The 1999 album is finally inducted in the Grammy Hall of Fame!

Check this inductees list out:

I'm so proud of Prince! A classic such as this finally gets the wide praise it deserves.

Not only 1999, but Michael's Off The Wall also... biggrin

I know right. Just enjoy the fact that an album as incredible as 1999 got such a high honor. Go Prince.
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

Do you really even qualify PE as a classic? You're funny!

Looks like The Velvet Underground & Nico made it in as well. It baffles me that it wasn't included already!

Many times in the history of man, greatness is not seen untill many, many years later. I've been thumping how great this album is on this very site ever since I first joined. I was shocked to see that I was damn near alone in my thoughts on how brilliant this album is. I can't count how many threads I've written about the album. About that tour. About his unreleased songs from that album.Many threads. I've actually held back on threads from this album thinking nobody on here was really into the album like I am. Cool to see that there are a FEW more folks.

I've been trumpeting my love for 1999 here for years as well. It's his highest achievement, in my eyes.

Understandable.
If it took agreeing to be 1st presenter to get an all time classic like 1999 inducted, how many people would he have to blow to get New Power Soul inducted?... lol

I read up on the Grammy Hall of Fame, and nothing is eligible until it is at least 25 years old, so this was 1999's first opportunity to be inducted. I kinda doubt it got in because of Prince presenting...

for those who don't already know...
1999 is the album that made me a fan
and has been my favorite since day one
it still doesn't get enough recognition
though it's good to see the love it's being given here

thumbs up!

All that matters is that I like the album.
