Unburden yourselves people. Tell me what you really think.

Don't be shy.

Let's get over this once and for all.

I like it..especially that G Funk breakdown--I dislike Larry shoutin "do u love us!" on it though---

It wasnt terrible, I enjoyed it at the moment it was released.. I dont see myself breaking it out often though.. and I also think that "do u love" crap ruined the song.. just simply messed everythannng up

oops..I meant P-Funk break down, not G Funk..lawd

Hate it.

His worst cover.

I cringe just thinking of it.

Ugh, what was the man thinking...I can deal with when he covers stuff like Stylistics, but his choices of "contemporary" songs to cover always tend to leave me more than a little cold.

It's OK til Larry shows up.

When I saw the tracklisting I was hoping he would do more of a straight cover like he did with “One Of Us”. I was looking forward to Prince doing the opening slidey guitar bits. When I heard it I was disappointed, I nearly always skip this track. Sometimes I force myself to give it another listen but it just feels soulless.

My real opinion?

It's shit.

Compare this to innovative stuff he was doing between 82-88.

It's llike he's on funk cruise control.

What was he thinking???

Naff.

I've seen some people describe it as Disco. :huh:

I think it's unnecessary, sounds tinny and just "blurg" (that Emancipation - Rave sound is just nasty).

Then it breaks down into some Larry G and Baby Brother love-in.

Yuck.

But U can't compare a cover 2 an original song!!! There's obviouvsly no contest!!!

As 4 EIAWR I dig so much that screming 3rd chorus "These R The Days WHEN ANYTHING GOES"...

It makes me blow.

I don't hate it,but it's not really one of my favorites.For the most part,Prince's remakes are mediocre at best.I didn't really care for the four remakes on 'Emancipation' either.There are only a few artists who can do a remake and make it sound better than (or as good as) the original.

Beautiful Strange would've been a better choice.

Funny you should say that I managed to get hold of an alternate version of Rave where Beautiful Strange did replace Everyday Is A Winding Road

This wimp is right, it's all about Rave In2 these days.

You really need to release some of that aggression Hobbes...


...throught the medium of dance!

I am far too muscular to move that gracefully.

Check out this link about cover versions. Maybe Prince had the right approach on this track after all...

Sadly, it's the best song on Rave.

It's ok. Not my favourite, but it's not too bad.

I like it.

i liked it at the time, now not so much...

and what the hell is that "do you love us? do you love god?" crap towards the end?!?

sheryl's original is much much better

cborgman said:

Sheryl's is better, but this version is an interesting arraingement.

I think the chorus is mixed in at too high a volume, like I'm being yelled at. But the break down is nice, and even Larry G's party chants work okay. All in all, it's the little cover that tried too hard.

Thankfuly, "Sun, Moon, Stars" is on that CD

Whoo Hoo! 2the9s did a successful thread in the P:M&M forum!



Ain't no stoppin' me now!
