But yeah, I've always agreed with your assessment of Prince the rocker.... He's often overestimated, especially by people who are really not that much into rock themselves. So I feel you speak with some degree with authority being our resident hard rock connoisseur.
(of course, a lot of rock musicians *do* hold Prince in awe... but I always wonder whether they admire him in a general sense as a musician and showman or whether they really see him as occupying the same genre space as them)
