From what I've heard, the new songs available to members in 2001 were completely crap

Besides TRC, which is clearly amazing.

I think I have nearly all the other stuff and it all seems pretty dire. Even a mediocre track like 'Vavoom' stands out in this bunch.

:didntmissoutatall:


Stuff like 'High' is just awful. It pains me to listen to it.

That's the same 'joke' now on two threads. Come on now. U always seemed a decent sort. P'haps I was wrong.

I did make a single CD of it though, and it has grown on me a little. I don't rate it as a complete 3CD album, but it has some fair moments on it.

But the 2001 stuff, I'm really not feeling it.

Maybe I don't have all the tracks. Name some for me if u will. What's the best stuff?

Madrid 2 Chicago is ok.

That's a rather complex analogy, comparing downloadable Prince music with a lovely Thai woman.

<<< look at her, she doesn't deserve that. sad

Yes, about 90% of it was awful. Props and Pounds and Northside are both embarassing.

Dude, that girl is fine.

Also, pale? Hmmm...? What does that have to do with Prince's music?

I agree. Right now on this site I'm having a hard time understanding musically where some fans are coming from. It's not that I think my opinion is any more valid than anyones, I just don't get it how some seem to love the 'phatness' and processed, synthesised crap of some of the 90s over the musical brilliance of TRC and innovative excellence of the 80s.

I think I must be coming from a different musical background, where Jaco, Stevie, Marvin, Herbie Hancock, Miles Davis, and Sly reign supreme.

confuse

Ultimately it doesn't matter if I don't understand, but I just want to try to get a handle on it.

Thank u lovemachine, I appreciate it.

<<< I don't think she looks pale here does she?

Give her a break, that other pic was taking after she'd been dancing like crazy so she was kinda hot and the light was a little bright.

Besides, what does that have to do with Prince's music???

Some of my favorites from 2001:
  • My Medallion - very cute
  • Judas Kiss/Smile - Cool upbeat
  • VanGough - very original, very cool
  • Silicon - Takes a long time to chew, but great once it grows
  • Y Should Eye Do That - Very neat song

See, where my post was quite harsh, it wasn't really sarcastic. If I say something is awful that doesn't mean I'm attacking u.

If u enjoy listening to them that's cool. I'm happy u like those songs. I don't get a kick out of putting people down. I just honestly think the 2001 tracks were completely crap.

The songs offered in this period and truly great with many songs that could have been a hit if in an album... Real killer cuts ...

See that's what I don't 'get'. I just don't see it. I haven't heard 'Y Should...' but all of these others I've heard but cannot get into at all.

There's nothing interesting in the music. It sounds like these songs were done very quickly, hence an emphasis on keyboard sounds and programmed beats.

Can I ask u what your favourite 3 Prince albums are?

Yeah, but you're mr. judge-on-first-listen. Great music is almost never that easily digested.

lol Cool. Well, u can check out one of my likes in my other thread.

How silly of me to think that prince.org might be somewhere appropriate to discuss the relative merits of prince music and albums. smile

Don't be fascinated with me. There are lots of people posting about so many interesting things, some of them would u believe not even about Prince at all.

I didn't care for year 1's tracks either. In fact I deleted them off my hard drive when I reformatted.

I thought all the tracks were absolutely brilliant - listen to them all the time. Just wish we were getting the same choice this year - hope the Music Club will soon be back with us!!!
