PR should be in the top 10 I believe. Though my musical taste has changed since then (Linkin Park, Tool, Eminem - btw.. Eminem is the ONLY "rapper" that has any distinction these days), that album (PR) is still great to listen to. BTW I am 37 years old. Too bad Prince has not been able or willing (maybe) to release a great commercial album in the last 8 or 9 years. I bought "One night Alone", as I have bought EVERY other album by Prince, just hoping that one of them would catch on with the masses - showing my friends that I defend him to that, "yeah he is still a musical genius" but again just us diehard fans (do you buy into this "fam" thing?) buy them. At 45 he seems kind of lost, doing the Jehovah’s (hope I spelled that right) witness thing - going door to door, as I have heard in the gossip columns - isn’t going to get him any new fans, lord knows I try to get rid of those folks as fast as I can (granted If I am dumb enough to open the door in the first place). I just wish he would get back to his music, in the pure wonderful way that he did 10+ years ago, not worrying about offending someone or God by writing about sex or anything else. (The Christ?, cum on..). If there is a God, then Prince needs to realize that he gave him a gift to say what he really thinks or feels and to not try to hard to figure out which so called religion God speaks for. I believe that if you give life your all and are good to people and work hard, using you’re "God" given talents (like music, and saying what you really feel, including sex etc.) then it’s ok. I was a much bigger fan and supporter when his music was not so "clean". I am willing to bet that most of you folks who read this were too. As Prince said, "Why is age more than a number, when it comes to love" so should he say, "why do I want to alienate my devoted fans the older I get" Why? Dunno, but I WILL continue to listen, buy and support no matter what my friends say. -- Just hoping that old spirit and sense of daring comes back...
1958 - Good year? Michael Jackson & Madonna are the same age as Prince... Jackson is just an Asshole who has little talent except dancing, who completely lost touch with life and if the allegations are true is the sickest kind of criminal. Madonna seems to get it, she keep evolving her music (though not a big fan here, but there are some gems), BUT I respect her, she has grown up, but still knows how to keep her fans happy. Her music has changed as has Prince's, but she still manages to be compelling, intriguing and hip enough to keep her fan base, as well as a whole new generation of fans. And no, I don't want to see Prince kiss Clay Aiken.. he he

Anyway, Enuf ranting, PR is great as are all of his works until the Gold Experience.

Since then he has released his work haphazardly with no promotion, and that is a pity.

Sincerely, Wishing Prince would "come into the light" "There is peace and serenity in the light"
