He is fantastic. Not a fan of his music. Bowie.

I prefer Bowie by a huge amount, but Prince deserves some props too.

I only have two Princes unless you count the Miles Davis album. I have a huge portion of Bowie's stuff. Prince will not get much respect I suspect.

Based on pure musical ability, soulfulness, eccentricity and proficiency, Prince wins outright.
Based on judiciousness regarding quality over quantity, selection of sidemen and craftsmanship, Bowie takes the cake.
Without either of them, the world would be a far less musical place. Voted for both.

Great poll actually Both exceptional talents so I voted for both. From a personal taste POV I would have gone with Bowie but still interesting and time will tell what the polls say :-)
