On the ONA Live set he does a country version of Alphabet st. ("I like country music too!")
And I suppose TAC can be classed as latin/bossa. What about heavy metal? |

Well, there is his version of "Take 5." It's originally in 5/8(4), but I think he plays it in 6/8(4)... | |

what genre would the live version of Sister be in Lovesexy88 live?
what genre is the chanting that comes up in the mix when he says "all the crack in Compton won't set you free" in "Escape"? What genre is "Solo"? What genre is "Place in Heaven"? What genre is "Grand Progression"? What genre is the soloing/instrumental at the end of "Glam Slam"? My art book: http://www.lulu.com/spotl...ecomicskid

You know, "Solo" might be considered Chinese opera. It doesn't sound like some of the modern takes on traditional Chinese opera I've heard, but Prince co-wrote it with a Chinese composer and it was intended for an opera, soo....? | |

But that don't compute when it comes 2 Y-O-U. |

Damn ... I missed that .. there was always going to be a market for 'Wedding Feast' ready to be milked. That Prince knows a business opprtunity when he hears it. . ALT+PLS+RTN: Pure as a pane of ice. It's a gift. |

While not a genre, I'd like to hear Prince sing a whole song in a foreign language. "Just like the sun, the Rainbow Children rise."

How about indie rock/guitar band stuff? He generally does more straight ahead rock with big guitar solos. He had some punk thrown in there in the early days, I know. But he's never really done anything in the Oasis/Libertines/Arctic Monkeys area, has he? (yes, I know Prince came first etc etc) |
