They were one of the most if not the most influential bands of th the 80's.
Should they get back for a reunion?

No.

To be honest, I don't think they were one of the most influential bands of the '80s. Sure, I loved the music they made, and I think I was lucky to see them all before the split. When people look back, I think they will always think 'Prince' as being the influence in musical terms (regardless of what contributions other individual band members and the band as a whole may have made).

Reunion?

It was fun to see Bobby, Matt and Mark perform with Prince in 2000, and it would have been great to have seen Wendy and Lisa on stage too with him for a happy 5 minutes. But I'm not desperate to see it for anything more than a brief dose of nostalgia.

Reunion? They already did. Kinda.

The Revolution was a fun band.

The Revolution did have a reunion. It was in Los Angeles at the Forum in December 2003 - it was called The Family Jamm. Sheila E organized it.

Those pictures paint quite a reality check, dontcha think?

It furthers the notion that Prince is, indeed, an alien.

Prost!

LOL. Well, Prince wears alot of makeup. Close up u can see Prince IS looking older 2. Prince is, indeed, a eccentric human.

Hey, isn't that John Larroquette on the right? You know, Dan Fielding from Night Court (80's)?

Reply to 'Prince & The Revolution?'

Prince does not have to ever play another note with them.

Their place in history is already made.

Well I think that Prince and The Revolution broke culture barriers and blurred racial lines with the perfect mix of Dance, R&B and Rock. They were all over every chart on Billboard. I too saw them 3 times and walked away from the shows awestruck and inspired. There was a mysteriousness to them and the dark edge definately worked to their advantage. The songs weren't default throw aways like they seem to be now. Everything sounds very "cutting room floor" these days.
They sounded CLASSIC and still to this day sound ahead of their time. You're right about the dose of nostalgia, but The Revolution was cut off without any real closure. Kinda like The Police. Now look at Sting these days...a VH1 Icon. Whooopppeeee.

I like the mature prince.....less girly looking...yet his eyeliner is fly

if they want to...go for it...


oh and:

who are we to say what prince should or should not do? people need to get over the fact that prince will never record a NPS Part 2 and accept he is a creative genius who has the right to do or say whatever he wants. i love anything and everything prince does so fuck off to anyone who doesnt think like me..


haters!!!

And with age comes wisdom, can u c that Prince is looking the blackest he has since his teens. He obviously has got over his nearly white Kisss phase, 4 47 he still looks youngish I feel. At the rate he goes he should live to 80.

Yes they should, however the white guys need hair dyes, and only to do oldies material, no new stuff!!!

As far as I am concerned with Prince its like 1987 4eva

YES!!! A DEFINITIVE YES!!! THEY WERE THE BEST BAND EVER!!!!

july said:

Indeed.

And YES! I'd love a reunion.

the sum was greater than it's parts in this instance.

Yes! Prince and his music have NEVER been as good as it was when he was composing and writing with Wendy & Lisa.
