That Prince has that 1 song, like Kiss was to UTCM, like Alphabet Street was to Lovesexy, on this new album he's going to drop?

not very good...
and IMHO that is just fine !

Prince is above and beyond the
teen pop bubblegum bs that is
the top of the charts.

Hang on here. What I mean is not the bubblegum shit. You still like Prince hits right? Thing is, when he does (and that's asking a lot now), its timeless. I suppose what I mean is hit for the Prince fans. Not necessarily charting.

Trying to create a 'hit' for Prince fans is really impossible at this point. Thanks to Prince, we all have extremely high standards that run the gamutized spectrum. Some like funk Prince, others rock Prince. Some want spiritual Prince, others, dirty Prince.

We are an insatiable lot. Let's just hope he pleases himself. That way at least one person will be satisfied.

My message to Prince, "DO YOU, DADDY!!!"

I don't think those two songs are the best on their respective albums. In fact, I think most of the songs on Parade are better than "Kiss." I have always liked "Girls and Boys" the most on that album. "New Position," "Anotherloverholeinyohead," "Mountains" and "Sometimes it Snows in April" are all much better than Kiss, to me at least.
On Lovesexy, I like Glam Slam, When 2 R in Love, and Lovesexy better than Alphabet Street. Of course, this is just my opinion.

Which is exactly why we'll never see the end of the "why can't Prince make music like he use to" type of threads. Those threads are gettin ridiculous now People need to realise that everyone's different and has different tastes. I happen to love "never be another like me" out of all the recent songs, while most ppl said it's distasteful etc. I like funk, spiritual, ballad and dirty Prince.
One of the very first thing I said when I joined the org was that Prince just need to do wat makes him happy when it comes to the music, cause if he tries too hard to please fans, he'll be like a sad, unhappy, confused puppet.
