20Ten

I was never bothered about it but over the last couple of years I have grown to love it.

I love Sticky Like Glue.

The Truth.

Newpowersoul

.

Hated it at first, save for Wasted Kisses.

.

Now I really appreciate a number of tracks - Mad Sex, Come On, Sho-bed-ooh, When u love Somebody, The One, Until U're in my arms again.

.

Don't get me wrong, it's not up there with 1999 & SOTT however I enjoy the grooves.

Same for me.

Art Official Age...and not because of his death. I discovered it after his death. At first, it didn't register with me (the spoken word parts threw me off) . Then I started liking it a great deal after a couple listens.

Same for me, but it was Spotify that got me to listen.

The roll out of the album, singles and performances (SNL) never got me to listen.

"Time" is currently my favorite

Maybe Alan Leeds was partly right when he criticized P's live SNL performance. He was way way too hard on him in my opinion. But he got one thing right...Prince tried to put too much into one performance. He should have just played too whole songs from Art Official Age. (But P was trying to promote two albums at the same time> in his defense.)

I think after his death a lot of stuff sounds better. I dont mean in a romantic nostalgic way, I mean its almost as if you can sit back and just digest it.

I know that sounds like I wanted Prince dead, if anything I cant get over it. However in terms of his music for the first time since I first heard him in 1984 I feel like I am coming up for air and can see the whole. Almost how he appreciatwed it when he was doing it.

Lotus Flow3r

I dont know what I was thinking when I first heard it but at the time I think I even thought Mplsound was 'better' now I hardly listen to that album.

Lotus is great all by itself...its like a bliss of guitar work and free thoughts without him being bothered by outside influences. Even weird tracks like 77 Bev Park, Wall Of Berlin and Back To The Lotus just work!

hit n run phase 1.

hated it upon first listen, listened to it for 2 straight days last week.

happens all the time...

Controversy...

wasnt that impressed when it first came out...now i listen to it at least once a week...

The Gold Experience is also a little better than i remember it... mainly because of "Shy" and "Shhh"

I think it was what it was. I think PRINCE really did not care much on the "Promotion" tip, that was what labels get paid to do, he was more into it for the performance value of things. I think he really wanted to showcase 3RD EYE GIRL more than his record, which I would agree with too, as a live unit that was one of his best lineups, simple and direct. Took me back to Michael B and Sonny T days, but to me even better. I think PRINCE no matter what was still operating with the feeling that, I am PRINCE if you dig this cool if not then cool too, he was not taking on new fans.

AOA...now when I listen i feel he meant it to be his last ...

The Gold Experience. I thought it was great when it came out, but it hasn't aged well.

Everybody gets three years....*sing it* lol

Probably Rainbow Children. I fucking hated it the first time I heard it but once I stripped out the narration and a couple of clunky songs it grew on me.

Plant earth I love chelsea rogers funky
