"We March" from TGE (My favorite album of the '90s)

amen to that.

double co-sign!

Mine is "Papa" on COME.
I think it,along with 'Race',may have been reasons why the album didnt do so well (that & the name change)

I mean,ur wanting a hot record,u turn the cover over,& among 'Come,Space,Letitgo,u have 'Papa'.

I remember when i first discovered P in 1999 & was buying all the albums,i waited til i found it really cheap.

Same day tho i found Gold Experience & Emancipation,& Lenny's "5", & it was a very very goooood day!
(Endorphinemachine,319,Now & Shhh blew my head off)

Prince: Still Waiting
1999: Something In The Water

Sign O The Times: Play In The Sunshine + Hot Thing
The Truth: Animal Kingdom
The Rainbow Children: Deconstruction [if you'd even call that a song]
3121: Satisfied
Lotusflow3r: 77 Beverly Park

I've never heard anyone dislike Something in the Water. Most people think it's the album's masterpiece.

One word: HEADPHONES

'When2RInLove' - BlackAlbum (this LP should have been kept as a str8 up dirty funk record.When im listening to Lovesexy,i let it go.When im listening to Black,i skip it everytime!

'Push' - D&P (really dont like it,never have.I will take Jughead Archie AND Mr Wetherby over this turd.

We March' - Gold Exp' (Yep,gimme D.O.W. n' throw ya wildsign high y'all!)

& as posted earlier,
'Papa' - Come ('Acknonwledge Me' woulda been sweet,or the original version of Come (there is a great 3disc bootleg called The Dawn,with all these era tracks mixed in & i tell ya,if i could find that,well,THAT would be my favourite album.Configuration is PERFECT!

"RightTheWrong" - Chaos & Disorder
meh,its okay,& i dont like DigUBetterDead either,but if i had 2 choose....

Batman - ArmsOfOrion
barf


.......
hmmm if i think of more i'll post.

Well?

For me, I LOVE listening to LoveSexy, but I am dumbfounded by CAT's rap on alphabet street.

It just doesn't fit the song, and the entire last half othe album version gets on my last nerve.

I also think "LOVE" from 3121 is an awful tune. I was stunned so many people considered

the 'obvious single' for the album, because I love the album, minus that one song.

I'm not crazy about "Get on the Boat", but it fit the album. "Love" simply feels out of place

to me.

OMG Lovesexy Positivity I Wish U Heaven When 2 R in Love?? seriously

so Alphabet St is WORSE choice because you don't like Cat's rap?

I think the rap fits, I still don't know what Alphabet St is ... so it all works for me

wedding feast. i loved the music on his album: rainbow children, but that 'wedding feast' song just.. it simply, imo, didn't fit right in. kind of refreshing in a way, like a squirt in the eye from a drinking fountain, however, that song.

Agreed! Also one of my favourites of the 90's. Would have been perfect, had he not replaced Days of Wild with We March. Wasn't it in response to a reviewer saying that Days of Wild was a poor attempt at gangsta rap?

From what I've known, We March replaced Interactive at the last minute.

Huh? Anotherlover is one of my favourites ever. Did you listen to the 12"?

And "Forever in my life" is beautiful!

And "take me with you"??? Damn... lol

All are good songs. I would only agree with The Ladder, which is a good song, but just isn't a great song. She's Always In My Hair, and Old Friends 4 Sale(Original) would've been great replacements.

Oh damn, the Cat rap is the best part of the song to me. It sounded wild and crazy at the time. And I couldn't believe he faded the song before that part on the single. It would have risen higher if he had left it in back in '88.

Love just has a bit of a generic Madonna feel to it, like he was trying to get into Madonna territory. I think its a good song that could have used more work on the production to make it unique.

My vote would be... hmmm.... can't think

I wouldn't call it a "great" album but "20 Ten" is definitely one of the better Prince albums of the 2000s. All of it except that rediculous sellout shit hop disgrace of a track "Laydown". He sounds like a queen out in a prison yard trying to impress and work the rough trade.

Now hold on, he would make it out to the yard?

Somebody needs to composite him into the intro prison walk in scene in 1983's "Bad Boys" with Sean Penn.

:falloff:

I think "It" deserves a nod here. "Annie Christian" is kind of interesting but not for an album with only 8 songs. Same with "Ronnie." I think 1999 should've had "Purple Music" instead of "All The Critics," too.

"200 Balloons" instead of "Lemon Crush."

Ironically, "The Flow," is one of the main perpetrators in killing the flow of the Symbol album. I'd almost rather listen to "Jughead." "Incense And Candles" is pretty wack, too.
