How many Prince songs are Funk-Rock Fusions? Rolling Stones and other magazines use to write in the 80's that Prince was the creator of Funk-Rock Fusion songs? How many songs do you think qualify for this type of songs and name them? I will start with one
"Let's Go Crazy" |

Ezy Rider is a great example of Hendrix fusing funk and rock IMO. |

Hey why don't we just enjoy the tunes instead of focusing on classifying them? | |

When it comes 2 fusion especially funk/rock, I think it's important 2 check out the whole spectrum. As P-Funk taught us it's not just the guitar riff/solo that dubs a song rock, and it's not just the bass/drums that makes a song funk. Prince has this way of turning 5 grooves in2 1. Sometimes so much so that when u listen 2 it again u hear somethin u didn't catch the first 10,000 times 20 years ago lol....

Rebirt of the Flash is funk rock.Interactive,Calhoun Square. Nothing funky in the songs Let's Go Crazy which is straight forward rocker and Fury hendrix like pop rock. And the song 1999 is funky pop not funk rock | |
