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.

              Can we get a fucking trisco-bantz vax already? Beyond needed around here.

              Just popped into my head that Prince talked about Ed Sheeran sucking his autobiography. Yet another awesome thing. Well worth a read for any interested.

              zackster definitely one of the best albums of all time. All killer no filler. Even peak MJ albums had one or two bum tracks
