Graffiti Bridge album appreciation I don't know if this has already been done or not but I've recently dug out the Graffiti Bridge album, I haven't listened to it for ages and I don't know why - it's an absolute gem! OK there are a couple of dodgy tracks on there but there are some Prince CLASSICS
My faves are: Question of U We Can Funk - so sexy, this track makes me all tingly and is briliantly followed by... Joy In Repetition - imho one of his all time best tracks I think that this is probably one of my favourite Prince albums... I'm not stopping. I haven't even taken my coat off

no side artists songs and maybe a few more prince songs and this would have been a classic, imo. still  though, especially elephants and flowers, we can funk, joy repetition, etc.  .For all time I am with you, you are with me. | |

The Prince songs are almost all incredible, while the associated artists songs are almost all garbage. I do love Shake, though. What a great dance track. It's probably my fave Time song ever.

I was jazzed at the thought of a third double-album to listen to, but I don't think it needed to be a double album. The following tracklist would have been tight enough:
Can't Stop This Feeling I Got New Power Generation The Question Of U Elephants and Flowers We Can Funk Joy In Repetition Tick Tick Bang Thieves In the Temple Still Would Stand All Time Grafitti Bridge New Power Generation pt.

Of the Prince albums I own,
none of 'em has the strongest contrast in terms of quality as much as this one. For my tastes, I hear some of his best & some of his worst at the same time on this album. These are the ones I like: Can't Stop This Feeling I Got The ? Of U We Can Funk Round & Round Melody Cool Tick Tick Bang Thieves In The Temple & Joy In Repition is one my fave Prince songs ever. | |

As a single album, its a gem. Much better than Batman or Diamonds & Pearls. . | |

Grafitti Bridge was the bomb, filled with many musical treats!
We can funk Joy in repetition The question of U Thieves Still would stand all time The latestet fashion I like almost the whole album. | |

Great album! The Time's "Release It" is worth the price alone...what a slammin' funky track!!! "Love Machine" is jammin' too! "Shake" is probably the weakest associated artist song and it's definitely the weakest Time song on there...the others are ahead of it by light years.
Another reason this album is so special is because it's his first album to completely shed that plastic 80s sound (which is appropriate because it's his first album of the 90s). | |

though, especially elephants and flowers, we can funk, joy repetition, etc. .I AGREE! All their tracks could have been saved for their own albums. Purple Rain didnt include Sex Shooter and Jungle Love thank goodness...it wouldve ruined the whole point. I do like: Medoly Cool  and Latest Fashion (although I think the bootleg version is superior and more balanced) and of course Round And Round
They just seemed too far less than what Prince himself was putting on the album. With the exception of Tick Tick Bang..which like someone said in a other post..sounds off trying to remake a 1981 New Wave track to a 90's New Jack track. Straight Jacket Funk Affair
Album plays and love for vinyl records. | |

 As far as the Prince cuts, I LOVE IT!
I consider this to be the last album by the "old" Prince!. That's probably because almost every song was "old", lol. I'm sick and tired of the Prince fans being sick and tired of the Prince fans that are sick and tired! | |

I always leave The Latest Fashion on my Prince only version of the album as its a duet between Prince and Morris. But I always put the remix version on just so I can have country Prince singing...

OK, this thread made me go play the disc earlier. But I'll be damned if I ever watch that movie again! I never even bothered to buy the DVD with the music videos on it. Too risky!I'm sick and tired of the Prince fans being sick and tired of the Prince fans that are sick and tired! | |

Take off all the non-Prince songs, and you have an absolute masterpiece. He was still in the Lovesexy spiritual mode, but had the Batman techno-computer edge.
Add back in Tevin and George Clinton, and you still have a masterpiece. It's when The Time and Mavis are included that it becomes a jumbled mess. IMO he should have released his own album, and the soundtrack separately. But, that is how I choose to listen to it! |
