Nah I think the comments are predictable. Nothing about the threads you create are unpredictable. It's almost like expected.

My exact quote:

"Why you single me out? ahaha Purple Rain isn't my cup of tea either, but I'll take it over Thriller.

I dig "Computer Blue", "Darling Nikki" is so-so to me."

OK, we gonna have to fight. lol "Darling Nikki" is genius. But I think if it wasn't your cup of tea, you wouldn't be listening to it anyways. You need to give Thriller a chance though.

I barely listen to Purple Rain, I listen to it to get over the mainstream factor.

I like "Human Nature" and "The Lady Of My Life" that's about it.

But you called me an "arse" ahaha

Yeah we're cool, but damn. Your going to diss your boy like that?

Ease up boytyler, where I come from being called an arse would be the least of your worries, think of it as an affectionate term.

I got ya big guy. You are supplying me...catch my drift? wink

You want my real opinion? Ok.

"Thriller" is corny

"Beat It" is kinda childish. "Beat it, beat it, nobody wants to be defeated" or something like that.

"PYT" If this song would've had the intro vibe throughout the whole song, It would be my favorite MJ song.

"The Girl Is Mine" is legit.

"Baby Be Mine" Not my type.

"Billie Jean" Classic. But over played.

"Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" It's cool.

Well since you don't like "Darling Nikki" (which is weird) and like "Computer Blue", what about:

"Let's Go Crazy"

"Take Me With U"

"The Beautiful Ones"

"When Doves Cry"

"I Would Die 4 U"

"Baby I'm a Star"

"Purple Rain"

Then.

Say "Purple Rain" is corny... I'm waiting. whistling

I like "Darling Nikki". I just have to be in the mood for it. That's what I mean by "so-so".

Purple Rain a good ass album. I will never say I hate it. But like I said, it's too mainstream and I'll take it over Thriller. If I think Purple Rain is too mainstream, what do you think I think about Thriller. ahaha I have Thriller on my iPhone.

I guess we should be grateful for the level of success that Purple Rain had. Had the album and movie bombed, Prince could have just disappeared up his own arse and lost it completely.....I mean...imagine that.

Right. I can't even imagining Prince NOT doing Purple Rain. It was almost fate. I mean had he not done it... there's a PRETTY good chance ANY of us would be on this board now.

Indeed, we would all be knocking around on MJ fansites saying "remember that Prince dude?"

lol

Actually no, I wouldn't.

Yo, stop giving this instigator the time of day. I thought Tyler Hippie was kind of interesting , but not anymore, he's getting trite and ingratiating. All this hipster talk about what's mainstream. Save yourselves. I am not trying to be mean here, even though I did call T.H. some names, but really though, calm down with these threads that rile up Prince fans like you are an authority on music (only 3 years worth of authority). I have recently got into Prince after I could find that sexy bitch's music online FINALLY (after 3 years of searching for it), and even eye know not to put my personal preference at the forefront of other more experience people's preferences. Yes, I don't like Purple Rain that much more than Thriller because I LOOOVE MJ and have as far back as I can remember, but I still love Prince and respect the more experienced fanbase enough not to make a thread to diss their main-man's Magnus Opus. Purple Rain is great and its mainstream appeal adds to its greatness, does not take away from it. NOW, I just had to say that.
