Has anybody seen Planet Earth on any Best of 2007 lists? I'm wondering if it will make any.

Honorable mention:

You don't think it deserves a mention for best of 07?

NoVideo said:

Best what? Exhibition of lyrical mediocrity by a once-great writer?

NoVideo said:

no way. lots of good music came out in 2007. prince couldn't keep up this time, i'm afraid.

What came out this year that's better than Planet Earth?

I love you, Sexxydancer! Please don't make me break your heart by answering that question! It's Christmastime! You know, peace on earth, goodwill toward man and such!

mark ronson's "version" comes to mind. it may not be the best album of 2007, but it was leagues better than planet arf.

Anxiety said:

Don't get all coy on me now, Anx! I know you meant planet barf!

What was better,tho?

Have seen a few lists and no sign of Planet Earth - am not at all surprised, but most reviews of the year feature Prince's 'return' and his 21 Nights at the O2 - not surprised by that either.

i think he had a stellar year as a live performer. not so much that he knocked out legendary performances from an artistic standpoint, but i think he achieved a whole lot and had a lot of success from a very unconventional approach.

I LOVE PLANET EARTH

That's the point I was making.

i really hope not

Once again, maybe it could have been, but failed to get the right kind of promotion that might have put some of the better singles in peoples' ears.

It was one of my favorites, but I bought very few new albums this year

he got mentioned in the sunday times' "biggest duds of 2007" list

pplrain said:

we're talking about the same album, right? cuz there's no writing on the cover, it's easy to get it confused.

OMG

also that "honorable mentions" list seems more like "all the other albums i heard this year"

Anxiety said:

Confused with what? Did you put out a Planet Earth album?

pplrain said:

well, there was that one night i had vegan black bean stew and i soonafter put out something earthy and somewhat planetary. one could draw comparisons.

Anxiety said:

Again when I'm feeling blue somebody can put a smile on my face.

Anxiety said:

Ewww! I hope you put it out in a cup to share with your friends... don't want to waste your efforts.

I have been saying this all along.If the cd had been promoted it might have sold well. It is not the worst CD he has made. I say Rave and C&D still hold those titles.

I did not buy a lot of new music this year because I think a lot of stuff just plain sucks. I do not think P is doing anything worst than a lot of other artist.

FBM did "well"....it got Prince nominated for grammy.

Planet Earth is the best thing I heard that came out this year.

What Prince really deserves to be recognized for in 2007 is that brilliant Super Bowl performance (which he is, by the way, in the new issue of New York magazine).

It's number 61 on Paste's list:

It's the only list he has appeared on so far, though.

Planet Earth will be around number 8 on my year-end list.
