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.

watch purple rain. great movie and soundtrack. this dude practically ruled the 80s and the genre "minneapolis sound" is pretty much just him and bands he gave his songs to. lots of hits, instantly recognizable voice and sound, especially the drums. he has excellent vocal control and amazing pipes
