I know, it sounds hilarious when you say Prince is 'under-rated' but he is probably the most complete musician in the history of modern music and is ridiculously under-rated. There is virtually nobody with his skill set for writing, composing, performing and raw talent. I can't remember when I saw it, but he was interviewed once, and the dingbat asked him what he thought about Bieber, Gaga, American Idol...etc. He just looked at her, and said something along the lines of "I make music." It is mind boggling to think he has 300+ unreleased, fully produced songs locked away. His estate is going to be ridiculously valuable.
