Burn Posted July 17 Author Posted July 17 (edited) I couldn't believe ATRL doesn't have a thread to discuss the most brilliant musician we've ever seen so thought it's about time he had a base thread! What are everyone's favourite Prince albums and songs? My fave albums are Sign 'O' The Times, 1999, Purple Rain, Lovesexy, Diamonds And Pearls, Love Symbol Album, Prince, The Gold Experience. So many. A brilliant discography. What do yall want the estate to release next? I want the Camille album desperately. Yes ik the songs are all out across different releases but I want the album the way it was intended with the original mixes. Edited July 17 by Burn 3
Virgos Groove Posted July 17 Posted July 17 I've been getting into his 80s work lately, as well as some of his 90s stuff. This court is now in session Would the defendant please rise? 1
skwonderfactory Posted July 17 Posted July 17 There wasn't a base thread before? Geez, what a shame! Anyway, such a legend, icon, humanitarian, etc etc.. From my hometown and my mom went to high school with him 2

I've seen some fans saying they think we'll get a Purple Rain SDE this year but that's looking unlikely atp. I've read that Parade and Love Symbol Album SDEs have already been prepared so hopefully they see the light of day. There's so many possibilities. A double set for Lovesexy/The Black Album would be fantastic.

I don't expect any new releases this year due to all the legal issues between the heirs and estate. The Parade & Love symbol albums were put together by the previous management so they're unlikely to be released as they were. I'd be satisfied with what's already been released re-released on streaming like Vanity 6, Jill Jones, the 90s maxi singles and the NPG albums but alas 1
poki Posted July 18 Posted July 18 Wanted to dive into Prince's music before so I think I finally will 1
Burn Posted July 26 Author Posted July 26 (edited) Chii 2024 was supposed to be all about Purple Rain. Not them making us wait a whole damn year extra. Who celebrates a 41 year anniversary. Edited July 26 by Burn
sweetblindness Posted July 29 Posted July 29 I've been working my way through his discography over the past few months (albeit very slowly) and am really enjoying it. I'm only up to Chaos and Disorder right now because I'm trying to take my time with each album and read up on the historical context of each. I always heard his hits growing up but I am amazed at just how insane and uncompromising of an artist he was. I think the word is thrown around a little loosely in music circles but "genius" really does apply to Prince IMO. I think my favorite album of his right now is Lovesexy. I love the maximalism and pure funk of it, and the context behind it following up the darkness of The Black Album is also super interesting too. Anna Stesia, Lovesexy, and Positivity are some of my favorite Prince tracks so far. 1

Graves Posted August 25 Posted August 25 Lovesexy is indeed amazing, coming after Parade and Sign... he was unstoppable in the 80s lol. I think the last-minute pulling of The Black Album and the bootlegging scene gave that album a huge reputation, a lot of it at the expense of Lovesexy, but time has been a lot kinder to Love imo.

I think what makes his 80s albums even more amazing is that they're all so different from each other. I wasn't alive then lol but from what I've read after Purple Rain the GP were expecting Purple Rain 2.0 from the next album and were disappointed when it wasn't. But I'm so glad ATWIAD was completely different. And then he completely switched it up again for Parade. The versatility.
Burn Posted November 5 Author Posted November 5 (edited) Sad news. Tyka has passed away. She was the last surviving member of their family after their parents and Prince passed away. The end of an era. They're all back together now. Edited November 5 by Burn
