            Bob Dylan would get my vote for the all time most overrated singer.

                  I think he was more famous for his lyrics.

                            I think there are hundreds of stars who deserve to be overrated before Prince would....

                            Kevin Smith's story about working with him though is priceless and hilarious, you can see it in An Evening with Kevin Smith DVD

                              How can you know he is talented if you dont like his music? Because he is innovative? You can be as innovative as you want, if you dont endup with something that people(or atleast a fair 1 of people) will enjoy greatly.. I think you missed the mark..

                                I like his song "When Doves Cry," but I never liked Prince one bit.

                                  Prince has nearly a "Legend" status... otherwise I wouldnt have a problem with him..

                                    "Nothing compares" ... probably his biggest hits.. but he didnt sing it..

                                        Prince kicks ass. Purple Rain, when doves cry and sexy motherfucker are all very good.

                                          Yes, Prince has made about 100+ songs that I love and listen to over and over.
                                          Overrated = Michael Pedo Jackson.

                                            He is talented and industrious. Very few artists can match him on the scope of his contributions and brilliance of his work.

                                            His music is just the tip of the iceberg when in comes to recognizing what he has done for the music industry.

                                            He's on my top 5 list of all time creative artists.

                                              There is only one word that can explain his phenomenon:

                                              "Batdance"

                                              Actually I love his songs on the Batman soundtrack....including Batdance.

                                                Who is Bob Dylan? If you don't mind me asking.

                                                  Like they say.. say it enough times and people will believe it...

                                                  Can you tell me which of his song his the most revolutionary and has inspired many artists? What in hip hop & RnB is inspired by Prince exactly? Or even in pop.. can you pin point it?

                                                  WHo even remotly imitate Prince?

                                                    so true prince is classic while mj is just a sketch head case.

I see him only as a very talented musician and original artist. Aside from his own music, he has also written and from what I understand composed many songs for other artists that went on to become huge hits.

                                                                    I don't hear his influence in much of today's music and I think the direction of music probably has something to do with it. Prince has more or less rejected hip-hop and he wasn't a precursor to the "alternative" music that Nirvana played. Both hip-hop and alternative rock are what dominate the music scene today so it may not be surprising that we don't hear his influence. I think he's loved because he consistently created original music and he has been pretty prolific (in other words, far from a one hit wonder)

                                                                    The only person I can think of that has had any profound effect on music since Elvis is Bob Marley. You can hear his influence in all forms of music today including hip-hop, rock, punk, "alternative". He sells more albums than the Beatles, Zeppelin, and all the other heavy hitters each year. And in every far reach of the globe the name Bob Marley is recognizable.
