I choose PE because of Future Baby Mama,

I love them both, ok Musicology is a a little preferred but that could be influenced by this PE hatin board

I pick Musicology. While I really like Future Baby Mama and Somewhere Here on Earth. I dislike Lion of Judah and Resolution more than I could any song on Musicology.

I always thought The One U Wanna C should have been released on Country Radio.

Not joking.
It's such a Shania-type song. They could've done it live at one of the country award shows.

I love the one u wanna c, I loved it when they played it on the radio, I know it doesn't take much to make me happy, I am relatively simple

I mean it. I seriously think that song (it's style combined with the WTF-Prince on country radio?? factor) could've gotten Country Radio play.

johnart said:

I like the guitar part, but I don't find it to be at all cuntry, Shania is cool to me 2 so, either which way i guess it's cool

Close2u said:

I find it very cOuntry-pop.

I guess Prince is puttin the Cunt in Country just for you Johnart

I choose Musicology,

I like 8 songs:

Musicology (4:24) Great
Illusion, Coma, Pimp & Circumstance (4:46) Great
A Million Days (3:50) Great
Call My Name (5:16) Great
What Do U Want Me 2 Do? (4:15) Great
On The Couch (3:34) Good
Dear Mr. Man (4:15) Great
Reflection (3:05) Good

On Planet Earth, I only like four:

Planet Earth (5:51) Great
Guitar (3:45) Good
Somewhere Here On Earth (5:46) Good
Future Baby Mama (4:47) Great

Planet Earth. Doesn't have a weak track.

well l like them both ,,,,,

but for planet earth there isnt any weak track to me...

but love somewhere here on earth and future baby mama....the best...the rest of it still good..

for musicology...its still a good solid one.. love call my name the best ....

I absolutely agree. It's the only recent albumn I listen too from start to finish regularly. Not only do I think it's better than Musicology, I also think it's better than 3121, Lotus and MPLS.

Great album, that brings back great memories from the O2

I've played Planet Earth way more than I've played Musicology. Musicology has some good tracks but there's something missing for me. It never really grabbed me enough. The only thing I really don't like on PE is Chelsea Rodgers.

yeah same here l wasnt too keen on chelsea rodgers either .... l dont knw what it is ??? its just tht particualar song .....

Planet earth is way better than Musicology. I think PE is such a awesome album

I think it feels out of place with the rest of the album, I burned a copy with FUNK there instead and it flows much better for me.

Musicology. More coherent album whereas Planet Earth is good but all over the place.

of them but as albums i don't like them at all.

Musicology is horse shit.

Planet Earth far outshines it.

musicology cause it's FUNKIER than anything on planet shit!

3 Great tracks on Musicology

Lyrically and musically Resolution is the cornier than a turd after the 4th of July picnic.

Probably the 3rd corniest/cheesiest song since Graffiti Bridge and Cherry Cherry for me.

johnart said:

Yeah, Resolution is like the stepchild of "Reflection" or something. "Lion of Judah" isn't too great either.

ernestsewell said:

Those two are my only real issue with Planet Earth.
On the spot, I couldn't stand Planet, but looking back I do think it gets a worse wrap than it deserves. (Lawd have I gone soft?)
I have more of a mental block about it. When I give in and play it, I don't hate it at all. Guitar was my ringtone forever.

Musicology has a stronger meaning to me, but I do love them both

johnart said:

Let's hope not!




It's mine right now. Tracfone has a few Prince tones.

ernestsewell said:

It seems to be a common opinion that Resolution is corny, I read it in some review too. I personally think it's a positive song both lyrically and musically. Especially the intro is very good.
