While we're talking about legendary musicians, let's bring Prince into the picture. The tiny guitar hero is simply one of the best musicians who ever lived. Slash was incredible with a guitar, but Prince could play any instrument he laid his hands on, and do it better than almost anybody else. He wrote hundreds of songs during his life, from 'Purple Rain' to 'When Doves Cry,' and when he decided one of his creations wasn't for him, he'd sell it to somebody else. Sinead O'Connor owes her whole career to him because he gave her 'Nothing Compares 2 U.'
With his flamboyant style of dress and his slightly surly character, we can't help but wonder if Jafar from 'Aladdin' was capable of playing a few smooth licks if someone handed him a Fender Stratocaster. Both men have a definite flair for the theatrical, to say the least. We just doubt that the evil Jafar has enough love in his heart to write something as delicate and beautiful as 'Purple Rain.'
