80% of Prince music from the 80's was highly crappy.

You can play every instrument, but you can only make great music 20% of the time

I can't name one bad `80s Prince penned or produced song, as a solo act, for others, released or unreleased.

Love Secret Lovers! Not their best but I love the drama of it all. Was Teena Marie's Portuguese Love in the 80s? That shit's awful. Yes, I said awful. I know she's well loved here.

Everything off Parade except for Kiss

The whole LoveSexy Lp except for Glam Slam
Most of the Controversy LP

Don't agree. Can't believe what you said about Parade.

That's why his name is KingKrazy.

minus the midget and spatula

the extended version of 'get it' is the shit

KingKrazy said:

Controversy was the first ever mixbag for Prince. I can't hate on you on that opinion.

I think half of The Black Album was a mistake myself!

VoicesCarry said:

Are you kidding??? Heal The World, Earth Song, & Childhood are FAR worse than that (and anything else that Michael Jackson releases that sounds too much like We Are The World pt. 5, 6, 7, etc.)!

OK wait a sec, you just reminded me that I can't listen to "Dead On It".

Ghostbuster -- Ray Parker Jr.

THIS song ruined the career of Ray Parker Jr.

I JUST REMINDED YOU

KingKrazy said:

Damn!

CinisterCee said:

you gotta use the Cam'ron one, when he was on Bill O'reilly, and was like HAHAHAHA BILL YOU MAD, YOU MAD

KingKrazy said:

hahahahah

TonyVanDam said:

Yeah, he made some shit, but Man In The Mirror I feel is the SCHMALTZ PROTOTYPE he uses over and over again. And regardless of the other songs' existence, MITM is still some of the most forced crap he ever made.

Billy Ocean - Every song except Caribbean Queen, Love Zone, and Mystery Lady

bobsteezy said:

Ouch!

CinisterCee said:

Billy Ocean = male Shitney?

bobsteezy said:

Are YOU kidding??? Loverboy was THE best song in Billy's career. Even the sci-fi looking video is classic!


Synths Rules!!!

Let me second the love for "Loverboy"! lol I loved me some Billy Ocean back in the day...I like his voice. I love "Portuguese Love" by Teena Marie, too.

I nominate the one and only Phil Collins and Su-su-sudio! Oh-ohhh! The song always sounded like a broke and homely version of 1999 to me, something about the keyboards. (And then he came out with that "I Wish It Would Rain" song that reminded me of "Purple Rain"...but I think this one came out in the early 90s).

I have so many I could nominate but they are no-brainers. A "Good 80s Songs" thread might be more challenging lol

Billy Ocean needs to get beat down for "Get Into My Car" What was he thinking? And I think this song was made in the 80's. Michael Jackson and Eddie Murphy's song "Whazzup Wit U" It makes you want to get even.

Ya know, I just looked at the title of this thread again...I guess Phil Collins doesn't really qualify as R&B, huh? Opps. (well, hey gave me an excuse to release my disdain for Phil Collins at least)

Let me nominate another one then....how about "Keep It Confidential" by Nona Hendryx. Now I've always liked Nona, but not that song. Could not stand it. And anything by Expose...not sure if they'd be considered R&B but they seemed to get a lot of play on BET back in the day.
