Those are the least DreamWorks-y to me (along with HTTYD and Rise of the Guardians, but these are more DreamWorks-y than the other two). As a rule, I'm not a huge fan of DreamWorks, but they do have a few decent to really good movies.
I haven't seen Spirit or Rise of the Guardians, but I think both Prince of Egypt and HTTYD are fairly mediocre. Prince of Egypt is the most enjoyable DreamWorks movie I've ever watched, yet even its finest moments aren't a patch on the best of the Renaissance. I can't remember any of the songs.

Well then, you need to give the soundtrack another listen. It is fantastic. The only song which could be argued against is "Playing with the Big Boys," but I find the rest to be easily equal to The Hunchback of Notre Dame. The songs are so powerful and spine-tingling. Although, if you don't like Stephen Schwartz, it would make sense why you wouldn't like it.

Yeah, "The Prince of Egypt" soundtrack is pretty great. The score is incredibly powerful and the songs are pretty good. Some of the best I've heard. I would rank the score as Han Zimmer's best score next to "The Lion King."

Agreed about Prince of Egypt!
