According to you we haven't moved on from the 80s yet I love all those post 80s albums. I'm sure some of those are on your list too but I'm the one who's stuck only loving one era and one type of Prince music.

Tired of reading your sorry ass threads.....have you read Tricky99 last post yet....nope....suckker...

LondonStyle said:

Where he makes zero sense? Notice how I left off Musuckology? That shit was lazy and uninspired on the heels of Rainbow Children's brilliance. He doesn't have to get brilliant every time but to pass off golden covered shit and claim it's worth something? Come on

It does and by their fataly flawed argument EVERYTHING is genius and everything is crap depending on personal taste. I know art is subjective but come the phuc on

If someone served up a pile of shit with delicious marinara sauce on it, there is zero argument that you are still eating shit but people are so beholden to this control freak and cannot feel validated if they said anything bad about their God that they hold up that plate and say "look at the marinara"!

Put your handbag down.....and take a step back....from the mirror....

a person's religion is their own business but i can say it got a lot harder to participate in the fan community when prince became a jw.

remember ten years ago when you weren't a real prince fan if you ate meat?

Its all rather pointless isn't it lol. I still don't understand why people believe that just becasue i'm not on here labeling some Prince album "shit" means I don't have favorites and others that I think are just ok. I was disappointed with NPS and Rave to some extent. But i'm content to enjoy what they are then whine about what they are not. I guess its a positive outlook. And I can forgive Prince his failings for the very reason that I have never considered him a "god". He is just a very exceptional musician. One of the most unique in recorded music. Nothing he does do I take personally.

The name change, the utube thing, his battle with the fansites are all interesting from a spectator point of view but has zero to do with my enjoyment or not of the music.

Prince does not produce "shit". the same way the beatles or Picasso, or Toni Morrison never produce shit. The talent and intelllect of these people precludes that from happening on a general level. Does that mean i or anyone has to enjoy it? No. But I'm smart enough to hear the work and process that their work encompasses without necessarily having to personally enjoy it.

Too many of the opinions of the "haters" seem to be from the perspective that their personal regard for a piece of music is an objective measure of its worth. I know this is a fallacy and act accordingly.

So to u Musicology was "gold covered shit"? Its the extremes that bother me. It simply didn't live up to your personal expectations but that doesn't make it worthless. To denigrate the "art" as such is an insult to the artist as well as those fans who appreciate the work. What's more it gives insight into your personality which by your very example in this post points to a vulgarity of spirit and a general crassness that is ugly.

I guess its a positive outlook.

You really should try reading the first thread and then making a comment afterwards.....just because you heard Prince in the 70/80's does not mean you should not read a thread first Tricky99 thread has some good points.....

Your comments are based on age but not wisdom ...

I've come to the conclusion from reading lots of reviews of Prince's latest that alot of reviewers disregard Prince's output unless it falls along a pop/rock fault-line.

I think they like some orgers are very dismissive of r&b and soul music. I haven't taken a scientific poll but I believe the guitiar based songs are given more props because it falls in line with what the generic white-listener wants to hear. I don't see this as racism but more racial. In that they are only reflecting thru the critique of Prince their own musical bias.

Remember Prince reached his popularity peak with an album that was more pop/rock then the majority of his output. Its become quite cliche to read some reviewer who will praise Prince while tending to dismiss the last 15 years worth of songs that cover a whole gamut of musical styles. I can't think of another musician who is lauded as a genuis but who's actual work as been so dismissed.

Each album bring phrases "like return to form" (what form?) "self-indulgent" (who should he indulge?) and "hit or miss" (funny but the "hit" and "misses" changes with each reviewer). Each reviewer seems to want Prince to return to some undefined form that doesn't exist. Generally there has never been a time Prince produced the same kind of music over an extended time period.

I think part of the problem is that Prince so extraordinarliy creative, prolific and contrary that there really isn't much precedent in the music world on how to approch him. Fans and critics have taken for granted that Prince will always be producing music. Its too much music for most of it to be good right? He's too old for it too be good right? Take a look at how much music that gets 4 stars from reviews would be described as disapointing if Prince's name was attached to it.

I really feel that no matter how "good" a Prince album is it will always be dismissed to some digree with the 3 terms I described earlier. Prince is too radical to be safely praised be the majority. Very many will claim only a piece of the purple rock, few love the many aspects he presents..

i mean really.

he sounds like a white guy.
