If you say so. I tend to disagree. Rolling Stone pick both artists best song, didn't pick these ones. Would of chose Smells Like Teen Spirit vs When Doves Cry to make a better comparison, but choose to be fair in song selection. Compare voices and compare guitar work.
The raw energy of Nirvana vs the over produced songs of Prince. Even Prince's vocals seem to be over synthesized. It's really pop rock vs hard rock, just my take. .
