Around The World In A Day era, including extended versions, b-sides & associated artists that P was producing at the time vs Graffiti Bridge era, including the same as above

give more 2 ur post so people can follow what u r talking about

"most of Princes music on GB was created with the people on ATWIAD" should be interesting

ATWIAD totally goes over my head with all the trippy psychadelic stuff. Not into that at all. Although I must admit Paisley Park will get stuck in my head from time to time. I hate the title track. PP is ok. At least it's catchy. Condition Of The Heart is stupid. I've just never liked it, probably because of the way he sings it. Raspberry is cool. Tambourine I love! It's my favorite from this album. America was always a standout to me. As big as Pop Life got I never really got into it to be honest. It's just a boring song. The Ladder and Temptation are both good songs even though I could've done without the conversation with God at the end.

Graffiti Bridge. Let's see. Can't Stop I don't like. I saw in another thread someone likened it to Play In The Sunshine. That's the better song for sure. NPG is cool. The ? Of U is definitely one of my favorites from the album, the other song being Joy In Repitition. I always liked the playfulness of Elephants. We Can Funk is ok. George Clinton is on it, so I'll listen. Don't really care for Love Machine. Tick Tick is the fuckin jam although a lot of people probably hate it? Shake is horrible. Theives was always a really good song but the extended version is a million times better and it's a shame the short version was on the album. Melody Cool was cool, even though it was Mavis Staples? Still Would Stand All Time I have to be in the mood to listen to, otherwise I'll skip it. And I never really cared for the title track. I hate that the associated artists are on this release. THAT totally kills this album for me, knowing that there's always going to be that inevitable skipping of tracks. I can't just let this album go.

Based on how many songs I like from the total number, according to this post, surprisingly it looks like ATWIAD wins that contest and I'm shocked at that cuz I talk a lot of shit about this album. But based on the overall era, what else was coming out, his image, this and thats, etc., I'd have to go with Graffiti Bridge just because I liked the timeframe which it follows (post-LoveSexy) and because I absolutely think he should've released something else, anything else right after he was the biggest motherfucker on the planet with PR.

Oh yea but I agree you should change the title of this thread edit
