yep it's his best after Off the Wall imo. Fuck Thriller

Now, now, Ms Booty, I wouldn't go as far as to say fuck Thriller , because it did produce some great tunes imo, but Dangerous is (to me) far superior. My fave tune is Will You Be There. It gets me every time.

my favorite childhood song! that album is so creative. Well Thriller is a solid album but it's severely overrated. I would put Bad before Thriller.

Looking at the CDs mentioned you guys can't have bought many albums

BoOTyLiCioUs said:

For the most part, I would too, because my some of the great tunes are: Liberian Girl, Bad, Man in the Mirror. Thriller has Beat It and, of course, Billie Jean going for it.

kenlacam said:

i hate billie jean I am like the only person who hates that song. I've always hated it.

Wow, you are the only person that I've heard of that strongly dislikes Billie Jean. What is it about the song that you don't like? the music, words,etc...

BoOTyLiCioUs said:

I agree. Both "Off The Wall", as well as "Dangerous",are far superior than "Thriller".

kenlacam said:

dull beat...overplayed...don't really like the music video either...really weird

Ms Booty I was checking out your profile, and I have to admit that you have really great taste in music.

Honestly, I don't see how this album was worse than 'Chaos and Disorder'. Everyone always hates this album, but I thought it was 10 times better than C&D; 'The One' alone was better than all of C&D IMO. Plus, love the hidden track on this one even though it's waaay hidden and I accidentally found it when I forgot to hit the stop button a few years ago.

Honestly, I had first heard my friend's copy and didn't like it but only bought it to complete the Prince section in my CD case which is also the only reason I haven't already gotten rid of it or the Rainbow Children or 1999 (yeah, I know, I've tried hard to like it but this album does nothing for me.). It's sad I know, but Prince albums are mad hard to find nowadays and when you do find them they are ridiculously expensive. Someone had stole my TGE and ' Hate U' maxi-single a few years ago and it took me forever to find them and when I did they were twice what I had originally paid so now none of my Prince albums leave my CD case. Have you tried secondspin.com? They usually have a nice amount of Prince albums for decent prices...that's where I got most of mine.

Just checked and secondspin.com has two copies of 'The Vault' for $6.99. They're CDs are used but they are always in good condition. I've never had a problem with anything I've gotten from them so check them out.

Man, good topic! Should be re-named most embarrassing albums you ever admit to buying! One, I can think of, is David Soul's self-titled debut album from 1976 with the song "Don't Give Up On Us Baby" (Bleh!). Another is (sigh) Sesame Street Fever at the end of the 70s... Now, that is truly embarrassing to admit...

Very appropriate for the Sesame Street 40th anniversary this week!

I have Sesame Fever...I use it sometimes, as an effect record.

it should stay that way

I bought many crap albums through the years:
Writing's On The Wall-Destiny's Child (the singles were good the album was crap)
Regulate-Warren G (2 good songs only-I gave it away)
Gansta's Paradise-Coolio (1 good song only-I gave it away too)
Happy Nation (original version)-Ace Of Base (only the singles were good-I lost it in moving)
White Room-KLF (0 good songs-even the singles were is different boring versions)
Best Of Rozalla-Rozalla (almost everything was remixed... WHY?)
some pirate Grace Jones compilation from Serbia (Pull It To... in some horrible house version and Slave To The Rhythm in an instrumental version)


I am sure none of those is the absolute worse but those are the ones that come to mind. Btw I agree that Dangerous is better than either Thriller or Bad as an album. And really now the Soul II Soul album is fantastic as is Rainbow Children and LotusFlower

omg I love this album.

shorttrini said:

Hilarious choice of Albums, Bert and Ernie with the Cookie Monster as the Bee Gees, sad David Souls album was from 76. Seriously 1976 was not a bad year, it was the year I was born.

What did they actually sing? The guy on the right has some big ass lips

FLAME by Patti LaBelle
BRUTHA by Brutha
COZIER by Jimmy Cozier
THE WAY I SEE IT by Raphael Saadiq
THE TOUR by Mary J. Blige
UNCLE SAM by Uncle Sam



*Saadiq has talent, but the Motown sound was yesteryear and to be influenced by it is one thing, but to do a carbon copy of it in these times, oh no. He would have fared better doing a cover album.

poetcorner61 said:

OH. MY. GOD!! I can't believe you posted this! I used to have this LP as a kid (I'm a year older than Sesame Street, btw). I LOVED it. Wow, talk about instant memories.

All of her albums suck.

Every R&B album since 1990

RnBAmbassador said:

Totally disagree. He took a vintage sound and put his own spin on it. Not only do I love it, but it's a very refreshing change from most of the other garbage out there.
