Love for Prince

Hi there, did not know if there was a thread on here for The Artist (formerly)
Prince. He is the best ever, no one does what he does as far as instruments, song writing, performing, musicality, fantastic-ness. I am posting this link to a performance from the NAACP Image Awards 2005, because apparently, Prince removes all of his videos from Youtube, he has issues with all of that. Good for him, I don't blame him, but regardless, that sucks for us looking for his concerts, videos..BUT!..

enjoy this, from 2005, great, great performance- Housequake? yes!!!!

    Prince is a damned genius, he's fucking nuts but he's still a genius. Dirty Mind saved me from screwing up my musical taste badly at an early age and I started fooling around when Purple Rain came out. It was the Zep IV of my teenage years.

    Re: Love for Prince

    I've been a Prince fan pretty much all my life. I became aware of his music by way of an older cousin and my second oldest brother. I can remember listening to the entire " Purple Rain " album ( on vinyl ) at seven years of age in 1984. My brother owned the album along with one of the coolest things I can remember as a kid, a light purple 45 LP " When Doves Cry " single. I had the pleasure of listening to all of the classic albums of Prince's best period 1982-1987," 1999 " through " Sign O' The Times" when they were released. I just recently finished reading " Prince: Inside The Man and Masks " by Ronin Ro. I was more sympathetic about his battle with Warner Brothers prior to reading the book. Prince was very demanding and not an easy artist to work with. Although his music was consistently great from " Dirty Mind " through " Diamonds and Pearls " I do tend to agree with Warner Brothers opinion that he was oversaturating the market by releasing albums too soon during that period. Albums were released within twelve months on some occasions sooner.

    Purple Rain is by far the most popular Prince album but I actually like 1999, Parade and Sign O' The Times more. Just yesterday I picked up another book about Prince from the library entitled " Prince: Chaos, Disorder, and Revolution " written by Jason Draper and will start reading it shortly. I really haven't cared for much of Prince's material post the Love Symbol album. " Musicology " and " Lotus Flower " are okay but I only like a track here or there off of some of the other albums of the last 15 or so years. Prince is one of my all-time favorite artist in music but I think he kind of lost his way and became distracted by contract squabbles and the pressures of trying to remain a top seller by adopting more of the R & B sounds of the day during the mid-90's and incorporating rap, ( Please Prince, never rap again! ) he became more of a follower and less of a leader. His music started to lose it's edge and uniqueness and no, I don't blame it on any of his spiritual conversions.

    I will always be a fan and I can never shake the shame of seeing " Under The Cherry Moon " in the theater when it was released in 1986.

    Love me some Prince... I hated his music for the longest time until I caught a live show on VH1 back around the time the Gold Experience album came out. Unreal.

    I don't even care so much about the song at the moment, just that something is happening in the Prince camp.
