Something I never did before.

In no particular order.

I forgot that some I didn't like at all; New Power Soul, Planet Earth, etc. now sound pretty darn good.

And others not so much.

Y'all?

yes but lsitening to "Dig U Better Dead" on Chaos gave me chills for obvious reason's and whilst listening to Exodus...then at the end "The Exodus Has Begun"....because of that ending "This is dedicated to his royal badness prince....rest in peace nigger"

I did just that recently. In March I re-ripped almost everything in my iTunes library -- including Prince (900 songs). I also added almost everything in my collection to discogs here. Recently I've been going through iTunes and adding different artwork and all of the lyrics to tracks.

.

Thankfully, there is archive.org where you can enter dtt-lyrics.com and click on a date from 2008 to add lyrics to nearly every song recorded through that time, whether it was an outtake, associate artist...

.

Something fun to do to take your mind off of the epic fail that is 2016.

How about Mayte saying multiple times "Prince is dead" in Spanish on tGE?

I've been going through his whole catalogue too. I ripped all the stuff I never got around to doing before and subscribed to Tidal to listen to a few albums and songs that weren't in my collection. Listening to it like this, the amount of material is almost overwhelming. It's also interesting how some songs age so much better than others.

Yep. Every single one of them.

Only insofar as I've misplaced my copy of Art Official Age - it was right here on the shelf with the best of them. I'm at a loss. Like a functioning adult misplacing his keys and crying instead of swearing and tearing the house apart.

I'm not going anywhere near HitNRun phase two. It's haunted.

Every one, in chronological order.

Up to "The Truth" right now.

.

Some random thoughts:

- Man, disc 2 of "Emancipation" is not very good.

- "" album is better than I thought. (Hated it in the past.)

- "Come" is superb. One of his top three albums. Yes, top three.

- "1999"...many of those songs go on far too long.

- "Crucial" really should have replaced "Adore" on "Sign O The Times."

- "Strays Of The World" is the worst song Prince ever recorded.

- "Cloreen Bacon Skin" is one of the greatest songs Prince ever recorded.

I have been doing the same thing and I seem to have a better appreciation for lots of songs now that I didn't like much before. I have often been very critical of Prince's new music, perhaps overly critical, and sometimes avoided playing some of the 'lesser' albums altogether. ALthough in some cases I still don't really feel the production side of some of his albums, some of the songs themselves are sounding better to me than before. I suppose a little bit of "you don't know what you got until it's gone" also comes into play here.

But right now I got stuck at the ATWIAD album. I liked it when it came out, but i didn't like it as much as Purple Rain. I was slightly disappointed about that at the time. Right now I just love the album beginning to end, I have been playing it over and over and it has definately shot up several places in my personal "Prince album Top 40".

All I can do is hope that many more 'Prince re-appreciation moments' will follow in the years to come.

Way too soon. I'll have to come back to Prince's music when the worst has passed and it can make me happy again...the way it used to.

^ those "thoughts" haha.. they are smart-ass comments sorry, not to be takes seriously from others than P-newbies...


1999 is one of Prince's best and coolest albums.. personally I love everything on it..

..... yes, I have been listening to every album from 1999 up to (including) Emancipation....

I am ejoying then all. I only skipped Arm Of Orion, and a few on Emancipation (my iTunes, I have 30 of those songs skipping 6)......

I enjoyed every album 1982-1996......... a great trip....!

last week I had Art Official Age on repeat.... great album.....

So many great songs, especially:

Clouds
Way Back Home

Started before he passed, extracting files from my CD's to my PC, to load onto a sdhc to play in my truck.

EXACT same thing I'm doing now. It's actually therapuetic. Well, that and constantly listening to the SiriusXM Prince Tribute Channel. Speaking of which, if you all haven't done so already I'd encourage you to sign that petition to keep the station going permanently. It's set to end tomorrow...

I'd say me too, but I'd want it to stick around so my 7 year old can enjoy it forever as well...

I WAS, but then the new Radiohead came out.

srsly? I can't listen to that filmic string drone malaise in this state. I don't care how many Lotus Flowers Thom Yorke pulls - I ain't in the mood!

nice to see the old database errors back

No, but I do listen to the music whenever it is on the radio or elsewhere. What's hard for me is the live stuff.
