PE is Planet Earth so what should we call PlectrumElectrum?

U know how things be, we all know what PR, ATWIAD, SOTT, GB, TGE, TRC, ONA etc. mean but soon when PlectrumElectrum isn't the new album no more it's quickly gonna be very confusing when people randomly mention "PE" in a thread, for we won't necessarly always know which album they talkin' bout.

Planet Earth was first so it oughta remain PE.

I suggest we call PlectrumElectrum PLEC, but that's an open suggestion.

Opinions?

How about, 'PlectrumElectrum'? How about we stop using initialisms and acronyms, and actually write out song and album titles?

I think you found (and created a whole thread for) what could (should) be the dictionary definition of 'First World Problem'.

I like PleccyLeccy. Short to say, but not so much to write I guess.

We should use the real names more often I agree. Too many new fans and casual fans get excluded when we shorten the names.

PE because I refuse to acknowledge that Planet Earth exists.

Doesn't matter what you call them, both are my least listened to Prince albums.

Overall as an album NPS is bad, but at least it has Come On, The One, Wasted Kisses...

Plectrum just has Another Love

and Planet Earth has nothing I like on it...

... Come to think of it. Planet Earth was the first Prince album that didn't have one song, not one song I enjoyed.

Even his "least likeable" albums like Rave, NPS, Chaos & Disorder had a couple good songs on them, not one song on Planet Earth stands out.

Technically, PlectrumElectrum is an associated artist album - so on that board, call it PE biggrin

This 'problem' gets worse if we include albums from associated acts. Off the top of my head, TT and TS can be either a Prince album or an album from an associated act (two for the latter).

And to seriously answer...I've called it Plect Elect, and kept PE as PE.

Plum is the nickname for Pelham Grenville Wodehouse, but then who wants to be called Pelham?
