No artist of the rock & roll era compares to singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Prince. He was the rare combination of a visionary pop conceptualist and master musician who could capture the sounds he imagined. This quality fueled his remarkable success throughout the 1980s, a decade in which he authored a string of nine gold, platinum, or multi-platinum albums that included 1999 (1982), Purple Rain (1984), and Sign 'o' the Times (1987). Ideas came to Prince so quickly that they couldn't be contained on his own records. He masterminded albums by the Time and Sheila E. and gave away hit songs to the Bangles and Sheena Easton, shaping the sound of popular music in the process. There wasn't an area of pop music in the '80s that didn't bear his influence: it could be heard in freaky funk and R&B slow jams, in electro-techno and neo-psychedelic rock, and at the top of the pop charts. Prince's reign continued into the early '90s, a time which found him swap long-time partners the Revolution for the jazz-funk New Power Generation, his band on eighth Top Ten album Diamonds and Pearls (1991). By the middle of the decade, he'd entered a cold war with his record company. Once he was emancipated from his contract, he seized the opportunity to release as much music as he could record, and again took aim at mainstream, returning to the Top Ten with Musicology (2004) and to number one with 3121 (2006). The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee produced new music at a furious pace in his last decade, up through the simultaneous Top Ten entries PlectrumElectrum and Art Official Age (2014). That's what made his death in 2016 such a shock. His music was ceaselessly, endlessly alive and full of possibility.
