Q Magazine - Prince Buyers Guide

Don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but the new issue of Q magazine has a two page 'buyers guide' to Prince's albums (they have this feature on a different artist each month).

The are categorised roughly as follows:

Essential:
- SOTT
- Purple Rain

(no surpise there)

Excellent:
- Parade
- ATWIAD
- Diamonds & Pearls

Good:
- 1999 ('overrated' !)
- Prince
- Controversy

Approach with caution:
- Lovesexy ('rushed' !)
- The Black Album
- Symbol
- Batman

For collectors only:
- Come

Essential Compilation:
- The Hits / The B-Sides

No mention at all of Gold Experience, Crystal Ball, Emancipation, Rave, TRC.

Hmm. Didn't expect miracles from Q Magazine, but rating D&P over 1999 & Lovesexy???

I saw this.
Did you read that shit about 'Anna Stesia' being 'so-so'.
I lost interest in the article at that point.
"London, i've adopted a name that has no pronounciation.... is that cool with you?"

"YEAH!!!"

"Yeah, well then fuck those other fools!"

Putting both 'Around The World In A Day' and 'Diamonds & Pearls' in the 'excellent' category is a strange choice. Also, I'm surprised that both 'Prince' and 'Controversy' were classed in 'good' as opposed to 'for collectors only.'

An opinion is like an asshole. Everyone has one. Even Q Magazine, whatever that is.

Q should stick to what they do best; write funny comments
to go with their pictures.

Beyond that, Q has turned into a shadow of it's former self
since about halfway thru the 90's.
and true love lives on lollipops and crisps
