Wow, you judge people by the artists they like?

Is it okay if I presume you're a religious recluse who paraded around in women's underwear in the 80s?

Remember I joined this forum for a reason, buddy, I like Prince's music too.

That doesn't mean I have to like everything he does, nor do my other musical tastes have anything to do with...well...anything. I simply posted my opinion on the album here and that was that.

Its not what u say, its how u say it sad

ONCE AGAIN PEOPLE, THIS ALBUM DIDN'T SELL WELL, DUE TO LACK OF PROMOTION, NOT BECAUSE OF THE ALBUMS QUALITY!

Lack of radio play is the main problem here, otherwise it wasn't a bad album!
Prince promoted this album to his hollywood and las vegas crowd, filled mostly of Celebs.

Prince did only a few performances to promote (SNL, AMERICAN IDOL, BET AWARDS), but for an album like "3121", with two proper singles, I'd say Gold Status is just fine, I'm sure he made a million off of it.

So polls and census like this don't mean crap.
I could care less!!!

I Loved the entire album!


People are thinking too much about how something sells the 1st week or couple of weeks. Some things sell huge when they first come out and then completely drop, and there are others that build a following and sell over time.

Going "gold" and selling 1/2 million albums (CDs) with no radio or tour isn't bad at all, especially considiering this didn't sell that much the 1st week. The TV performances sold this one....
