Wait, is Prince really underrated? I always thought he was pretty sick.

No he isn't, but there is an international bylaw that states that whenever a thread appears concerning underrated guitarists, some twat has to say Prince. There's probably already six threads about underrated guitarists on this forum already, and someone says Prince on all of them. Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just following the rules. I don't even like Prince. Fuck him.

Ps. Prince

Pat Place.

I can name a dozen more.
