Well put. I would agree with you here.

TRC is great on it's own. I'm even impressed with "Last December" so much, that I would consider it one of his greatest written songs... but to put TRC in the same category or compare it to Lovesexy? No.

I listened to Lovesexy a few nights ago for the first time in months and I must say it was one of the most rewarding listening experiences I've had in sometime. That album is so inspired and it has a unique sound. It also has great lyrics, and damn good musicianship. I never realized how good that album was before. I love all of the consensus favorites, but I would also like to add Dance On and Positivity to the list. The drumming on Dance On is ridiculously good and Positivity has a great lyrics, great social perspective, and some of the best vocal phrasing of Prince's career. The guitar work on Positivity is really good too, its just buried in the mix.

better stop smoking crack , man

[b]I like Lovesexy and always have. It's a good album from start to finish.

I love this album. I have been playing this and the live verisons of it all week! I am really into the song "I Wish You Heaven" right now.

OMG. I love everything on this album from beginning to end.

I dig the whole vibe, the lyrics, metaphors, the spirituality.

It's like he created it from some alternative dimension. Everything hits for me and the creations are not staid and expected, but very eclectic. It is so layered and open to analysis. I could study it for hours, months, years.

Really lifts me into higher head space when I'm listening to it. And by the end (Positivity) it almost makes me cry.


Love. It. All.

Hey no ! Lets not knock nonsense. It's truly under-rated !

I love this album. It one that has grown and grown on me and I now find myself defending it to the hilt !

I'll admit I never used to rave about it in the past. It was always Sign O' The Times this Dirty Mind that etc...

Then I realised just how much I listened to it !! It's one that I usually put on for Alphabet Street or When 2 R In Love but then I would always listen to the complete album.

I find it a real rambling/carnival style album with some great lines/lyrics etc..

Songs that seem to go on forever and songs that seem to be over too soon and songs that seem to go in all kinds of directions.

I love I Wish U Heaven but I wish there was more to it. The same for Glam Slam.

But these are ALL the reasons that I love it too. It's an album that requires a lot of listening.

I especially love the album cover.

I love it because when I show it too people (blokes mainly) they normally go 'Arrggghh..!!!' like they are really offended and I just think 'Open your mind. It's beautiful.'

I think Prince really pushed the boundaries with that cover.

To me it represents exposing yourself. Being honest etc..

I was there too and boy these people don't know if they don't like Lovesexy..

We mark him ... not even in the building.

I love the blurb on the back of the cover...

Dr Fink: computor keyboards

Eric Leeds and Atlanta Bliss: Bass and vocal

Miko: Guitar and vocal

Prince: whatever

Might as well post this old poem (lyrics?), from a mutual friend :

Dirty Mind dirtied my mind
Controversy made me easy
1999 made me so fine
And Purple Rain a bit vain

Around the World broadened my world
But by Parade I was a charade
Sign O the Time I was on my last dime
Then Lovesexy saved my life

Lovesexy saved my life
Kept me from losing my mind
Now I don't waste my time
Fighting over the last line

It really is a matter of perspective. I will tell you that when I first saw Lovesexy in the stores, I first of all didn't know there was a new Prince album out, so I was excited there. Then when I listened through the album and got to the song Dance On, I went hog wild. I had never heard such a song like that, and I am still fascinated by that song when I listen to it today.

Over the months and years afterward, I just came to love that album. And when I would hear about the history of how this album came to be, and hearing the Black Album, it only cemented Lovesexy in my heart. But more than anything, there is a sense of freedom in Lovesexy that is only in that album.

Lovesexy's ok. Definitely overrated. It's got a few classic songs and alot of filler, imho.

Other people love it.

that's life.

I respect your oppion more then the others :"positivity" blanket statements like "love sexy is great!", come on, think and express something to let us know you are alive.

Lovesexy - i gotta be in a certain mood to really get into it! Still think its a great one.

when it first came out...it was the first feeling i got up to that point that prince was releasing too much material and it wasnt all top shelf...after seeing the tour a few times in 88...i had a change of heart...not so much about the album...more about the greatness of the period...

I used to not like this album because it was on a one-tracked format on CD, but now I listen to it quite often. It is not as bad as I once thought.

lovesexy had some great tracks, i wish you heaven, when 2r in love plus it was a one track album if you got it on cd!

I don't know about you all, but lovesexy can most often put me in a mood.


get yo mind out the gutter.

I used to hate this album for some odd reason, now i find i play it more than ever.

I now got the tracked cd version, so that no longer bothers me, not like it ever did. I usually stick an album on from start to finish anyway

Dare I ask. A good or bad mood ?

Its allright, but not great, The first four tracks, Iwish u heaven and Positivity are great but the other three tracks are crap. I don't listen to it much as my CD has only one track, u can't say skip 2 Anna Stesia. Does anyone else have this problem?

tane1976 said:

It isn't a problem, it is design. The love sexy Cd is one long track. You can however rip it, and then save the songs sepratly.

pepper7 said:

A spiritually charged mood. for the most part 'god' ummm... good.

Yep you either love is or hate it.

Or like a couple of tracks.

It's grown on me a lot over the years. I think this was mainly due to it being one of the only tapes in my car (no CD Player...also before I got an iPod - but I digress)

It's grown on me more and more over the years.

I just listened to this CD yesterday and I thoroughly enjoyed it from beginning to end!!! Most times I would have to listen to it on my computer, so I could scroll to the songs I wanted to hear, like: When 2 R in love, and Positivity and Wish You Heaven and Glam Slam. Now, though, I can listen to it from beginning to end with no problem.
