PURPLERAIN

Kiss or When Doves Cry, can't choose.

― Saskia, Saturday, 27 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

Talk about an impossible choice! Uh...an mp3 disc with most everything on it. There. ;-)

― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 27 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

This is pretty cool.

Mutiny 03.6.86 at First Avenue

― Possum Slimm, Saturday, 27 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

Of course, "Scarlet Pussy" from the B-side of "I Wish U Heaven." The long version.

Sign of the Times. Only Prince album I can really stand, and the best track on that album.

You get on my case a while back for not liking Godspeed all that much, and then you say this. You can't ever complain about my choices again, you toque-wearing back bacon-swallowing Molson-pounding hoser. ;-)

"It's Gonna Be a Beautiful Night"

― scott, Sunday, 28 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

HEY MAN, I take exception to your comments, Ned. I never drink Molson! As far as Prince goes, I really don't see the appeal for the most part. Yeah yeah, musical genius, blah blah, but it just doesn't connect with me. Perhaps it's just bad memories of Purple Rain, from school or something.

When 2R In Love

― briania, Sunday, 28 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

"Head" or "Do Me Baby". Molson's OK.

― dave q, Sunday, 28 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

"When Doves Cry" is the only one I've ever gotten into but I'm sure he has good stuff I haven't heard.

― sundar subramanian, Sunday, 28 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

Oh, I guess "1999" and the Batman song and "Thieves In the Temple" and some others are OK. "When Doves Cry" is the only one I care for in any real way though.

― sundar subramanian, Sunday, 28 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

"Delirious" always seems better when you think about it than in the actual hearing. i was gonna say that but instead it's either "Boys and Girls" or "Sign O the Times". or the entire B-side of Purple Rain, or or..... Once you pop you just can't stop!

"Just My Imagination (Live in Amsterdam 8.18.88)"--everything you love about him, and a couple things you didn't even know he did that you love, too.

― M Matos, Sunday, 28 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

Matos - I knew you'd say that! On a similar note, and acknowledging the impossibility of the task, I'm gonna go with that long ass "Baby I'm A Star" live clip they show on VH1 Classics every now and then with honorable mentions to "Housequake", "Mountains", "Erotic City", "17 Days", "Pop Life", "When You Were Mine" for best new wave/funk hybrid, "Let's Go Crazy" for best masturbatory guitar, and "Let's Pretend We're Married" and "Bob George" tying for best, um, non sequitors.

― J Blount, Sunday, 28 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

And "Adore" remains the template for nu-Soul.

― J Blount, Sunday, 28 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

Mountains at the moment.

― Andrew, Sunday, 28 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

Let's say "Kiss", to remind you he can sing a bit.

― B-Rad, Sunday, 28 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

"Just My Imagination (Live in Amsterdam 8.18.88)"

Pretty damn worthy -- only heard it for the first time recently (thanks again Jordan!) and when I realized what it was, I thought, "Ah, sweet."

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 29 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

Oh god.... happiest moment of my life: crying over MSN messenger at midnight drunk whilst sharing poetry with a girl I fancied for ages whilst listening to "Little Red Corvette".

― Dom Passantino, Monday, 29 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

"Alphabet Street" and/or "My Name is Prince (...and, thusly, I am what some might surmise as Funky)"

― Alex in NYC, Monday, 29 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

Funny, I love almost all Prince, and it's nearly impossible to pick only one...but I come back to "Condition of the Heart" a lot. It's surrounded by twaddle on a fairly poor album, but I just love the piano sound and the complex melody.

― Matt Riedl (veal), Monday, 29 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

one year passes...

"Forever in My Life" the best song off "sign o the times"; the best Prince Album.

― jed_e_3 (jed_e_3), Monday, 25 August 2003 22:50 (twenty years ago) link

There is no fucking way I can pick only one!

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 25 August 2003 23:13 (twenty years ago) link

no way to pick one, but right now i'll say "if i was your girlfriend".

― colin s barrow (colin s barrow), Monday, 25 August 2003 23:28 (twenty years ago) link

has to be When Doves Cry

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 00:32 (twenty years ago) link

I'll go a little left of centre and say 'Vicki Waiting'. It's always in my head.

(Really wanted to say 'Raspberry Beret' or 'Gett Off' or 'Pop Life' or 'Sign O' The Times' or 'I Wanna Be Your Lover' and but I've never heard Dirty Mind and keep failing to buy it and I'm basically a wack Prince fan)

― Barima (Barima), Tuesday, 26 August 2003 00:55 (twenty years ago) link

'Vicki Waiting' cracks a dick joke that Prince and the narrator (Bruce Wayne) both know isn't really funny. So it's kinda special, right?

I'm not saying this to be purposefully left-field, but I've always really, really loved "Money Don't Matter 2Night."

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 8 April 2004 13:16 (twenty years ago) link

Yes, piscesboy! I thought I was the only man in the world who RATES 'PiTS'.

Today however, I choose 'The Beautiful Ones', esp. as seen in Purple Rain.

Purple Rain.

Why do I always pick the obvious songs? Am I thick?

― Stupid (Stupid), Thursday, 8 April 2004 20:01 (twenty years ago) link

I don't like Purple Rain. The song, that is.

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Thursday, 8 April 2004 20:01 (twenty years ago) link

I can't believe I actually picked only one. FULE!

― Matos W.K. (M Matos), Thursday, 8 April 2004 20:06 (twenty years ago) link

This is a question I've been thinking about a lot lately, as I've hardly listened to anything but Prince for days. I decided that if anyone asks I will say Erotic City, but the real answer is I don't know.

― Sonny A. (Keiko), Thursday, 8 April 2004 20:15 (twenty years ago) link

Also: good work, Forksclovetofu!!

― Sonny A. (Keiko), Thursday, 8 April 2004 20:24 (twenty years ago) link

yer velcome. I'd probably go with "Erotic City" or "When Doves Cry" or "Joy in Repetition", but it's like asking oral, anal or vaginal... thank god I don't have to choose.

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Friday, 9 April 2004 04:54 (twenty years ago) link
