i bought diamonds and pearls a while ago and kinda slept on it because i bought the symbol album at the same time and fell in love with it. I listened todiamonds and pearls today and it totally blew me away. are there any p albums that any of you have rediscovered that had a profound effect on you. i'm curious to know the personal effect of p's music on others. thanks!

Looking at the album survivor thread, it's time a few folks re-discovered Black, Controversy, For You and Prince.

I have found myself listening to The Gold Experience (Dolphin) and some NPGMC stuff (Y Should I do That When I Can Do This?) alot lately, especially Dolphin.

Earlier this year I discovered Rainbow Children. I hated it when I first bought it in 2002 and wouldn't listen to it. This year I started pulling out my lesser listened-to Prince stuff and fell in love with it. The music is awesome.

During the summer I rediscoved Gold. Liked it when I bought it but hadn't listened to it in a long while. I listened to it all summer.

A few weeks ago I watched Rave unto the year 2000. Bought it when it first came out but wasn't too into it. A few weeks ago, to ease my concert withdrawl I wanted to watch any live Prince footage that I could. Pulled out the Rave dvd and enjoyed it immensley. I love him with long hair. Then I saw the video for Greatest Romance ever sold and almost lost my mind! Started liking the song again so I pulled out the Rave to the Joy fantastic cd. Started liking several of those songs again.

i rediscovered lovesexy.lawd jesus!!!!!what a masterpiece.....i think

Prince and Emancipation were two that I really had been snoozing on
but now I swear they are 2 of my favorites of the moment!
Especially since I played Musicology, 1999, and Parade to death!!

This may sound silly but now I wanna rediscover Purple Rain
Truthfully I love that album but I rarely listen to it
Ya'll know what I mean

im literally sick of seeing the purple rain cd on sale at fye!its like on evry sale rack and evry1 plays like they cant find the cd its so sick

I did the same with Gold recently...I always liked that album...but I definitely re-discovered it this summer. Also, Graffiti Bridge. I edited it down to all the Prince songs and now I love it more than ever.

I do this at least once a month. This month it is ...dont laugh...New Power Soul.
Give it an unbiased spin.
