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.

I didn't really "get" Prince at first either. His biggest radio hits didn't quite click for me. But then I watched a full concert video and loved it. He was just radiating energy the entire show in a way that wasn't quite captured by the studio recordings IMO. And I think it's one thing to read that he was an incredible multi-instrumentalist versus actually watching him absolutely shred on several different instruments at different times throughout the show.

I think that's true. There are some artists that after you see them live, all their music seems better. Of course, sometimes the opposite is true.
