Prince owned the better part of the 80s the same way Stevie & Bowie did the 70s.
I'd give Bowie about 6/7 years for Hunky Dory up through Heroes.
Stevie is more like 5/6 years for Music Of My Mind thru SITKOL but he's got more great songs/hits outside his 'classic' window than Prince or Bowie.
P definitely has a full 7 with a ridiculous amount of output in addition to his actual album work thru production/writing for side projects along with a b-side collection better than many artists' greatest hits.
That trumps and/or can hang with anybody which is really about all you can ask for.
