If you genuinely feel that way about something than no one should be able to change your mind about it. We all differ with artists and what we like, right now people love the new Janet Jackson song me personally, it’s not interesting but if you love it nothing I say should change your mind.

Speaking of which--I noticed the mention of the podcast in Doozer's signature for the first time earlier today. Has it been there for a while? Doozer, how long have you been doing this podcast? And I love the title (Mountains is the Prince song I've had on replay in my head constantly for the last two days). | |

Phase One was Josh's interpretation of Prince's music;I like a couple of songs from it but IMO PhaseII and AOA top that. "Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything." --Plato

Change my mind You’re joking, right? Purple Rain Sign o ‘ the times 1999 Will always be his top 3 BOB4theFUNK | |

I have a huge issue with anyone saying that anything Prince did was "shit." He was a true artist, and a gifted musician. His lackluster material still put to shame many artists' best material.
Phase One was an experiment. Did it work for everyone? Obviously it didn't. I personally enjoy the majority of the tracks on it. I think it flows quite nicely. Do I have issues with parts of it? Yes I do, mainly with the idea of including a "cuss word" on a track, but then editing it out which, for me, killed a pretty good song right at the end of it.
I think art is subjective, absolutely. Prince created a LOT of albums. I wouldn't put Phase One in my Top 20, let alone declare it his greatest.
I would highly suggest listening to some other Prince albums that would definitely change your mind. Start with every album from 1980 to 1988. If any of those don't change your mind, then I don't know what to tell you. |

PurpleSkipper58 said: Empress said: I completely agree! I don't love the first 4 songs, but the rest of the album is very good. Certainly not his greatest album. The OP must be a newbie. I’ve been here since...like 2015 or something Yep, definitely a newbie  RIP  | |

Are you trying to be my friend? Because you've got an interesting way of going about it. I'm ok with this, I can work with this, this is what we do. I do this. (That's an ICP reference. Get it?) Or am I wrong? Are you hurt or offended by something I said? Have I wronged you somehow? Are you upset? Do you feel trolled? As your friend, I feel obliged to inform you that if you said "yes" to any of these questions, you might be misattributing things to me which do not exist. If you don't understand what that means, how about don't sit there and tell me I'm both somehow subjective and also wrong. You can't have it both ways. So what's it going to be, chummer? I am The House. And The House says the door is open. Are you going to walk in here, fuck my shit up, and steal my properties? Ok, that's rude. We could also just chill. If I think I'm someone who thinks they're deeper than they actually are, then clearly I must dig deeper. I died once, true story. Listen... everything I've said in this thread... you must read in a voice with a friendly tone. And before you interrupted me, a youthful jubilence. You're abrasive, I'm sure you already know that. I understand I can be abrasive as well. I can understand you, I need you to understand me. If you don't understand me, we can't be friends. If we can't be friends, then you best get to stepping because you're in my way. Are you good? [Edited 8/17/18 16:46pm] Well that answers my question. Both a sad troll and stupid. You must be fun at parties. If you ever lose someone dear 2 U, never say the words "they're gone". They'll come back. | |
