What does Rock and Roll is alive and it lives in minneapolis sound like?

Is it worth getting. Which other Prince track, out of all those officially released is most similar?

I love it, It's one of my favourite prince songs. The guitar tune is great and it's worth getting! And im not sure which song it sounds most like, but it could have easily been on exodus or the gold experience.

Thats some mine of assorted videos. I've spent the last hour watching some of them. I'd especially recommend Life Can Be So Nice Live.

Listening to Sugar Walls for the very first time now. I prefer For Your Eyes Only.

I wonder if it is an answer 2 Lenny Kravitz 'Rock & Roll Is Dead. Didn't they come out around the same time? And the horn arrangement at the end of "Mama Said' sound very close 2 the horns at the end of 'Now'. Come 2 think of it 'Loose' and 'Black Velveteen' kinda reminds me of each other as well! Listen 2 the lyrics for'I Like It There' and 'MPLS' and tell me what's really going on with these 2?

To me, it's always sounded very Las Vegas-y, like something from Showgirls. But like that movie, it's horrible in a fun way. It's sooooo bombastic that it actually works.
