You like what you like, and there's nothing wrong with that. I still don't believe SOTT is Prince's best multi-album set. Big whoop. I don't feel I should either. .

medoc2003 said: i never really question why i like what i like in terms of whether it's right/wrong, weird/normal, off center/middle of the road, or what have you. i like some things that are popular, and a lot of things that aren't, and i don't let either it's popularity, or lack there of, sway my attraction to it.
Once I felt Graffiti Bridge, for example, I've never 'questioned' the quality of it and it has remained in my heart since. That said, I have wondered why I appear to be the only one and I have found it encouraging to know that there are others out there with similar beliefs...i will queston why i like something in terms of what quality in that thing attracts me. | |

Graffiti Bridge was the quentisential album to me. I loved it more than any other Prince album, and more than most other albums I had at that time. Evaluating Prince's music in the context of everything else out there, and considering his music in the scope of your own current interests and feelings are two different things. If you dig it, roll with it and enjoy it! | |

You're not weird Anj, just unique. We all have our different taste. That's part of being a Prince fan...

Anji said: ConsciousContact said: I vant to know about ya motivation. Vat is it that you relate to wit these albums?
I don't know what my motivation is, that's why I am asking y'all. Thanks for the support but I really need answers! Someone please tell me what the fuck is wrong with my taste in Prince music? I think the clues must be in the albums themselves...
And has it ever affected ya relationship wit ya mother?  relax ANji...both albums are subtle and take a while to digest. GB the movie sucked. but the soundtrack album is good. Around the WORLD is pop-rock hardly any funk stuff in the grooves (maybe TAMbourine?) but i dig it too. P still gets major props from me for not doing Purple Rain part 2. Around the world is quite a departure. no..Anji you're alright...greatness is in the eye of beholder! | |

Each album is great in it’s own way. I find the albums I like best are the ones I relate to most. The themes and lyrics and stuff.
Camille is a killer album. The Sign of the times type trax, but only the funky as hell ones. NOTE: THIS ACCOUNT IS NOW CLOSED. PLEASE CONTACT “K A M  L L E” | |
