Vocals is just another instrument. I know albums by artists where they have another singer do all the vocals. It would be like saying NEWS and Xpectation are Eric Leeds and Candy Dulfer albums respectively because they play the lead sax:

Oh I know what you mean, but I mention Prince doing the main vocals because he is also the chief architect of his protege albums. Even though he's not doing any of the singing, we don't consider protege albums as Prince albums. I'd always consider any instrumental albums to be Prince albums if he's a participant and the chief archiect.


Do you consider Madhouse albums Prince albums too?

Prince recorded every instrument but whatever Eric Leeds played so why wouldn't they be Prince albums.

They are all Prince albums to me, just not "Prince" albums.

Much like Bowie's official discography including his Tim Machine albums, my collection of Prince official albums include the works he essentially directed and performed on; so I include Exodus, NPS, Madhouse 8 and Madhouse 16. Slightly more controversially, I also include Goldnigga and 1800 New Funk.

Yeah I do, I view something like Madhouse as more of project title that Prince used...Ultimately, I respect any ways people prefer to classify Prince's side projects though nod
