3121 - Historic?

www.3121countdown.com

Did we ever learn why this CD was meant to be historic?

I mean, when Prince touted his own Rainbow Children album as 'controversial' he was right - it turned out to be just that - especially lyrically, and it still splits the fans today. But 3121 has shown itself to be about as historical as our dog.

Did anything go wrong, or was it just OTT hype?

Whaddyareckon?

Definitely just hype. I still love the CD though, no matter how un-historic it may be in the scheme of things.

Isn't it the only album to ever be nominated for a Grammy that wasn't ever heavily polluted on the airwaves? giggle

Oh I agree with that, but it still seems odd that the 'historic' reference was used.

Hey, NEWS was nominated for a grammy and that certainly didn't get much radioplay.

Musicology actually WON Grammy Awards and didn't get much of a sniff of the airwaves!

If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.
