I think many people on here should realise that not everyone was alive for Purple Rain. That was 27 years ago.

^ Correction:

You mean alive for Parade, and it was 25 years ago.

Really, people should realise that not everyone was alive/old enough in the 80's in general.

Where's your avatar gone, Carrie?

Oh and yeh, Parade is superb, hypnotic and one of his best. Enjoy

I was trying to change my avatar, but couldn't get the new picture size small enough without making it look like a blurry mess. And I haven't put the old one back up. It was from one of my favorite scenes in UTCM when they are dancing and he calls Mary Cabbage Head! <3

I'm a big fan of the movie and the album!

If you put the pic up on imageshack or something, I'll see what I can do on Photoshop if you want, see if I can shrink it but keep the quality

Aww so cute I hope you enjoy the album^_^!!

But I didn't know Walmart was allowed to sell Prince albums...Doesn't Parade have parental-advisory sticker on it? Or do they have clean-edit version for Walmart?

I bought my CD copy there for $5. I wasn't aware that album was dirty. I don't think it is. What's really surprising is that stores still sell Prince albums besides Purple Rain.

I just bought The Parade cd from Wal-Mart, I was actually pretty surprised. Mainly because I live in Kentucky. (You don't see his stuff alot around here.) I'm pretty sure it's a good album though. Sorry, I wanted your opinion on the album. [Edited 6/24/11 7:15am]

Listen to it and give us your opinion.

I like your question.

When I discovered the music of Prince five years ago, I just started listening every album I could manage to have. At first I downloaded everything, but at this moment I've bought every album (few exceptions).

The fun part is that I listened to an outtake version of Parade before I heard the actual album.

It's called 'Charade' (don't ask for it), but you can find it if you want to listen to it. It doesn't include Kiss and some other songs. The songs are less polished and very interesting to listen to. And it includes 'There's Others Here With Us' and 'All In My Dreams', two very nice unreleased songs. For me it was a strange experience to here the outtake album before the official one. But that's how it happened and the Parade era will always have a special place in my heart

But really, listen to Parade a few times and you'll enjoy it or at least think it's interesting.

What other albums have you listen to yet? Which others are you curious about?

I like 4 songs on this cd. Its one of the worst to me BUT it is better than

news

ONA Piano

20ten

new power soul

musicology

for you

black album

chocolate invasion

slaughterhouse

xpectation

mplssound

Dang!! after seeing it is better than all of these I guess it goes in the bottom half now and not "one of the worst" because it IS WAY better than those listed up top. I like Mountains, Anotherlover, girls and boys and I used to like Kiss(but Prince has overplayed this so much I hate it now. I did like it originally though so I will include it)

Its worth having though for those songs(especially for 6 bucks, cant beat that price)

It's one of those albums that at the time I listened to all the time but I don't really listen to now.

It is good though - shame that Love or $ wasn't included on it as love that song.

Standout for me is Girls and Boys.

"Parade" was a huge step down from "Around the world in a day". That's my opinion.

I only just heard Parade and don't like it. This is not a good track.

You've had the CD for a couple weeks now. What do you think?

Favorites? Least favorites? Overall?
