Me too. My first Prince album, I love it all. ...but if I have to choose one, I'll go with The Morning Papers. ..or maybe 7. ..or My Name Is Prince.

This just goes to show how different we all are. My first album was Lovesexy and I love this album more than any other. I can't fucking stand the album. Diff'rent strokes 4 Diff'rent folks!

Blue Light has always been my favorite from this album. The gold cased cd box, not with the purple and gold trim on the face of the disc, but a pic of P, Mayte, and NPG on it, is one of the few "collectibles" I have of Prince. I'm not a collector and mainly see those things as useless, material items that leave me feeling empty inside. I pretty much feel the same about having this . People are asking for way too much money for a sealed, gold box w/ purple disc, which is the more common version of the box, and I hope those turds don't get it .

Sexy MF

I haven't been listening this record for a while, but i remember that, back then, i thought 'The Continental' was superior to the rest of songs.

I've always been partial to The Continental too when it comes to this album

Love The Continental! 3 Chains o gold next followed by Blue Light. I remember tough when the album first came out I got completely stuck on 3 chains, just played it over and over. Now it makes me a bit sad

I love The Continental.......the second part of that song. I loathe the first part .

All of them! No, seriously. ALL OF THEM! It's one of those fine albums of his that I just put on and let play all the way through to the end.

Yeah I feel that way too - this is a great album all the way through - perfect flow!

The Continental, Blue Light, 3 Chains O' Gold, 7, Sweet Baby...

damn, I am sorry this album is all sorts of good.

In terms of just listening and vibing, Damn U is definitely my favorite. However, I just saw the video to I Wanna Melt With U, and that song has been on repeat ever since lol.

I like that song and it used to be part of my jogging mix but the lyrics still rub me the wrong way to this day. "Don´t look now there´s a river of blood...you must´ve been a virgin what am I guilty of?" just doesn´t sound right to me.

Still a good song though. But the lyrics in some of the songs are questionable.

No, it doesn't sound right it sounds awful; it's horrible.

3way tie between, 'Love 2 The 9s', 'Sweet Baby', and "And God Created Woman"

I agree.That lyric is kinda disturbing and it makes Prince look like a dirty old man

Good song,though

I also like the song "I Want To Melt With You" but some of the lyrics are truely icky.

.

Starting with;

.

"I got 7 hours, baby. So what ya want to do?"

.

This line is so callous and presumptuous that it makes me envision a scenario in which he is hooking up with one of his regular sex partners on a flight layover. (something that perfectly fine in my opinion)

.

Then we hear;

.

"Don't look now, but there's a river of blood
you must have been a virgin
What am I guilty of? Oh no (oh no)"

.

These lyrics turns this whole scenario which was normal and fine into something shocking seedy and gross.

.

It implies that he has never had sex with her before.

That he knew so little about her that he didn't know she was a virgin.

And that she must be pretty young, too young to have already lost her virginity.

.

Then he says something that no one should ever say to anyone when it is their first time having sex.

.

Yeah, do that baby [Repeat: x2]
Yeah, do that baby, just like a dog (ooh, I want to melt with u)
Yeah, do that baby, just like a dog (ooh, I want to melt with u)
Yeah, do that baby, just like a dog

.

Not to mention the "River of Blood" is a biblical reference.

.

Lyrically this song is a real cringer.

.

But musically it is pretty good.

It was a period in which Prince definitely started copping a hiphop video attitude towards women. It seemed that before he certainly objectified women but still at times wanted them as an equal sexual partner in terms of pleasure without the hostility.
