PRINCE has been stuck in the r&b. ballad, and pop mode for awhile now. in concert, he constantly does sly and the family stone cover songs. i wish he would do an album with just guitar, bass, and drums. prince did that with the undertaker project which was never offically released. i feel alot of fams here want him to kick some fucking ass and rock out!

again with this rock fledged album ..understand that he is a funk artist first and 4most ..if u want him 2 do a rock album, he's been there done that and it's called chaos and disorder. and the last time he did a mostly rock/pop album we got that crap called planet earth.

if u don't like funk then i'm sorry that's what prince's music is really comprised off, dance grooves.

Hopefully not.

I thought P's albums WAS rock albums

and it's a brilliant piece of work.

Didn't we talk about this before? And yes, he really should do one. But I don't think he will since his music is all over the place. But the closest we've gotten to Rock albums were Purple Rain, Chaos and Disorder, and Planet Earth. All of which are great, by the way!

No, genius. Prince is a musician that PLAYS funk and rock, and whatever else he likes to do. There's a difference. And I will defend to the death the importance of "Planet Earth" and "Chaos and Disorder" for they are underrated gems.

Probably.

Never.

Prince isn't a rock artist. He isn't an R&B artist, he isn't a funk artist, either.

He's a musician!!!

He'll never make an album that fits in one box like that!!!

All of his albums will have some Rock stuff, some Soul/R&B stuff, and some Funky Stuff!!!

you can't blame rock for that album!

the grammy award-winning "future baby mama" is light years away from "stairway to heaven" or "purple haze", mmmkay?

Prince rock albums; Dirty Mind, Purple Rain, Chaos and Disorder.

i wasn't a big fan of planet earth. i want more songs like the original witness 4 the prosecution and so on. i want songs were the riff is in his quitar playing. songs such as i'm yours or bambi are great examples. i want songs were i can put the volume on full plast!

chaos yes ...planet crap? HELL 2 THE NIZZAW!!!

Anxiety said:

yes stairway and purple haze r classics ..FBM is a xample of classic crap my bad 4 saying that

but i can blame others 4 wanting this type of rock album like they did prior 2 planet crap dropping ..c what happens when u ask 4 something, u just might get it...

so i'll stop asking 4 a full fledged funk album

Thanks for the update, you must be Prince's personal representative Prince does what he feels like, he isn't just a funk artist.

i want prince to write music from his anger again. in his glory years, you could feel the pain in his bellowing screams. songs like the beautiful ones and darling nikki were from his heart and soul. there was no plastic production nonsense in the way those songs were produced and arranged.

He wasnt writing about anger back then he was writing about sex or did you miss that completely again?

LMFAO, Rusty I wrote a nice post on your 80´s thread, but the thread was shut before I could post it, which reminded me that, Bowie would probably not be a legend without his 70´s music

i agree that he just isn't a funk artist, but he's also not just a artist with a guitar that needs 2 rock everything out everytime 4 over an hour.
