Taste. It is a matter of taste. I have heard the vast majority of his output and I have liked MAYBE two songs.

prince knows his way around more than just a fret board, he is very musically inclined and involved in the production of all the music he writes/performs..
It is indeed a matter of taste, and I respect that prince is not your cup of tea, so long as we all agree to at the least respect prince as an artist with some talent and artistic integrity.

Again, I bring up that atrocious recent single "Screwdriver." Tell me that piece of crap measures up to the work that made his name.

No, but artists are allowed to change their approach to their art, and I don't think that prince is taking his current approach any less serious than his previous projects.
Why am I even arguing so much on prince's behalf? Fuck it. Either the dude's work speaks for itself or it doesn't, ain't much else to add..
