Never equated what Prince does with music.

Porn maybe, but not music.

A "musician" can fling his hand willy-nilly up and down the strings, hitting every note on the scale, being in perfect control the whole time....and the end result is still merely amplified, disharmonic racket....not music.

He don't write bluegrass, and he don't write Hank.

You're trying to deny his talent by saying that you don't like his music. It doesn't matter if you like his style or not, you can't deny that he's talented at what he does. There are lots of bands that I don't like but I have to admit they're talented at what they do. Personal taste does not equal bad music.

Damn straight!

What I'm saying, Cougar, is that he's not a musician.

These are musicians:

Beethoven
Bach
Mozart
Al Hirt
Floyd Cramer
Patsy Cline
Henry Mancini
Max Steiner
Johann Strauss
Merle Haggard
John Phillip Sousa
Bing Crosby
Marvin Gaye
Sam Cooke
Lou Rawls
Chet Atkins

And there are a lot more who produced HARMONY....not noise.

What about Metallica, Steve Vai, Dave Matthews, Pink Floyd, The Doors, etc.? Would you call them musicians?

Prince is a great guitarist. Whether you like his style or not his talent is obvious. Check out this performance at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction cerimony from last year. It blew me away.

So you don't care for polyphony?
What about homophony? ( and no, thats not Prince music

)

Shuckins · « **Reply #42 on:** February 05, 2007, 05:25:51 PM »

Homophony?

No thanks. Don't care for them at all. Mrs. Pinkus, my eleventh grade English teacher, drilled all that bilge about words with similar sounds but different meanings into my head until I was nearly crazy.

My psyche never fully recovered.

Besides, you're just trying to change the subject.

Not trying to hijack, just a play on words with the Prince/gay contention.

homophony -Musical texture in which one or more lines dominate and the others remain in the background.

Shuckins, I asked this above but I guess it got lost.
