Anybody??? 8) I haven't even heard the demo! or any other rare unreleased tracks, for that matter... ---------

For those few people out there that equate listening to "Please Hammer, Don't Hurt 'Em" to an almost spiritual experience- God bless 'em! I don't understand them myself, but more power to them!
That's why I usually hesitate to just bash somebody's favorite music, because I know how meaningful a song can be to somebody. I have my bad days though, and sometimes I can spread venom like anyone else. Here, here!  This post not for the wimp contingent. All whiny wusses avert your eyes. | |

I still listen to that Milli Vanilli record sometimes.  I still have my Paula Abdul. I love Kylie Minogue. I'm an avid Roxette fan. My favorite used to be Richard Marx. Does it make my taste bad? Perhaps. But it's still mine. | |

Maybe we should get a thread going about guilty pleasure type of songs going. I'll confess too. I promise. This post not for the wimp contingent. All whiny wusses avert your eyes. | |

I still occasionally play my Paula Abdul- Spellbound album. And I still enjoy it... | |

Is there meant to be something wrong with Richard Marx & Paula Abdul?

I'd choose 1999 because it comes across as more unedited. I enjoy those 7-8 minute Prince songs. Purple Rain is obviously an excellent album and I don't think one should hold it's commerical success against it...especially when it's a new sound that crosses over into mainstream music.
Personally, I'll pass on Let's Go Crazy, I Would Die For You and Baby I'm A Star. The rest of the songs I love! | |

Purple Rain wins easily, every song on Purple Rain is a solid 10 out of 10. Where as 1999 only has a handfull of 10 out of 10's. | |

Agreed. But you can always get the 12" version. This post not for the wimp contingent. All whiny wusses avert your eyes. | |

This is turning out to be an interesting take on taste! Personally, virtually every song on 1999 is a 10 for me, whereas Purple Rain has its fair share of 8s and 9s. | |

both albums get 10s from me. | |

It is so unfair both are essential for Prince And for my reason to be a fan (as more albums are). But if one has to choose (when it really must) ,i'd choose 1999. And this album was not my introduction with this man(purple rain was). I would be certain in this choice but forever regret it. | |
