / lawsuit" era at Birmingham NEC. Still ranks as one of the dullest gigs I've ever been to - this was during the time he was refusing to play his (old) hits and we got served up an over-rehearsed funk band taking no chances delivering a fresh from the fridge stone cold by the numbers performance. Lord I wished I'd have seen him in the early 80s doing Controversy et al....
Been uploading old tracks I recorded ages ago and hopefully some new noodles here.
There are plenty of people who will shit all over something you like, and will refuse to accept that it's completely subjective because they have a profound dislike for it.
So to me, it's not implied. You say something in such a decisive way, I'm reading it as it's said.
He got a little bit lost around the Lovesexy/Black Album era and I lost interest in his music but still think the whole Purple Rain soundtrack is a good album and the film underrated. Not sure if I've ever seen it on TV?
The song itself remains one of his best IMO, if not THE best. But then again, I also love John Lennon's Imagine. Each to their own! Hated his version of 'Stand By Me' though! (Lennon, not Prince!)
