zackster Mad buzzer and shows a really kind side to his character too. A genuine artist in the same bracket as Bowie. Theyre in short supply these days.

      he is one of the only people that comes to mind when I think of someone like Prince, for sure.

        coming up with the 5 best prince records is pretty impossible. i’m a big fan of his early stuff, so i’ll lean that way, in no particular order.

        1. pop life
        2. i feel for you
        3. why you wanna treat me so bad?
        4. when you were mine
        5. i wanna be your lover

        honorable mentions to uptown, controversy, and i would die for you. the volume and quality of his output was nothing short of incredible.

          303abuser might have been lockdown getting to me, but one of our few indoor gettogethers last summer was for the 4th of July. We ended up watching it and having a total blast.

              zackster amazing album. Couldn’t he play some stupid amount of instruments too? Just picked them up, got the basics and then proceeded to jam like he had played it all his life. A major talent.

                  Can’t have a Prince thread without the Charlie Murphy story

                  Purple Rain
                  Sign of the Times
                  Dirty Mind
                  Parade
                  1999

                  The Beautiful ones
                  Erotic City
                  Controvery
                  Pop Life
                  Sign of the Times

                  Millsy yeah he played like sax, keys, drums, guitar and probably more shit too. I think it’s super respectable that he was such a beast guitar player, yet rarely featured massive solos on his albums. Like, compare that to someone like Eddie Van Halen, who I also love, but he quickly turned all of their output into “listen to me jam”.

                    zackster i haven’t seen it in at least 20 years, but i don’t remember enjoying it. maybe i’ll give it another go when i’m bored.

                      add 17 days to the list, that’s a great track too.

                      edit: the piano in this version …

                      A top 5 singles list is ridiculously difficult to compile. When you are omitting tracks like Purple Rain, Little Red Corvette and When Doves Cry, you know you have got a problem

                        Difficult to nail down, but probably my fav Prince track.
