Your Prince Room 101

Here's a little game for you. Do you know what Room 101 is? It comes from 1984 by George Orwell, and there is a UK BBC TV show named after it.

Basically you list 5 things that really don't like, and would like to see banished for all eternity - Prince related smile

It can be anything, songs, albums, incidents, outfits, hair-styles, band members - anything!

I'll go first:

1. Poom Poom - I think this is possibly Prince's most lazy and stagnant song, I really have no love for it at all, and would like to see it banished FOREVER!

2. Drum programming on Emancipation - This album could have been so much better with Kirk J's horrid work here.

3. Take Me With You/Raspberry Beret Live Medley - Wow, I never need to hear that ever again! With such a huge back catalogue he could have easily retired this medley sooner and chose other crowd pleasers.

4. The SLAVE scrawl - This did his public image more harm than the name change, and gave the image of Prince as a total spoilt brat who has lost touch with all but a strand of reality.

5. Da, Da, Da - Shudder.


And... Don't get on a positivity trip, it's just for fun! wink

1-No Larry

2-Put Prince in a time capsule and revamp most of the crap he put out as prince in the supposed name of freedom. Turns out he was never really free during that time.

3-Banish the thought control and free your mind (and your mouth) once again.

4-I agree, Kirky J had way too much input during the prince years. Replace that shit with real drumming or at least program the drums yourself as we know your capabilities surpass those that we passed off on our poor ears.

5-Seek out and Release real collaborations with artists that can tear shit up just as hard as you can. The collaborations and covers were mere shadows of what could have been...
