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.

Here's the thing. You don't ever "get" Prince. You do your own thing. Carry on your way. Once you get good at or enjoy something, Pirnce snaps his head over his shoulder and... rocks it better... without saying a word.

Prime example is the 2004 R&RHF perfomance that a couple of other people have posted. There is a part while he's soloing that you can catch Tom Petty just thinking to himself, "Man, this kat's wild".

He's just an insanely talented instrumentalist, songwriter, perfomer & from what I've been told an incredibly kind person. I'm not even a big fan of his, but you got to respect.
