Touchy touchy touchy

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

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

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

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!

. 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.

u got my back? and these 13 fans u speak of must b from this thread alone and not from housequake, prince fams, and any other fan that is not logged on2 the internet right?

L4OATheOriginal said:

I havent the slightest idea where they're hiding at?
maybe you can find them

violetblues said:

they r right in front of u

the bottom line is that all of his weakest albums and songs come from the 90's. i still find it amazing that fans of him 4 over 20 yrs really dig his later music. the 80's were great and the rest of his career has flashes of brillance and wasted albums. whatever..! i'll keep listening 2 his classic works along with his omly 5 good 90's works

Poor rusty...its must be hard living in the past


Prince has moved on...maybe u might like to do the same

If I had to be stuck with just listening ONLY to his so called "greatest work" from the 80's I would honestlty go nuts!

L4OATheOriginal said:

hmmmmm Like Harvey, that rabbit? from that movie with James Stewart?

Poor rusty...its must be hard living in the past


Prince has moved on...maybe u might like to do the same

sadly the train has already left and not coming back, get it?

(ATWIAD lyrics, the train is leaving all day)

toots said:

and even more sadly is the train left the 80's yet still some want 2 reverse the train

L4OATheOriginal said:

that will ALWAYS be the case here and it's quite saddening, it really is.

purplecam said:

4 those that miss the old lyrics, that says more about u than it does me -prince xenophobia celebration 2002

and that's the truth 4 sure

PurpleKnight said:

Exactly. Prince stopped being a leader and followed the trend..probably from the pressure of the record company..which thus put a big stab in the music
