For some reason, this seems like the most sensible answer to me...


I'm quite surprised that so many people actually seem to rate ANY track off
NPS as superior to any track off Purple Rain! I certainly don't 'hate' NPS,
I actually quite like about half the tracks (Mad Sex, Push It Up, Come On,
The One, Wasted Kisses), but even so, Purple Rain is in a completely different
league. It's like comparing Stevie Wonder's Innervisions with TLC's first
album, or the Beatles' Revolver with Oasis.

Some things shouldn't even be joked about. NPS shouldn't be praised even in jest. Buying that album was a profound tragedy in my young life. Prince had lost it so bad that I knew he was never gonna get it back. Hurricane Katrina, 9/11 and the tsunami were carnivals next to that.

I don't even need to look at the list because the weakest song on "Purple Rain" is much better than the strongest song on "New Power Soul".
Andy is a four letter word.

There's a difference between varying tastes and bad taste. NPS, the song, is awful. It's impossible for human beings with functioning ears to prefer that to Let's Go Crazy unless somebody forced you to listen to Let's Go Crazy continuously with no sleep while beating you (you get the picture). Other songs are debatable and the occassional weirdo is bound to prefer NPS the album (I like Chaos and Disorder) to Purple Rain but the title song, NPS, is possibly one of the worst songs ever recorded-- by anybody.


yeah right, you telling me crap like "eye like funky music" and "freaks on this side" is better? NPS (the song) is a masterpiece (with those horns, especially) in comparison!



Honestly, I couldn't tell you much about those songs and I wouldn't defend any song outside of Mad Sex on that album. All I know is that NPS (the song) is awful and not in a comical way like Jughead or My Name is Prince.
