What kind of music you like created by Prince?

Songs that contains repetitive bass lines with drum machines

with sparse production and two or three chords

or you are fan of Prince's more complex matrial with

many chord changes,more complex arangments and organic sound?

I am fan of both but i think Prince works the best when he keeps it simple.

I think whatever fits the tone of the song, but I'd still want to hear "When Doves Cry" before he stripped it down.Sometimes multilayered works if you want to give it a full sound, sometimes it's overkill.Sometimes a song can be too stripped down....

It seems like the stripped down songs were some of his biggest hits, When Doves Cry, Kiss, and Sign O' The Times. They probably woudn't have turned out the way they did had he used the whole band to record them.

The Funk. Radical drums, blazing horns and a heavy heavy rhythm section.

Both. Depends on the song. But yeah having a #1 hit without a bass line is pure genius and i am glad he didnt use the bass line in wdc

The genious of Prince is that he can master both.

I do enjoy the complexities of Around the World in a Day and Parade, but really think his 90s songs suffered from overproduction and could have contained unnoticed gems if it had been stripped down mor (e.g. Emancipation).

And his ballads of late also in my opinion suffers greatly from too much cream.

if it ain't funky. no tnx.
