I think we're getting to the point where folks are competing with each other about who can say the craziest thing.

I think the minute someone says, "I prefer Apollonia's vocals/persona over Vanity's", we'll officially be there

I just saw D'Angelo play tonight in DC. He and his band SLAUGHTER anything Prince could dream of doing these days. He makes Prince look like a flaccid old chump.

I hope so. He is half Prince's age and should have more energy and drive to be the best he can be. Prince is Prince. He laid the blueprint for D'Angelo. D is super talented and he is at a point in his career to show that he can be a legend Prince is already there. I love D'Angelo and Prince I hope D keeps killing it.

Wish he'd play more piano than the guitar his shows.

Wish he'd write more instrumental songs.

COME is better than a lot of his other acclaimed albums.

I 100% agree with all this. I listen to NEWS more than some of his 80's stuff. His command of instruments is unreal. I would love a piano only album from him that would be dope.

If Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic came out now, people would go crazy for it, call it a return to form, and praise Prince's ability to write great melodies again. Prince has some amazing gems in the vault, but not dozens and dozens of albums' worth of quality material. He probably has about 4-6 albums' worth of truly great unreleased songs. The rest (that we've heard) is filler or not nearly as good as the stuff he has released. I bought the two Prince comic books as a joke but ended up enjoying them. I never listen to bootlegs of the Purple Rain tour because I find them boring and stiff compared to his other 80's tours. I don't get all the fuss over The Gold Experience. It's very good, but people here worship it. Not me. I wish Prince would stop talking to the media again.

Do you think Rave is better than AOA? I'd definitely rate AOA higher

I think the Lovesexy live show was showbiz over-the-top glitzy rubbish.

After Prince, MJ is my next favorite artist so I wish he'd done the Bad duet.

I kinda wish he stuck to his guns and released The Black Album in '88 instead of Lovesexy.

Black Sweat is awesome and should've been the first single instead of Te Amo.

Call My Name is one of his best ballads, especially lyrically.

I really like Prince's rapping

Exactly! 18 and Over, Acknowledge Me, Now, U Know (kinda rapping), Days O' Wild, Face Down, etc. I like his hip hop influenced songs and I don't even mind Tony M. I thought Gangsta Glam was pretty good.

I love AOA, but I like Rave more. There, I said it. I'll show myself out.

I absolutely adore the movie and album Graffiti Bridge

I also prefer the GB version of Tick Tick Bang to the 1982 version

I also think Parade is kinda overated too

i think 'For You' is P's best album

dodger said:

I can't judge. I'd take the Game-boyz over Wendy & Lisa

I would much rather listen to Kamasutra than The Truth album.

Housequake was better than the Org

And Latoya's version of Private Joy is better than Prince's

Seriously. I don't totally agree with RJ, but it IS a good album and it had everything that made the boy "Prince" already in it. He just needed to develop it. [Edited 6/26/15 13:33pm]

i may be using a little hyperbole by saying his "best", but its EASILY my favorite, and most played...

In my 11+ years on the org, I've never seen anyone say For You is Prince's best album.
