Thanks guys Love your comments and views, good to see we are everywhere with this album, a big dividing camp over Free as it does feel a bit out of place on this album. But we all pretty much agree, that this was amongst the best of his albums and he really was so hungry at this time and yet could give us true professionalism. Got some kind of love for you, and I don't even know your name | |

1. Something In The Water (Does Not Compute) - Never heard anything as unique & infectious, yet blantantly honest. I live for the second half of this song, especially the raw emotion emoted from that scream Love both the outtake & album version.
2. Little Red Corvette - SO damn tantalizing, every time it comes on I can't change it even if I wanted to
3. International Lover 4. All The Critics Love U In New York - The contrast of his vocals when compared to the complex beat
5. Automatic - So sexy, so addictive, so straight forward, the spoken outro & THE DAMN VIDEO I don't get why people say this track's too long as I think it's a great example of Prince riding out a groove
6. Lady Cab Driver - I love how breezy this song comes across .. well, until Prince's 'interlude'
7. Let's Pretend We're Married
8. Delirious
9. D.M.S.R.
10. 1999
11. Free - So I was like the majority with this song, basically couldn't stand it at all .. that's until last night when I decided to give it a try & it hit me like a brick (in a good way) so let's just say the title track belongs in this position | |

1999 - IMPOSSIBLE to rank:
I love the 1999 masterpiece.
The whole album is just so energetic, incredible funky..
I love the songs, all of them.

I'm not sure, it seems a little too simple. I don't usually pay attention to lyrics but "Free" seems very naive which is a little bothersome.
I think quite a lot of people view "Moonbeam Levels" as a superior song and maybe resent "Free" for taking its place on the album. Granted, had "Moonbeam Levels" been on there instead I'm sure lots of fans would argue that "Free" is the better song and should have been included. | |

Always thought "free" was a brilliant song, possibly the best song of the album. I personally prefer Free to Moonbeam Levels, both lyrically and musically. I don't consider the lyrical message of "free" as something simple at all. It's interesting to see how everyone has their own definition to what's simple and what's supposed to be minimalism.
As he gradually expands the concept of "freedom", the music gets louder, his vocals get stronger and more instruments are added; The entire song gets all monumental. This word "free" - includes so many different things. It basically represents every little thing we take for granted on a daily basis. I believe the theme of the song is not necessarily "embrace the fact that you're free to do whatever you want", but "overcome loneliness and pain by acknowledging how blessed and fortunate you are to have what you have."
"Be glad you are free, free to change your mind," I have so much appreciation for this song [Edited 4/22/12 0:18am] [Edited 4/22/12 0:19am] | |

I love the simplicity and lightness of Free. Its one of those songs that has to be listened to at the right time in order to be appreciated. Prince's Sarah | |

I love this album. For me it ties with Purple Rain as his best album. I also love Sign o the times of course, it's diverse and very strong, but, when I think of 1999 and Purple Rain, I think they're full of masterpieces, which isn't exactly the case of Sign o the times, on which there are some songs that are not so astonishing as the highlights.

The only track from 1999 I really don't care for is Free. Wish Irresistable Bitch was on the album instead.
