I love purple rain and this song

 

[Leo]

in full early-90s music video excess, five minutes before the song even starts

version hates Prince so this is quite a strange set-up for a thread.

Was Prince actually a bit shit?

I've always liked the odd tune, but I've never gotten into a full album and the way some people talk about him left me expecting a lot more. I like songs like Sign O' the Times, Head, Erotic City, Partyman and Black Sweat, but Purple Rain and a bunch of the other stuff is just awful.

you need to pay attention, he just recently turned around on prince.

that was insincere. he's real visceral response is suspicion and loathing.

 

[linebaugh]

version says Im his best friend and I know him better than you

 

[luka]

that's funny cos he said to me i'm his best friend and no one understands like i do

that's funny because he was recently telling me about his plan to tell both @luka and @linebaugh they were his best friends then take a break from the forum and watch the drama unfold.

interesting picks @version, none of those would be in my top 10 prince songs. i havne't heard that i would never take the place one before. most of the way through it sounds exactly like a pub rock band, or thin lizzy or something

i wanna be your lover is either my favourite or second favourite depending on mood. it was playing in the pub when i decided he was an autistic.

It isn't, but it makes sense.

There's something really thin and hollow about him. Everything seems to be in the foreground too. It's all happening on a single plane and right in front of you. Think we talked about the similarities to grime and The Neptunes before. Weird, cheap sounds. Plastic.

Similar sort of feel to Richard D. James Album.
