Anyone picking Purple Rain to go out before Nevermind has never played an hour instrument in their lives. 

Or they just like that they can learn every song on Nevermind within a few weeks, whereas you could try your entire life, but you ain’t coming close to what Prince could do unless you’re goddamn Prince. 

Eh, Prince is the most overrated guitarist I've ever heard of.  Sure, he can play, but he didn't master or reinvent the instrument like the greats he's classed with.  He's second tier.  There are bar bands and cover bands out there with guitarists at least as good and better.
Nirvana was different.  They bucked trends and changed the landscape of music.  Purple Rain didn't. 
It wasn't even the best album of '84, Ride The Lightning and Born in the USA are better.

Whitesnake - Slide It In

The Fat Boys - S/T

Run-DMC - S/T

Ratt - Out of The Cellar

Very possibly good points!  Question is, could Prince play guitar while standing on his head- just his head?
