But no, sorry, I am not wrong. In my view, according to my tastes as a lover of classic rock, I would rank Hendrix far FAR above anything "Prince", period. Prince did his big ol' Purple rain thing in the 80's, had some pop hits back then, pretty much end of story from where I sit. I haven't heard anything "huge" out of the guy since. He may have new stuff out there, I don't know, but if he does it certainly isn't getting any airplay on the kinds of rock stations I listen to.

But you're right... it is pointless to compare him to Hendrix, which is kind of what I was trying to say to the other guy who did that in the first place. :D
