Whats silly about it you answered it didnt you?? did you even read what I said I said I couldnt seperate them, not prince was more gifted.

Also what has his dirty lyrics and gender bending got to do with who is the most gifted musician and if you think he ruined black music what the hell are you doing on a prince forum anyway????

Easy, rolling, easy. It's baiting.
Just let it go man.
Just let it go.
Based on the crazed use of the cap feature & the MJ tinged screenname, you don't know what kind of person you may be dealin' wit' here.
For all we know, this person may some kind of disturbed, maniacal scary-ass looking clown.

He's also a kick-ass drummer. most of the drumming on his 3 essentials: Talking book, Songs in the Key of Life and Innervisions are played by Stevie himself. I think he also plays drums with Jimi Hendrix on the BBC Sessions.

I love me some Stevie, but come on now...

Prince is the most gifted person on this planet, musically speaking.
Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.

I think Stevie's released catalog trumps Prince's. And, it's my understanding he has a mean Vault, too.

Stevie plays other instruments beyond the piano and harmonica, as others have already stated.

I think one does a disservice to talk about Stevie as only a musician. His efforts to push for a Martin Luther King Jr. holiday during the 1980s was an awesome thing to behold. His humanitarian efforts. Stevie has been such a force of positivity and social commentary THROUGHOUT his career.

He's a musical giant, yes. But, he's much more, to me.

Why is this even a comparison? They are both gifted in their own unique way. It's a draw.
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

I like them both. Isn't Stevie mostly R&B and soul..

I have to say Prince is that and a whole lot more, he is more experimental and adventurous.
