if i had to pick ONE song to take off PR...and we're talkin' gun to the head, pet kitten dangled over a vat of corrosive acid, dire consequence situation here...i'd choose "i would die 4 u"...now, i don't dislike the song at all, and if it were the 12" jam w/ sheila that goes on and on and on i might feel differently cuz i LOOOOVE that recording...but the studio version, eh, i dunno...there's something kinda BLAH about it, and even when i would play PR a dozen times a day back when it first came out, i always thought of it as the song i hadda slog through to get to "baby i'm a star". so, uh, THERE. eek


i feel so dirty now....disbelief

aw, i thought apples held her own in "take me with u". i dig that song anyway. it's such a bouncy, hippie-dippie song. i don't think i've ever heard a version live that does justice to the version on record...though i do dig the live clip that was released as the video.

she was good on falcon crest redface


i think they should cast her in a reality show where she plays an veteran prince flunkie who returns to minneapolis to train a young revamping of vanity/apples 6. they could call it "welcome back kotero".









redface sorry redface

lol Who woulda thunk it? A Mariah Carey fan who likes music without the pop feel. lol

Seriously, the only reason those albums don't have a pop feel is because they weren't nearly as big. What, an album being a big hit means it's lesser artistically than those that weren't? Not necessarily.

Some people either forget their reactions to the PR album when it was new, or don't have that context because they either weren't around or were too young to be cognizant of its impact. Prince was just one of those artists that could be simultaneously avant garde (when talking about pop/rock music), and commercial. Points shouldn't be taken away because of it, if anything he should score higher because of it.

The same way some people don't understand the impact of albums like Are You Experienced, or What's Going On. And before anybody has a knee jerk reaction, I'm not saying it's the equal of those albums, it's analogy.

The only thing PR suffers from is constant radio saturation. It would be VERY interesting to find out how many hardcore music fans are still in love with albums that had about 5 top 40 hits. Familiarity breeds contempt, and all. Had it been a bootleg and never been released, it would be regarded as the Holy Grail of Prince boots. It's easy to deny that NOW, since it was never an unreleased boot.

point well taken...

just to clarify I like Mariah (she's hot!!) But I don't consider myself a Mariah "fan"...please see my post in non-prince forum about "mariah and what did she do to her career"

Yeah, to me it's more interesting lyrically than musically.

in an odd way, it is...first ave. '83 was a blotter test for the whole pr sh'bang, and that's one of the most-praised boots in circulation.
