lol this is gonna sound nuts but i actually like it when she sings "WHOO HOO HOO" at the end of take me with you. It so horribly out of tune it actually sounds quite interesting


falloff

You know...back in the day I used to think that it had been somehow digitally manipulated to sound "strange"...only later to realize that it was just her tone-deaf self.

O hell no falloff
(Tone deaf my be right) lol

We all like to discuss favorite albums and favorite songs.

Here's a challenge;
...what do YOU consider to be the weakest track on the Purple Rain album?

Honestly, it's such a good album for me that I'm hard-pressed to name one. But if I really, really had to, then I think that I'd pick; "Baby I'm A Star".

shrug

What say U?


oh, no, you di'int. Baby I'm A Star is some funky.

The album is basically perfect, but Take Me With U is the easy choice. It's merely good as opposed to mind blowingly amazing like most of the other tracks.
The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.

Have any of you ever heard "Sex Shooter" with Vanity singing the lead vocals instead of Apples? Vanity's version was much better, and the track was a bit more funky.


I've heard it nod Vanity sounds much more convincing...like a true nasty girl.On the Apollonia 6 version,it sounds like Apollonia is just playing a role,trying to be something she's not.

Yeah I heard it.
Vanity wasn't much of a great singer herself...but definitely waaaaay better than Apollonia.

Wow some of the stuff posted here....Jeez...I dont know what to say

Whoever said that "Computer Blue" would be the weakest track, should stop listening to Prince at all if you ask me confused

Errm soryy but as far as i know CB is considered a musical masterpiece! The whole structure of the song, i mean besides Bowie, which person on earth can write a song like CB please? razz

Of course it's a great track, but it's the weakest of the bunch, if only for the phrase "Till I find my righteous one"

For me, it's either I Would Die 4 U or Take Me With U


I'm gonna say Take Me With U because Apples didn't have to sing on that track; her voice is a bit annoying, IMO.

I think that he just gets bored. Like with Mavis Staples...once the novelty of working with a Staples singer wore off, he moved on.

If it's due to preference,
I'd have to say "Baby I'm A Star" too.
It's an okay song to me, I just don't love it.

I guess "Darling Nikki". It's a great track but in comparison to all the other killers on there, it's a bit sparse. "Take Me With U" is a favorite little ditty and I like Apples bit on there.

Damn it is hard to loose since Purple Rain album is one CD you can listen from start to finish.

If I have to choose then it would be I Would Die For U because it was too short, I like the movie version better and to this day I still wondered was it ever release? I do have it only because I recorded the audio of it from my computer.
