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.

I mean when you set up an argument like that, what's the response? "No! you're wrong!"

A lot of people think he's an incredible guitarist. A lot of highly-regarded guitarists think he's an incredible guitarist. I know these are appeals to authority, but just because he's not in your top 5/10/100 doesn't mean he's not one of the best.
