The entire "Sly" set. PLEASE no more Everyday People, Hair, etc.
Nothing Compares 2 U should retire as well. I've gone to find myself. If I should return before I get back, keep me here. | |

i really don't think i need to hear Purple Rain live ever again
Disclaimer: sometimes he seems very inspired and then it is ok. For those times perhaps no Take Me With U. | |

It can't be said enough: the "Take Me With U"/"Raspberry Beret" medley!
Why why why does he play this on every tour?!? Did he make a deal with the devil during the 80's & one of the stipulations was that he had to play these 2 songs in concert for the rest of his life? | |

I got to jump all over this one. First of all let me say that I totally agree with your observations. Neither Prince nor WB got screwed in the deal. Prince did benefit from the marketing of the WB. Record sales prove that. I acknowledge that the music world has changed but there is just no way that some of the artist out there should out sale Prince. I would insult Prince by comparing him to some commercial artist out there who is just like McDonald's; (on every other corner trying to sell you something and trick you into believing that is actually good). But should artist like Musiq outsell Prince? With that positive point give to WB let us look at the flip side. Not withstanding the issue of ownership of the masters, WB did put the artistic handcuffs on Prince and unnecessarily also. For example look at the 'Sign of the Times', which was a trimmed down version of the intended 'Crystal Ball' album. Crystal Ball would have been beautiful. 'Adore' wasn't as meaningful to me until I heard 'Crucial'. When the world crucial is used in the song it has a deeper meaning that the other lyrics if the song 'Crucial' was included in the album. Also 'Hot Thang' becomes more that just a funky dance song if the Crystal Ball is included in the album. What does the line "Tell'em you're going to the Crystal Ball" mean to someone who has heard the song Crystal Ball? The song 'Sign of the Times' went hand in hand with Crystal Ball. Sign of the Times was a commentary on the problems and despair of the day and 'Crystal Ball was the inner struggle of the artist to have love, faith, and hope in the midst of those contemporary concerns. And please don't anyone even mention 'The Black Album'. And to add insult to injury 'Sign of the Times' lost the Grammy to a U2 album. I mean put yourself in Prince's shoes. How would you like it if you were submitting an artistic into an international competition only to have a third of your work cut out by someone trying to make the maximum amount of money off you and come in second in the competition. Well now you know how Prince felt. Taking all that in consideration I the think WB marriage lasted just as long as it was beneficial for both of them. Prince would benefit again from the attention of a strong marketing program but marketing today isn't like was in 1980's. Why pay to promote an artist who demands to get paid fairly when big record companies can get a cute bum with no talent off the street and get bigger profit margin with less stres | |

Especially when he keeps reminded the fans that if they came to get their Purple Rain on, they're in the wrong place. I really, really wish he would stop doing medlies. | |
