25 and 9 months, but what's your point anyway? Does it matter whether someone is 24, 25 or 26? No offense but die-hard Prince fans between the ages of 18 - 25 usually have a tainted view of Prince's music pre-Purple Rain and how it fit among the other prominent music of the time before drum machines and technology dominated. Most of you were still wet behind the ears before you could understand the cohesive quality of a Prince album. You're a part of the Pre Generation X gang. When you finally got a copy of Moonbeam Levels, there was probably some lyric in it that prevented you from committing suicide or shooting up somebody at school. (When I'm refering to "you" I don't mean you personally, I just mean the majority of people in that age group) And you may simple prefer Moonbeam Levels over Free. That's great. But GROWN folks who know both songs would choose Free. Yeah!  "Climb in my fur." | |

Im 20
I chose Free I didnt like the song at first, then i heard it all the way, and the piano break at the end left me at tears. Moonbeam Levels had got 2 much hype from fans and Per Nilsen, over rated as: saying that it was "one of the best" ha ha, don't think so. I could live without that one. Straight Jacket Funk Affair

The screams are killer. Chants are wonderful. Kinda reminds me of The Ladder in a sense Straight Jacket Funk Affair

But as someone stated before, "Free" fits better on the 1999 album. Moonbeam Levels with that guitar feedback sounds like a hybrid between the 1999 sound and some of the Purple Rain song. I agree with this. I like Moonbeam Levels better as a song also. But, I don't think it would flow with the rest of the 1999 album. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Free.
Anybody who says 'Moonbeam Levels' doesn't know what the fuck they're talking about. | |

I chose "Free" to be on the album and I'm 22.  However, I do like "Moonbeam Levels" better. "Moonbeam Levels" is my favorite outtake of his. I agree that "Moonbeam Levels" works better as an outtake and doesn't fit the album as well as "Free," which I also love. | |

Nice flame bait there, old fart.  Just kidding.
I agree that Free might fit a little better on the album (although I think neither fit that well), but I still prefer Moonbeam Levels. It rocks a little harder and it's more catchy. Better guitar-work too. Free isn't bad, it's just not as good. Anyway, I'm 23, so I have no idea what good music is when it comes to Prince apparently. | |

I personally think that "Free" is, if not his greatest, one of his greatest songs EVER! NEW WAVE FOREVER: SLAVE TO THE WAVE FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE. | |

Can't argue with that! Of course, it's kind of common sense. The younger you are, the more unlikely you are to be into Prince- in the pop world, he's old news. I don't see how he can even make new fans when he makes his music so hard to attain these days and there's virtually zero promotion...
But that's another topic. | |

But GROWN folks who know both songs would choose Free. First of all this is a QUESTION OF OPINION! THERE IS NO RIGHT OR WRONG ANSWER! It was just a question to see what people think. Second not only are you short-sited and obtuse, but you are also obviously an idiot  I say this because someone has to be younger than 25 to like Moonbeam Levels? That may be the single most idiotic thing I've ever read on the Org. (and that tough).
I am over 25 and love Moonbeam Levels. That's my opinion. It has nothing to do with how old/young I am. I ALSO DO NOT RIP OTHERS FOR LIKING A SONG OR PUT THEM DOWN AS BEING YOUNG, OR IGNORANT FOR NOT AGREEING WITH ME LIKE YOU. It must be nice sitting on your throne  thinking your king. Because you obviously know all.

If you look closely, by refering to "you" I didn't mean him personally. The previous passage was just my opinion. At the end of the passage I enclosed a which would probably mean I was joking. I didn't express my view by calling anyone an IDIOT like you. Now, if what I said offended to the point of name calling, then you are a person over the age of 25 with the mind of a child. If you are willing to debate the issue with as sense of maturity, then regroup your thoughts. Otherwise, I invite you to kiss the blackest part of my ass.
