Al's singing is like a combination of Fergie and Jesus. There's no doubt about that, but I've took some time listening to some of the instrumentals by themselves, and a lot of them are really nice. I think that they could put out a total instrumental track and people would like it- Although they would have to not title it as an Al song, or fans may get disappointed.
What do you guys think about the instrumentals? Which one is your favorite?

There are just so many directions to take this. I'll start by asking how you know Jesus had a great singing voice.

You haven't watched Step Brothers, have you?

Well, let me clarify that the Fergie bit was definitely NOT intended as an insult.

On topic, yeah his instrumentals are pretty darn awesome. His backing band is comprised of some serious musicians. Al himself is amazing at the instrument of his choosing as well.

They did. It was called "Fun Zone." It was credited as an Al song and everything. It kicks ass, people love it, the fans were not at all disappointed, and now it plays before every Al show and gets everyone properly hyped up.

I already know about that one. That was played at the concert I went to. That's an awesome track. but that's a short one. If they did a longer one, that would be cool.

The Fun Zone was great, and I hope he puts out more instrumentals in the future.

They should actually perform it in its entirety at each show before they do the polka, that would be wicked.
