i keep hearing him called one of the funkiest men on the planet and so my attention turns to George Clinton and his bands which leaves the material i've heard by Prince paling on the sides.

how about a few examples of his stand outs? something other than 'purple rain' and 'when doves cry' perhaps.
I dont believe any example, say... as one of my favorites by Prince is going to change your opinion. I am a big fan of George Clinton also, and Clinton is by far a pioneer when it comes to the 'core' of funk. And as I have stated in other post's before, I find it hard to say who is #1 when comparing the best of the best.
