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.

Yeah it's subjective, but you can also break it down into categories related to technical proficiency, improvisational ability, musicality, etc., and I think Prince is near the top of them all. I'm curious who you think is among the best guitarists if Prince isn't one of them
