Kiss.
I didn't have much $ when this was released so I never bought any albums unless I heard them first. This was the first time I bought a record without hearing any other songs or waiting for reviews. Bought it the day it was released I was so sure it would be great. And it is.

Computer Blue - Wendy? Yes, Lisa...Is this track funky enough? Yes, Lisa...Shall we begin? Yes, Lisa.

I LOVE YOUR SIG!!!

I heard that on the radio and loved it, went to the music store and bought the 8 track...
THEN I heard soft N wet...
and I put 1 and 1 together and figured out that they were by the same person...some guy named "Prince"
so I went and bought that 8 track.
Fell in love with both albums in their entirety

Exactly...I was eight years old and thought that the song was by DeBarge initially.

When I was in High School,I had a major crush on a guy who could rip Bambi apart on his guitar!!!

Ahhh...memories!

Tina (~!~)

Lets go Crazy!!!

The first I liked was Diamonds and Pearls, I was 5 at the time. But what made me a die hard fan was 7.

dirty mind/controversy...not just the songs but the albums

Pluv said:

LOL! Just tell 'em to go to the Music: Non-Prince boards and look around! We've definitely had our fair share of Lady Tee conversations over there! Also, check out Yes Indeed from the It Must Be Magic CD! Absolute underrated classic!!!

alexnvrmnd said:

Yes Indeed it is awesome

I wanna see Teena at the park...keep up the lady T talk here...Prince has got to love her, how could he not.
The beautiful words she uses, her beautiful sound, her passion , her sultry voice...the feeling that comes over you while listening to Teena...shes got the same effect as the man Prince...to see them on stage together, or even just back to back shows...Good Gawd what an experience THAT would b...imma make this a post in its own!

would you like to see my house???
its a purple house...

GOD i loved that video...is it still available???
I would love to see the purple rain track off there...all 18 mins of it !!!

Oh...Purple rain was my introduction to prince...but Erotic city was the one that did it !!!
Every time i hear that song...he he...i aint goin there baby !!!
NO ONE and i mean NO ONE used the F word in the early 80's
i mean come on...what else could you listen too??? WHAM??? euuurgh

1999 introduced me to Prince's music way back in 82'. But what really got me hooked was hearing 17 Days for the first time. I wore my 45 out!

The Beautiful Ones, because it was the only time that I ever said to myself, "I thought only God could write a song that good." lol.

Dansa, why you say, black sheep?

I liked him before, but I was turned by...Paisley Park/shes always in my hair!

That did it for me!

One song wasn't enough. It's the story an album tells.

The Purple Rain album was first. Borrowed it from my boyfriend, stayed up until 4:00 am listening on the headphones over and over. I thought, "Wow! Great album!" I wanted more.

Got 1999 and listened to it non-stop. I was deep in for the moment.

Got the rest of his albums: For You, Prince, Dirty Mind, Controversy. INCREDIBLE!!! But where's he gonna go next?

ATWIAD and I was hooked for life!

1999

OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD...

I'd say Erotic City probably tipped me over the edge.

M.2.E.

Yea, I'm up on most of my Teena now, I was just naming a few that turned me out Still can't get w/ the whole Cassanova Brown phase/album, but I dig her earlier stuff (Wild & Peaceful, Irons in the Fire, It Must Be Magic). I don't have Lady T though, how's that one??

Dumbass!!!

Hmm... old thread, but i'm fresh n new up in here so... lol

what made me a die-hard...I remember being into Michael Jackson from the time I started listening to what mom and pop put on the wrecka playa..mainly the Jacksons' Philly period. Then one day I was at my big bro's house messing with his vinyl (like i wasn't supposed 2) and I put on "I wanna be your lover". The tune was so catchy that i had liked it on the radio, but listening to the lyrics really for the first time was different. When the song said "..i wanna be your brother, ...mother and sister too.. there ain't no other that can do the things that i'll do to you.." I was just a little kid, but for real, I was like .. W-Wait, hold up...what the heck is this dude talkin about? The dualism of the lyrics, plus the sensual sexuality all hit me at once...and i was hooked!

dirty mind. what a BOLD move he made.
the guy when from "a commerical successful album'to
something as RAUNCHY and non-radio friendly as DIRTY MIND.

that made me say-this DUDE is MY guy!!!

by the way...the title track is one of my faves.
fink's synth line is had to get out of my head.

"in my daddy's car...you're the one i wanna DRIVE"

The first Prince song I ever heard was 1999. Die hard fan from that moment on.

1999 started it Little Red Corvette backed it up Delirious kicked it on the side lines then When Doves Cry,Let's Go Crazy,and the rest of the Purple Rain album made me want everything Prince had anything to do with...
