Sorry but that's just moronic.
Everyone knows Purple Rain, Little Red Corvette, 1999, When Doves Cry, Take Me With U, Raspberry Beret, Sign o' the Times.... to say nothing of the songs he's written for other people which became hits - Nothing Compares to U, Manic Monday etc.

Fine if you don't like him but don't try to espouse your dislike of his music in ignorance. He's a well respected artist - a legend actually - and just because he didn't support The Fall doesn't mean nobody listens to him. Your prejudice is showing.

I'll guarantee you one thing: the average Eddie Punchclock can list off more Prince songs than he can Fall ones.
