I've been having a huge argument with a friend about the guitar playing of Prince and Chris Rea.

We just can't agree on this one, and it's led on several occasions to physical confrontations, and ultimately in the last instance to a trip to A&E at 3am in the morning.

My friend swears, completely falsely, that Chris Rea is only 16 times worse than Prince at playing guitar, but I, having been a true Prince fan since way back when, know that really Prince is at least 37 times better.

How can he be so blind? I've a good mind to right off our friendship and find someone else to be my friend.

What should I do???

He is exactly 23 times better than Chris Rea.

first: who is chris rea?

Forget Mr Rea and Mr Nelson.

Worship the god that is Chris DeBurgh!

Prince is only 170% better than Chris Rea.
37 times better? How is that possible? They can both play.

Prince might be 37 times better than, say a squirrel, 'cos lets face it, they basically just run up and down the strings scratching at them more or less at random, and occasionally they bury their plectrums for future tours.

Clearly there is only one way to settle this argument for UK orgers. They should both audition at the end of Phoenix Nights and let the panel decide. 'Garlic Bread --- its the future!'

Listen, Chris Rea can't carry Prince's leopard skin pickguard. Pummel him. It's your only way to bring closure to this issue.
