In my freshman year Adore...I had a massive crush on this girl and every time I heard that song I felt like Prince had mind-melded with me and had written down exactly how I felt about this girl. Sadly it didn't last but I still think of that girl when I hear that song.

Nothing from Lovesexy really reminds me of high school but in 1989, my senior year I was all about the Batman soundtrack. I played the motherfreaking treads off that CD, even though now I look back and think it's pretty average, pretty pedestrian stuff. I thought the whole Gemini concept was pretty clever and I was going around telling everybody that Prince was hitting it with Kim Basinger.

Hmmm, I think Controversy, the album, made me into a long-life fan during my teenage years.

It wasn't my intro to Prince's music, but it was the album that really grabbed me at that time and shaped a lot of my ideologies then.

I remember hearing "Irresistible Bitch" and "Horny Toad" in high school. Purple Rain was released the summer of '84, right after I graduated from high school.

I was jammin' to a lot of old Prince then.

He was the bomb and of course still is.

well, i was in high school from 90-94...not exactly a prince high period, lol! i was really digging though...probably the record that kept me interested in prince. at the time, i was not crazy about diamonds and pearls or batman. so yeah, i guess the album that got the most play was and the song that meant the most was the sacrifice of victor.

There were sooo many. HS for me was 82-86.

I guess the standouts were Little Red Corvette, Darling Nikki, and Pop Life

Man!! How did I forget Private joy??!! I loved that whole era. Controversy, 1999, PR, Dirty Mind. Prince was blazing hot![/quote]


I'm glad to see someone else is my age. I was beginning to think I was the oldest thing in here.

ONCE AGAIN, bring back the synthesizers!

We're the baddest class alive, we're the class of 85!

Especially high school in Nebraska!

My album was "Controversy." Everything on that dern album. Maybe "Sexuality," the most, for the bit about "tourists" and the like.

Hmm, atm I'm always listening to The Black Album (Loving Rockhard), Housequake, Shockadelica, Another Lonely Christmas, Live at the BBC '93 (So happy fo the summer!!!), Rebirth of the Flesh - - but these are all my summer songs. In winter it was Empty Room alllll the time.

LOVESEXY came out at the end of my junior year, and shaped that entire
summer, and all of my senior year. I made a cassette of Wish U Heaven
looped about 10 times. That's how I fell asleep. All my friends knew and
loved Lovesexy, too.

How corny: We listened to all the remixes/b-sides, too. Glam Slam Escape
has the line "15 minutes ain't long enough 2 out yo mind...". When we sat
in Spanish class, with 15 minutes left, Conrad would say, "15 minutes..."
and I'd answer with the rest of the line.

"Don't Kiss the beast" was another one of our phrases.

And "Shockadelica" got a lot of airplay, too.

Purple Rain LP -- I almost wore a hole into that record, I was mesmerized.

Around The World In A Day -- Ditto

Parade -- Ditto

Housequake -- Got me amped before my football games.

No -- thoughts of graduation, starting college, and optimism about my future.

but the most important song?

Adore -- for the last 6 months of my senior year, I listened to it every night before I went to bed, thinking about the girl I was in love with. It's still hard to listen to it today, even tho it is my favorite Prince song.

When Doves Cry!After My Father Died In 1976 My Mom And Brother Moved To Ohio,I Stayed In Boston,Mass And Stayed On My Own,I Was 16 And This Song Stays With Me,"How Could You Leave Me Standing,Alone In A World So Cold!O+>

You know....for me it was never really about one single song. It was just about the entire vibe of the era. That was just simply an amazing time to be a fan. So fresh, so bold, so new, so visionary, so glam, so fun, so fierce.

yeah same with mine -- the entire Lovesexy vibe defined my senior year.

Lovesexy, Track 1

I was in 10th grade when it came out, and my ears were blooming.

It helped open me up to so much in music

"Somebody's Somebody" comes to mind when i was in 9th grade. I loved that song cuz at the time i had a crush on a guy and i had no boyfriend, so i could relate 2 it. I still can jam to that song now though, its really catchy....

I remember that cheer at the pep rallies! We were rivals.

We used to respond back with "You ain't nothing but a bore, you're the class of 84!" and yall would respond with "Pimples, acne, and red hives, you're the class of 85!".

I think yall had us beat!

Those were the days!

SCHOOL IS COOL
SEX IS GREAT
WE ARE the CLASS OF 88 !

I see the old school is still in effect !

Alright! I see we got a rivalry going on up in here! Like Foxy on "Get Off" everybody say "OOWA, OOWA!"
