Its just slightly insulting that you think all of the people who are disagreeing with you don't "get it". I think we get it. I know I get it. I get every angle you're trying to spin it from. We just don't agree, and we aren't going to. You did phrase it as a question, and we answered. No. No on every point.

Also, I'm as stubborn and hard headed as they come, but there reaches a point in any discussion/debate/argument where even I will stop and process what is being said if the majority (or, ya know, everyone!) is disagreeing with me (unless its discussing Arms of Orion, that song is shit lol ). There was a lot of imformation from provided for you from people who lived through Prince before, during and after the Purple Rain phenomenon. Most of it, at least the last couple pages that I've been following, was supplied in a very conversational manner, without belittling or insulting your opinion. So maybe its time that you actually take all this information in, consider what everyone is saying and listen to the album with all these thoughts in mind. Its very likely, judging by this thread, that its not going to change your opinion. But I'm quite sure you've hit a wall in your attempt to get people to agree with it.

If it's a wall, it is a brick wall. lol I totally got what he was saying but like you said, we just don't agree with it. lol

Well, I guess the thread ends here then aha

I don't buy into this "too mainstream" business. Just listen to The beautiful ones and darling nikki full blast and tell me that it isn't perfection and gives your ears unbelievable pleasures!

Being a grown-up with shit to do, I didn't bother reading the rest of this thread.

But 25 years in, I will tell you that I won't listen to anything after Purple Rain. He's had great moments since. But for a scene, Purple Rain was cooler than anybody since Elvis.
