Your determination is based on Bowie being born 10 years earlier?
I'm not sure why this is a competition, but Prince was a prodigy musician who could play every single instrument at an
expert level. He wrote his own lyrics (and the songs of many others) and his own music. The guy was fucking over-the-top talented.
I like a lot of Bowie's stuff. There is no question he was great. But Prince had more talent in his left hand than Bowie had in his entire body.
