would u prefer a new p cd once a year that u get excited over then retire to collect dust or would u rather wait and get a cd of gems. Discuss.

4 the record im in the latter. I dont even know where my 3121 or planet earth cds r ( dont tell L4 LOL) and i only played the 21 nights cd once. But listening to a collection of 80s songs today put a huge smile on my face and believe me after a day of pounding the pavements job hunting i needed it. Whole albums make my mp3 player but later albums i cherry pick only a few. Pls tell me the new stuff will change my attitude as i havent heard any of it yet.

I'd prefer quality, and for me that means sticking to my old stuff. I never even listened to the cd that came with the 21 nights book.

I'll listen to anything Prince does at least once....I don't know how you can have a prince cd sat there that you've never listened too!

So bizarre! - Are you a Prince fan?

It's all quality, when U love Prince.

Exactly Tame....Prince CD's lying around unplayed and unheard...whatever next!

I keep hearing how great princes after shows r. This cd really doesnt convince me. Maybe its the stage presence that does it bring out a dvd to change my mind

I'd rather him put out a new album every year than wait. I want to hear new stuff from Prince all the time. It's Exciting .

But be honest. What out of ur collection do u play the most. New stuff or timeless classics. Me its the classics. When they were released u never knew what prince was going to do it was exciting and thrilling- which boundary was he going to push this time. Now (dare i say it) its a little boring and repetitive. If the purple r watching this is entirely my own opinions. And b 4 any one says how can u be a fan if t have these opinions is called having a mind of my own.

Yes and yes

Yes, I agree with most of what you say PRB but the point is, you still never know what you are going to get with Prince...and the only way you get to know that is by listening to the CD's surely!....to have a Prince CD sat there and never hear it because you only listen to the classics is a little pointless don't ya think?

My understanding of a fan is someone who enjoys listening to a particular artist's music quite a lot...but you don't have to like everyhting you hear, just the majority of it... I don't like the majority of Elton John's music..hence I don't class myself a fan.

Back in the 60's, 70's and 80's boundaries could be pushed and music could be really different. But in this day and age, what boundaries are left to push?

I'll listen to everything Prince produces..will I like it all...probabley not...will I like most of it, probabley...will I always be a Prince fan...most definately.

I want quality and quantity but I love getting something new from Prince every year. It's a big reason why I went from being a big Prince fan to a diehard Prince fan in 1991. I love getting something new from the dude, like a present you get at Christmas. It's just fun for me.

i will always be a fan, but i used to be a fam.

i dust off the cds everynow and then, and never skip tracks because im sure thats how prince envisiged(sp?) them to be listened to. but they usually go right back on the shelf. to once again collect dust. but the classics always make me want to listen to more, or watch a movie, or read a book about P, they get me excited, makes me remember why i became a fan in the first place.


maybe its old age

but i keep perservering..

i never really took to Condition of the heart, i never liked the beginning- but i had a moment last year when i really stopped and listened to it, and its now one of my fav songs. i still dont like the beginning tho

I want regular music. Then I can pick and choose from the albums to make my own classic.

If I had to wait 3 years for a record on the level of Sign o' the Times, I would. No question. There's plenty of other music to experience & enjoy.

golfgolfmark said:

great point- never thought of it that way.

it makes being a fan interesting coz not everyone likes the same things- opens up to "friendly" discussions

So true

Quality each and everytime. It's like paying out for a beautiful leather jacket as oppossed to a fake one. It will last years.

QUANTITY.
