Yup, that was his commercial peak. Other than that I think he's had numerous peaks and valleys throughout his career. Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise. | |

1978-1982 climbing the mountain 1984 was the peak 1985-1988 was slow descent with SOTT being a spike in a slow downward trend 1989-present more descent that being said, I don't hate the new material etc. I didn't listen to any of the 90s stuff during that time and recently went back to it - not much there is worth remembering. hardcore fans will have all kinds of variations but the above will be how it will be remembered historically.

TheFreakerFantastic said: ernestsewell said: Look here cranky pants, stop being a bitch all the time. Bootlegs ARE unofficially released stuff. Ergo, my statement. YOU said "I've heard quite a few unreleased tunes." I said we ALL have. "Moonbeam Levels". Heard that one? I bet ya have. Is it released? Well, only UNofficially. It was leaked out. Someone got a hold of it and on and on. Or how about "Old Friends 4 Sale", the original? Heard that one too? I bet ya have. Was it released officially? Nope, only the mediocre-lyric version. Unreleased/bootlegs, pretty much the same thing. Even if it's a concert, unless Prince released it on CD or DVD officially, it's STILL a bootleg. If you'd stop being so hell bent on having a snarky attitude, you'd realize, sunshine, that we're on the same page. Just a different paragraph. See, WE'RE JUST ALIKE.  Hey, mate. Yes i'm not being cranky but you seem to have a habit of trying to contradict me or be pedantic over petty things when its obvious what I mean. You even agree with me above by saying bootlegs are 'pretty much the same thing' as unreleased recordings, so why did you bother saying 'its called Bootlegs' when you know its the same. No need to fight about it but is it really worth trying to provoke people? So don't hassle me and I won't hassle you and I'm sure we'll get along fine. [Edited 5/25/09 11:37am] [Edited 5/25/09 11:41am] Now now....let me just wrap this discussion - until there is a shift in his religious belief, we will never see the vault open in the way we hope to, ie. all the tunes we have in dodgy bootleg format being released in pristine unedited euphoric quality - it AINT gonna happen | |
