iF PRINCE only had made instrumental music up 2 now would u be a fam? So what do u all think. If the vocals were really sparse, and Prince only made instrumentals. I know this is a tough question but let's pose that after Purple Rain he only made instrumental albums (madhouse et al)...would u still b a fam?? "Time is a train, makes the future the past" | |

Too hypothetical. Can't really answer the question since Prince wouldn't be Prince if he had only made instrumental albums ya' know? Without a body of work to judge, who's to say. He'd probably lose some fans, probably gain some fans. | |

hard question. personally i think of prince's voice as another "instrument" on its own as his lyrics aren't too "deep". i imagine songs without his voice, but y'know the "ooh"'s and screams at the right time - that's just the cream on top of most on his songs. | |

Now that this is a fact I would like 2 hear y'alls opinions
Maybe I was getting on 2 something there??? Anyways I'm quite enjoying his instrumental output [This message was edited Thu Aug 7 4:02:25 PDT 2003 by starbuck] "Time is a train, makes the future the past" | |

No. We never would have heard of him. Same as if he had always sung in a different language. | |

well, ol' boy dabbled in instrumentals early on in his career and i like those...i wouldn't dig him as much as i do, probably.
and i ain't a "fam", so no. | |

Of course, it would depend on the output but, given that he has released some of the most astonishing music over the years, I'm sure most of it would have been great!!
I think the real question here though is "Do you like instrumental music?" - well, yes I do! A number of bands that I listen to are either purely or mainly instrumental and even the band I play with has had a 20-year, 20 album career just on instrumental music! As long as it can take you somewhere and build some sort of sonic picture, then there is nothing wrong with instrumental work - if its vapid and characterless, then its just muzak - yeeuchhh! ...we have only scratched the surface of what the mind can do...
