i just don't think a 90's album should be included in his 5 best of all time
1)PR
2)SIGN o' THE TIMES
3)1999
4)dirty mind
5)parade
even hid good 90s works such as emanciaption and the gold experience can't compete with these works.
i'll stop posting this kind of topic for awhile. it seems on this site people will think everyyhing he does is brilliant. the truth is he had his time in the sun. he is an icon and is still a great live performer. i just don't think he has anything innovative left in him

In bold I CAN SPEAK FOR MYSELF THANKS! PLEASE WRITE THIS DOWN FOR yourself Rusty1; DONT SPEAK FOR ANYONE BUT SELF! NOT ALL ORGERS THINK PRINCE IS BRILLANT! NEED TO GET OVER SELF!

Let the church say Amen! rusty1 doesn't want to accept the fact that people don't see things the way he sees it and that's blatant disrespect in my book. If a Prince album from the 90's is in my top 10, why is it his business? And I don't give a fuck if the rest of the world thinks Prince fell off after 1990-whatever. The world doesn't buy my CD's, I DO and they can kiss my big, black ass in Macy's window if they care that much. This is a pointless thread that will get more people wound up and it's already rough in this forum. We don't need anymore stress and strife up in here.

the 80's music connected with the public emotionally and the songs were very solid to classic. the 80's albums you can listen 2 without hitting the skip button. the 90's albums first track to last track you got 2 skip 3 songs 2 get 2 2 good songs. the albums were overall uneven and didn't connect with is fans like in that creative peak.
for instance: jughead, arrogance, the flow, love 2 the nine's, 3 chains o' gold, damn u, the continental, love machine, insatiable(sounds like so many other of his slow works), most of the come album, the vault, nps, his last 3 works. prince can show flashes of brillance on all of this works but not enough for cohesive, concise consistant albums. silly game, sad but true, undisputed, most of chaos and disorder, the fans on here are trying there best 2 make the 90's seem more vital then it really was. there are so money weak songs lyrically and musically from the 1989 to 2008 period. songs that were either half baked, flat or average at best. some fans hate the song free from 1999. i think that song kills anything emotionally then anything he is doing 2day, if the 1999 album was acoustic, it still would've been a great album. the songs were strong lyrically and the arrangements were very innovative, on the 1999 album. it all comes down to the essence of the quality of the songs which makes them timeless.

wow, because i'm criticizing the fact that he's had so many missteps in his career. the last two of his movies were pathetic. he didn't tour for sign of the times. prince's 90s music shouldn't ne mentioned in the same breathe as his music of 2day. billy joels 1975 to 83 period was his zone, stevie wonders period was from 1971 to 1979. elton john's 70's works are way above the efforts of his later years. prince had his time when he connected with the audience with the combination of his image with his music working 2gether. prince kept you off guard from 1979 to 88. prince's sound grew and built from album to album. prince knew what he was doing and seemed to hit the pulse of what his fans wanted to here. prince went from new wave to building on the minneapolis sound on the controversy album. from there prince started singing in his normal register and experimented with sound effects and the drum machine, the 1999 album was where his sound became fully realized. prince then added a strong element on top of all that with purple rain. the 90's prince seemed lost and out of control at times. the embarassing slave written across his face along wiith the stupid name change. i don't know what his direction was othere than playing catchup with the trends. prince rapped and tried out hip hop. prince had the game boys as hid backup dancers. prince became a shell of the person who was the trenssetter of the 80's. i'm not going to post on this topic anymore because it's no use. prince doesn't have that connection emotionally with the music on a high level. prince hasn't had that since lovesexy.

I thought you didn't care for Lovesexy and Batman and they were 80's albums. You said SOTT was his last great album. Lets see if he responds to this one. lol

that's ur choice 2 skip them and or play them, and it's all ur taste in the music not everyone else's. the problem with u rusty is, ur post come off as if ur speaking 4 the whole prince fan community and it's not. u show no respect 2 others if they proclaim they like a album that u don't like. i have seen ur posts and just disagree about what u say about albums like come and others. just because u don't like them, doesn't make them fact that it's true. something u keep trying 2 push down everyone's throat.

if u truly belive in the quality of work prince has done past the 80's then get rid of all that music, don't buy any more current stuff, just reduce ur collection 2 the time period u love so much and just go on with ur life.
man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81

Is that what it's all about?

But glad you finally feel free to stop demanding that I not like Crystal Ball, Graffiti Bridge, New Power Soul, Chaos and Disorder and other '90's works.

Prince has never stopped being relevant to me. No I don't worship or even like everything he releases but I do appreciate his influence in my life, his talent and the inspiration he provides.

I guess as a fan, I'm just not as demanding or needy as others.
I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think.

For me its something like this:

1978 - 1979 (For You, Prince):
His early staps. His music and lyrics being 'not bad', but missing 'character'.

1980 - 1984 (Dirty Mind - Purple Rain):
The invention of the Minneapolis sound. A true musical innovator mixing funk, soul, pop, rock and electro to something special.

1985 - 1988 (ATWIAD - Lovesexy)
His artistic peak period. Very creative, sometimes quirky, but always intruiging.

1989 - 1995 (Batman - The Gold Experience)
The hit and miss period. His albums arent really 'masterpieces' anymore, but on each of them you can sorta find a handfull of 'gems' that is better then 90 percent of the music released during that period.

1996 - 1999 (Emancipation - Rave)
The lowpoint of his career IMO. Often very uninspired songwriting, and when he writes a good song he often spoils at by plastic production (thanks, Kirky J.!)

2000 - 2003 (The Rainbow Children - NEWS)
A slight improvement. He goes for a more organic sound, and at least tries some new things. But often these efforts are shadowed down by narrowminded JW-crap or boring jazz-rock rumblings.

2004 - 2008 (Musicology - Planet Earth)
The 'comeback' period. Prince trying to refocus again, delivering solid, enjoyable songs, instead of offering overindulgement in the form of 15 minute jams and wacko religious lyrics. Nonetheless, its all a bit 'safe', three 3 out of 5 albums in a row.

So, to conclude:
IMO Prince was at his peak from 1980 - 1988, and showing occasional sparks of genius in the first half of the nineties. But the second half of that decade were a true disaster, i think.

Something i was thinking about recently:

Most artists / groups with a career as long as Prince (lets say 20 - 30, or more, years) have the tendency to release albums less frequently when they get further in that career: The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, U2 and REM for example.
They not longer release an album every single year, but take 3 - 4 years to ensemble a new album.

But Prince kept releasing material (almost) every year, after his commercial / artistic peak-period in the eighties.

IMO he could have done better, albumwise, by collecting 'good' songs before releasing them on an album.

I mean, combining the better / best songs from the following albums would have made (far) stronger collections IMO:

- Batman and Graffiti Bridge
- Diamonds and Pearls and the Symbol album
- Come, The Undertaker and The Gold Experience
- Emancipation, New Power Soul and Rave
- The last three albums.

Anyone agrees?

True. They would've been brilliant albums but that is not P's creative process. Plus, I believe he has different ideas about what are his best songs (so do his fans). So he may have chosen the worst songs from each album! And they artists you named haven't benefited by waiting several years between releases.

GIVE ME A BREAK... Let's be realistic about the 1990 to 2008 phase of his career. PRINCE's worst albums and songs come from this latest time period. Prince didn't have one horrible album from 1979 to 1988. The 90's with the come album, the vault, nps, rave, his last 3 works. Prince has had maybe 5 solid works since 1990. I think there are fans on here that just say his 90s works are good, just for the hell of it. I'll be hip and say that jughead and now! match his superior time period. princes worst filler 80s material kills his 90s period. i think i can hear inspiring innovative works. led zeppelin, U2, and so on had historic works. Prince's music has been basically average witha few highs since the 90's. he played catchup with the hip-hop and rap trends beause he panicked. Prince's lovesexy didn't sell and he felt he had to rap and be something that he was not. the trendsetting 80s prince was innovative and quirky as can be. Prince had his own Minneapolis sound with the 1999 album. he created no new ground from 89 and on. people who say that his 90s works were great have no idea what classic music is.peace!!

that's just what pops into my head right now, excluding all the stuff
he released under pseudonyms or stuff that was released in the 1990's
but probably recorded at an earlier date.

the 90's had an enormous wealth of material. if he'd released 8 albums
of 10 songs they would have probably all been killer. the way i see it
we got those and an added bonus of about 100+ songs which range from a
lot of solids to a few duds to a handfull of bad ones.

mostly the 90's brought a variety of different styles and productions
and i love all that material with the exception of maybe 10 songs all
in total. not bad imo.

I really don't know why I am even commenting on this foolishness. However, I hate when people like Rusty1 speak in superlatives and try to speak for everyone on top of that. I was just saying to my sister how the only albums I consistently listen to in total from the 1980s are SOTT and LoveSexy. Most often, I find myself listening to songs from the latter part of his career. Since I have been a fan for so long, I have truly enjoyed the different eras of Prince music and musical experiementation. There were many GEMS in the 1990s and 2000s. He branched out into non-commerical eras with the instrumental albums, the jazzier sounds, the fun party jams, the One Nite Alone piano project and TRC. I have always thought that this period is unfairly dumped on by people who like to complain. If you don't dig the more R&B/soul and jazz sounds of the era cool, but to dismiss it all as rubbish, is, well, rubbish
perfection is a fallacy of the imagination...

PRINCE NEVER TOURED IN THE U.S. 4 SIGN o' THE TIMES. THAT ALBUM WOULD'VE SOLD MUCH MORE WITH BETTER SINGLE CHOICES AND A U.S. TOUR. AGAIN, PRINCE NEVER YOURED THE U.S. WITH SIGN! prince toured europe and never camr to the states. LOVE 4 ONE ANOTHER get your facts straight. eric leeds said it was the biggest mistake not touring the states with that album. i don't know love what hole you've been living under. you should know that's why he did the movie instead of touring the states with it. LoveSEXY was his last innovative work. i have to admit it. the batman album was when the oh oh word first came in2 play

RIVERPOET 31 is the only realistic post on this thread. he broke down each period brillantly. 1980 to 88 is where i would tell a new prince fan to experience a man at the height of his genious. the 90's stuff for the most part had some flashes of greatness but mostly uninspired songs ans wasted albums. The 90s fans should read riverpoets breakdon again

I guess your opinion on Prince's music is the only one that counts?
And the rest of us run around thinking we actually have a brain.
I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think.

prince has lost that edge musically. he is still a great live performer. the long time fans would rather hear his unreleased songs and claasic 80's period over the very inconsistent 1989 to present period live

I don't think he can. Rusty is shocked--shocked!--to discover people have different opinions from his and he won't be able to sleep until we all agree with him.

When did you start speaking for me?!!
I have been a fan since Nov. 7, 1979. I think that makes me a long time fan.
I could certainly pull two and half hours of material from the '90's that I would love to hear live.
I have plenty of live records of the '80's catalog.

But the greater issue is don't presume to state what I think or want. I can do that for myself.
I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think.

Rusty1,my man

exactly 13 people like Prince's 90's work, why get worked up about it's not a crime!
LET these 13 folk enjoy it, sheesh, whats the matter with you.

You enjoy the original 1999 sound, they dig the 1999 new master sound

leave these guys alone already!

bellanoche, graycap, L4OATheOriginal, i got your backs!,
tell them other 10 dudes for me! cool
