They would simply say that was the period in which Prince had lost his damn mind and I would agree with them and we would all laugh at songs like "Venus De Milo" and "Do U Lie" together. The DJs in the clubs used to make fun of those songs back in the day so it would just be business as usual. . . [Edited 12/1/07 18:06pm] What do you think of those funkier songs though? You give the impression that Prince should burn in hell for not sticking with his earlier style, but tunes from his '86 -'88 period have dated way better than the earlier stuff IMO. For instance 1999 is one of my favourite P albums, but the sound is nowhere near as fresh sounding today as Lovesexy. They are OK but much weaker sounding than his earlier work. However, the french vibe on some of them made the funk sound a little depressing. Paris just seems like a stuffy depressing place to me. Andy is a four letter word. | |

Jill Jones was way ahead of its time, but probalby sounds dated now. Looking back, I would recommend, Sheila E - Romance 1600 Sheila E - Sheila E The Family - The Family The Time - The Time The Time - What time is it? Jessee Johnson - Shockadelica Jesse Johnson - Love Struck Mavis Staples - Time Waits For No One Wendy and Lisa - Fruit at hte bottom Wendy and Lisa - Eroica Morris Day - Day dreaming Ya know, I definitely need to hear some W&L stuff. Did he actually write/produce for their albums? Prince remixed their song "Lolly Lolly" for the single release. That's all. I count every artist under the Starr Production banner or signed to Paisley Park as an associated artist. Of those albums, my favorites are: The Time - The Time The Time - What Time Is It? Vanity 6 - Vanity 6 Apollonia 6 - Apollonia 6 The Family - The Family Sheila E - Romance 1600 Mazarati - Mazarati Sheila E - Sheila E Madhouse - 8 Jill Jones - Jill Jones Taja Sevelle - Taja Sevelle Madhouse - 16 Tony LeMans - Tony LeMans The Time - Pandemonium Ingrid Chavez - Ingrid Chavez add edit [Edited 12/3/07 14:28pm] | |
