I wouldn't say Mike is a worse musician, they're just pretty different. Both experimented with styles, but Prince actually experimented with the sound, giving it a more artful flavor, where Mike was more about great, straight ahead pop music. Prince may have also hated comparison to Mike he may have received as a great pop songwriter, as when you write great pop you're likely going to be compared to Mike, one of the Beatles (Paul, really), or Brian Wilson (in my universe).

RMR, i definitely still need to listen to this masterpiece (i love all the singles), but I just wanted to say that "Norwegian Wood" tip is fascinating, especially since its one of (if not the) best Beatles songs, as well as a lovely, well written piece in any pop or rock context.
