Unpopular Opinions about Prince, his music etc.

Okay I'll start.

I think "Adore" is a shit song.

Your turn.

I think Chaos & Disorder is by and large the biggest piece of piddly shit he ever released.

Next.

I'm in love with everything and every song that Prince has ever had anything 2 do with!

Pussy Control is one of the worst songs in P's catalog. It is beyond me why it is a fan favorite.

You're a tool.

The song 3121 is creepy and scared the shitlings out of me when I first heard it. The rest of the album is great but damn...my heart was racing..lol

"I Would Die 4 U" is one of his worst songs.

"Parade" is a so-so album, some great stuff, but lots of filler, and ATWIAD is superior by a mile.

"Housequake" is mediocre at best.

"Adore" is completely overrated. 5+ minutes of "how many vocal tracks can I overlay before my f*cking recording studio explodes".

"Emancipation" is fantastic.

90s Prince is on a level with 80s Prince (maybe with a few exceptions).

And those really are my opinions!

Parts of "Parade" were a damn embarassment.

Unpopular opinions? How about these:

The song Purple Rain should be stricken from his repertoire. It represents the lower end of his work.

Gold was a shitty album.

Kirky J should be brought back and featured on his next album. The guy's amazing!!

It's a good thing that Jughead replaced Horny Pony on D&P 'cause that song has got to be one of the highlights of Prince's output.

I wish Prince would stop trying to play the guitar. He sucks big time and couldn't hold a candle to that dead dude from Nirvana.

I'm glad Prince doesn't release all of the outtakes and concert footage fans want. He should place all his energies into suing Thunderball and those other labels. In fact, he should force them to release their customer lists so he can sue everyone who's ever bought something from them.

Hopefully there won't be any more new albums from Prince for a couple years. There's already waaaaay too much of his stuff out there. No one could possibly listen to it all. We need time to catch up.

Don't like that song either.

I like Arms of Orion.

Prince is the greatest musician alive!

I think Satisfied and On The Couch are great songs.

I really like Tamar (although it helps that I saw her live).

I think Prince's guitar tone is better now than it was in the 80s.

The Rainbow Children and the NPG "era" SUCK ASS HUMONGOUSLY!!!

The Marring Kind, A Million Days and Fury(album version) are overrated.

Prince is a closet homosexual
New Power Soul is an excellent album
Tony M was as good an influence on P's music as Wendy and Lisa
The name-change was the best decision Prince ever made
Becoming part of the JW faith was Prince's second best decision
The NPGMC proved that Prince loves his fans and the club gave us more than we could have ever have hoped from our hero
Dirty Mind is a very average album
Jughead proved that Prince is right to give at least one song per album over to another artist(s)
Sign O The Times should have been a single album
The Truth was the weakest part of the Crystal Ball package
Fury works better with the guitar mixed into the background
Prince is shit live
Prince should edit himself better
Graffiti Bridge the movie is incredible and is clearly misunderstood by even the most obsessed Prince fans
When Doves Cry is totally unoriginal
Warner Bros owned Prince and quite rightly still do
The vault should be burned down and all it's contents burned with it - Prince needs to live in the present, not the past!
Emancipation could easily have stretched to 4 discs and Kirky J should have done more work with P
The Black Album made more sense in 1994 than it would have done in 1987
Carmen Electra's album was one of P's best side projects

A thread for the rest of us. Good idea.

I don't much care for Adore myself.

I like Rave and I love Emancipation!

Except for Anna Stesia and Alphabet St, he could have kept Lovesexy

Except for The Cross, Starfish and Coffee and the title track, SOTT is just okay for me

I love most of his 90's output and I prefer his current style to his 80's style

The Revolution was one of Prince's weaker bands

"All My Dreams" is one of the worst un-released songs in the Vault

P Control is by far the worst song on TGE
