Prince rocks!!!

If U didn't know that then where have U been livin'

Prince is the most amazing live performer the world has ever known, his voice alone would've made him a legend but 2 add 2 all that he plays intruments galore, dances like there is no next week and has talents in one man that would usually be attributed to 50.
Maybe his music can't be catergorised but if we had 2 dice it up

How many musical genre's has prince covered-

I count 4

Rock-lets go crazy, bambi etc
RnB-Adore
Reggae-Blue Light
Town and country-Basically the whole of the Prince 79' album
(I'd say opera on 3 chains of gold but that's a blatant Bohemian Rhapsody rip off)

Well maybe a little opera in the title song on 4U :hmm2

hasnt even embarked on heavy electonic experimental.. so i guess not. That cheesy stuff on emancipation dont count, thats dj shit.

dont ever recall him doing any indian music

other than that, i'd say yes...

I'm still waiting for his Polka album!

What the bloody hell are you talking about?

Metal hasn't been covered yet.

Supernova said:

YEAH!

Supernova said:

u didnt know that 79 album was town and country? I saw it there last week in FYE

Supernova said:

wa

Still waiting is definately in Dolly Partonville-he might as well of called himself Bubba, wear a waistcoat and spurs ride a horse and chew straw when he was singing that one

FunnyWayOfStoppinTheJuice said:

Thats funny u say that, cause I have him doing a duet with dolly, his spur nicked her nipple and they called the whole thing off though..

I really want him to play some metallica-like stuff

some really heavy rock/bordering on metal..

that would be heaven !

FunkyStrange said:

He's one step away, cause he bitched about fans having mp3's of his material too..

Haha Wow is this the same person who in 2 threads could do nothing but preach about how Prince is just so embarrassing 2 U?


When did U get this fresh take on life? I could swear its night/day ala a split personality even. I'm beside myself how far U seemed 2 have come in so little time. Without a 12-step program even.

I'm here 2 say I'm proud of U. If U need added support I'm here 4 U truly. The fact U liked my handbags delighted my soul. I'm rocking this peach one U'd die 4...it goes perfect with my peach & black outffit.


Oh 2 your simple question...no he hasn't. Yount~ Yount~

'A strange way of saying I love you' is two step, a bit like Specials/early Madness.

I've yet 2 hear his Gregorian Chant album.

No he hasn't.

Prince can do a couple of genres adequately. The rest he has a very poor feel for.

Thing is, I always take Prince's music as an entity unto itself, almost like a separate genre.

When he funks, it's not just like funk.
When he rocks, it's not just like rock.
When he does pop, it's not just like pop.

I don't think he has a very good grasp of House music, although I see he has tried from time to time.

Pop - Raspberry Beret
Blues - Zannalee
Jazz - The Rainbow Children
Hip hop - Dead on it

etc. etc.

"7" leaned slightly towards Middle Eastern Music with a sitar sound. Around the world in a day also 'hinted' at Indian music. He's never gone totally Bollywood on us yet though. Maybe he should try it.

HollywoodSaint said:

2-step? Uh, 2-tone was probably what you're implying. And I heave yet to hear a Prince song with a ska sound to it. 2-Step is that British garage/soul/dance thing.

Oh yeah, I haven't heard Prince do hardcore Punk or experimental indie rock.

I'd also like to hear my boy do some Dub/Reggae. You could light up a and just vibe on some bass-heavy grooves. I wish Prince would attempt that.

blue grass
cajun and zydeco
children's music

Have not been covered

FunnyWayOfStoppinTheJuice said:

I don't think it's so desirous to cover "every" music genre.

And I don't think his fans really want him to try and cover "every" music genre.

Do you realize how many genres there are? Probably not.

And believe it or not, every artist has limits, even "genius" has limits.

His range covers a lot of ground as it is.


And as I'm looking thru this thread it proves to me that some Prince fans seem to be surface listeners, because they're missing some of what's already there...

FunnyWayOfStoppinTheJuice said:

1) bambi? iwbyl?? with you? i feel for you?? wywtmsb? wwdcas?? sexy-fuckin-dancer??? country? put the damned sherm stick down!!!

2) 'town and country' is a model of car, not a musical genre.

Classical? Tropical? Contemporary Christian? Bhangra? Adult Contemporary pop?

like it or not...he has hit hip-hop.

also...folk, electro, swing, ambient...

i m still waiting for the mad-funk-drum and bass instrumental LP...high on the experimental tip.

...musique concrete

he has also hit on:


Rock-a-Billy

Classical

doo-wop

new age...cough couggghhh

...spoken word

...psychadelic.

PRINCE DID TRY AND FAIL MISERABLY WITH HOUSE MUSIC WHEN HE CAME OUT WITH THE SONG 'LOOSE' ON THE GOLD EXPERIENCE-EVEN THE WHOLE 'EXPERIENCE' VIBE WAS STOLEN FROM HENDRIX...

PRINCE SHOULD OF CARRIED ON WITH HIS SWAY 2 HEAVY ROCK/METAL COS BAMBI, ROCK HARD IN A FUNKY PLACE AND PUSSY CONTROL ALL WERE AMAZING :HMM:


SOLO IS HIS ATTEMPT AT EASY LISTENING AND IT SUCKED

PRINCE IS BEST WHEN HE IS PRINCE-A CLASSIC LIKE INTERNATIONAL LOVER, VIKKI AWAITITING OR THE BALLAD OF DOROTHY PARKER SHOW THIS

PRINCE ALSO TRIED HIS HAND AT CALYPSO IN THE SONG 'TRUST' FROM THE BATMAN ALBUM..funny little tune
