Lovesexy has always been loved by me. I didn't get to that album until I was in highschool around 2010. I can understand the mixed bag reaction for those who experienced it in real time. IMO it works as a singular experience and should be listened to as a whole. Individually the tracks are strong but I wouldn't have minded a couple more Black Album tracks (Superfunky, Rockhard/LeGrind) to be thrown in there to shake shit up.

It's a fantastic record, but not his last and honestly I think we can retire the '79-88 golden years agenda. He made great records post-Lovesexy. While his consistency wavered - especially in the 90's - he was still an ever changing artist and I just don't see the point in harping on this point.

Again, I was not there to experience his 80's/90's heyday, the only real time Prince fandom that I was old enough to be immersed in was the mid-late 2000's. I just saw each project as another piece to the puzzle.

It's not a misuse really. Unless you're here under a new name, but were here previously, you've only been here for a short time. You consider everything after the 80's "abysmal," which would make many wonder why you're here at all. Then you sorta cast a line out in a thread like this one, and while people comment about how much they love this or that, you consider it trash if it was after his so-called "Golden Era."

So, don't get bent if people question your intentions. You clearly aren't here to have a dialogue about Prince, the musician as a whole, if you've discarded everything he did post-Sign o' the Times as subpar and not worth the time. With that already out in the ether, why would you want to know what people think of post-SOTT stuff when you've already made it clear what YOU think of post-SOTT stuff?

Smells a little troll-like to the people that have been here a bit.

Everything did suck after the 80s. Get over it. Also so what if I've been here for a short amount of time lol. Get over it [Edited 1/29/21 12:16pm]

Oh, I was never under it. I'm not the one people are calling a troll. I was just explaining why someone would call you a troll. How long you've been around contributes to being called a troll. If you display troll-like tendencies, as you're doing on this thread, it's just a natural deduction that one would just assume you are a troll.

Princes heyday wasn't the 90s. It was the 80s and second of all his best stuff will always be that 80-87 period.
