The author actually got paid to write this.

Also, "Cream" being released in 1992. And using a photo of Prince and Mayte for "Gett Off", but not "Friend, Lover, Sister, Mother/Wife".

I won't read all of that, but one thing that stood out as I skimmed through...

None of Emancipation "reckons with the death of [their] baby." None of it.

I wonder how much this guy got paid for having little to no knowledge about the songs he's writing about?

He got most of it right (even a dig at LG!), but there are still a few little wrongs:

"The ultimate B-side. “Erotic City” first appeared as a companion to the “Let’s Go Crazy” single in 1984. It resurfaced two years later in its full, extended form on the 12-inch release of “Girls & Boys.”"

...also a few mismatched pics to eras and what was already mentioned^

Not a terrible list, actually.

I give it bonus points for not falling into the contemporary ranking trend of crowbarring "Nothing Compares 2 U" into the Top 3 while somehow, someway none of his other songs given away crack the Top 500.

Still trying to figure out what was so "filthy" about "Joy In Repetiton." Anybody?
