HUH?!?
sheesh. 
ANYway  - yeah, big pet peeve.That's hilarious. You can't always get what you want... | |

How about the "Kids With Guns" on "Dirty Harry"? [Edited 9/30/05 9:18am] Feel free to join in the Prince Album Poll 2018!

I don't know any of the songs on Let's Dance apart from the singles
since I never bothered to buy the album (as everyone said it was an utter crap album). I did own "Black tie White noise" for a while, until someone threw it out of a speeding car on a Luxemburg motorway (more about that on a later date), and I do remember that "Jump They Say" was and still is one of my fave songs of all time. There is something about it that makes me turn evil, completely evil inside.  and true love lives on lollipops and crisps | |

Deviant superpowers. it makes me grin inside n want to kill entire continents with a snap of my atomic fingers it makes me feel like theres gasoline running through my veins and i could get away with pretty much anything at all.  and true love lives on lollipops and crisps | |

BTWN, easily. the great, big, poppy songs from Let's Dance are better by far, but overall, BTWN is the better album. "I don't need your forgiveness, cos I've been saved by Jesus, so fuck you." | |

Let's Dance. There are three sides to every story. My side, your side, and the truth. And no one is lying. Memories shared serve each one differently | |

I don't think any song from Let's Dance is as good as Jump They Say or The Wedding Song. | |

Anxiety said: I could have Let's Dance fatigue, cuz I just don't get that excited about any of those songs anymore. They're like his "Material Girl" and "Like a Virgin" - as played out as you can get. | |

It could be burnout, because I think it's a sterling album, regardless of its status as the album that sold Bowie's soul. Recently, I "rediscovered" the song 'Criminal World' - never really was that crazy about it before, but there's something about it that pushes some kind of nostalgia button (or SOMEthing) in me - just the general sound of that song makes me very happy. | |

That's definitely a keeper. The best of the non-singles. | |
