I love many different genres of music. However I just have never been able to get into Prince. I actually do like that genre/style of music, I just cannot get it for some reason. And I know hes lauded as a musical genius, and I dont see why.

Wish I could help you, I never have understood it either. I think it has a lot of social factors that I don't get, not having lived through that era of his heyday. When my aunt or family friends describe why they love Prince, it sounds like they're really just talking about how his songs were everywhere during formative years of their lives. Everyone I've talked to about it really has more of an emotional connection than any actual technical appreciation of his music.
