Which album by Prince (or any other artist) suits you stylistically more than any other? This is not a question regarding your favorite album, but rather one which reflects your personal taste. For me, the album is "1999." It is a masterpiece of trippy experimental synth funk with subject matter with which I greatly identify. "1999" was my first album and I owe a lot to the title track, which was integral in getting me into music in the first place. "Something in the Water (Does Not Compute)" may be the song that I identify with most. "All the Critics Love U in New York," "Delirious," "DMSR" and "Automatic" bring me back to my childhood when I was first listening to them and marvelling at the depravity of the subject matter. I owe a great deal to this album for opening my eyes to music.

surprised you didn't think of a swallow.

HellerHighwater said:

Not on the first date...

IceNine said:

second?

HellerHighwater said:

Hey, I don't want to slow you down... we can do it on the first date, my love bunny.

Lovesexy,

it represents all those things in life that are hardest to do, and how actually doing them sure enough was trying. So, you fail. And then dance on.

Glam Slam is my most identifiable Prince song. Also my favorite. It's funky in a flower way.

This cryptic message was brought to you by Lovesexy, not the NPGMC

IceNine said:

get off of this thread..it's a good thread, don't jack it.

HellerHighwater said:

Speaking of jacking it... why don't you come over?

Sorry for jacking your thread, Moonbeam!!!

HellerHighWater just got here... I will stop jacking your thread now... I will be a bit busy! :LOL:

IceNine said:

So, which album suits you personally?

Moonbeam said:

I like ALL of the early stuff and even stuff into the nineties!

All of the suit me in some way since I am a completely insane maniac.

IceNine said:

Good to know I'm not the only one who belongs in an asylum... Does one particularly suit you though?

I am insane too...and hungover.

Bloody office parties!

1999

IceNine said:

edit...I gotcha!

Moonbeam said:

With Prince, I would guess that 1999 or Purple Rain would do the trick...

TRC..It's stripped down,professional,AND conceptual..and i just "FEEL IT"..I'm probably the only person who LIKES the "deep voice" on the album! And...I like "The Feast"(?)! AND it SOUNDS great on a great speaker system.

Your time is coming, my little cupcake...

I will have you soon... you are my Juliette.

IceNine said:

Just feeling sick and sorry for myself.

I think the only thing that can fix me up is another drink. In Australia we call that having "hair of the dog that bit you".

I think I'll steel myself and have some hair of the dog.

IceNine said:

I don't know whether to believe you or not...all this "sparrow" and "hellcat" stuff...



Seems you are the ladies man...do you need a bottle of Courvoisier? I don't wanna hear it if that's spelled wrong!

Thanks, Ice...for bringing that to my attention.

Albums that suit me personally?

Prince- Parade
Bjork- Post
The Cure- Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me
Belle & Sebastian- Tigermilk

rainbowray,

I also like the deep voice on Rainbow Children. I never understood the deal about it taking away from the album. Well, I kinda do, but...it's not too bad

Emancipation Disc 2 (Soulful, Sensual, and Emotional)

The Rainbow Children (Funky, Jazzy, emotional too, also soulful, silly/humorous)

Come & Love Sexy SEXUAL!

Each of those albums describe me in some say

Blue
Dont play me

Moonbeam said:

That's partly why we as Blazer/Laker fans (be gentle with me, I'm a lamb ) have a bond, Moon; we LOVE the 1999 album. I could name multiple Prince albums, but 1999 has intangibles I never tire of.

Also:
Jack Johnson - Miles Davis
Plantation Lullabies - Meshell Ndegéocello
John Coltrane & Johnny Hartman - John Coltrane & Johnny Hartman
Ani DiFranco - To The Teeth
Kid A - Radiohead
Headhunters - Herbie Hancock
Led Zeppelin II - Led Zeppelin
Electric Ladyland - Jimi Hendrix
