Am I The Only Person Who Doesn't Listen To Purple Rain Because It Seems Too...Mainstream?

I barely listen to this album. It makes me feel like a "fake-fan".

It's like Lil Wayne's The Carter 3 album, all the bandwagoners jump on at that point.

Same with Purple Rain, it's too commercial. I know he was aiming for but...

I still love the album, but I can't listen to it without feeling like a bandwagoner.

i think most fans don't listen to it or other normal albums as there are so many other new prince things to listen to, such as a never ending stream of bootlegs. there's plenty of fans who don't listen to the normal stuff much as they've just heard it too many times. it makes it interesting when i dj at prince nights as i'm not sick of hearing the tracks

Prince should NEVER be compared in any way, shape, or form to Lil Wayne.

It's not just you. I almost never listen to Purple Rain. It's boring now to me compared to the rest of his work, and the fast that I've heard so many of those songs so often doesn't help either.

ahaha I'm not comparing them. I'm saying when The Carter 3 came out, bandwagoners jumped on the wagon. The same with Purple Rain.

Exactly.

That's why my favorite album is "Around The World In A Day", it's an underdog.

I suppose it's just a coincidence that this guy also is the guy who started the: "Is Parade Overrated?" topic

In The words of Prince

"Pleease, who do I look like baby?"

I'm joking, I'm not a rebel.

We say things like that in San Diego. Like if someone "dine and dash", we'll say their a Rebel. Our definition of being a Rebel is basically being a badass, and starting trends.

I don't know about it sounding "too mainstream". It's definitely Prince's most polished recording to date though.

You can like whatever you want but it's lame to justify it ith statements like this...
