Prince has Died
I just put on Sign 'O' The Times as brought up a couple posts earlier, which was not mentioned anywhere on my quick recap of some of his bests. Had completely slipped my mind...
This just demonstrates the incredible productivity Prince had, the list appears almost endless. There is so much to add to the best of list.“Life’s too short to listen to bad audio.”

Re: Prince has Died
Quite interesting list on the Star Tribune.
I obviously stopped following Prince after 1993, as basically all work thereafter was unknown to me.

Re: Prince has Died
Guys...coming to this thread late; because someone told me about the Jaw Dropping thread...and I was looking for that. But let me add my .02 here.
I am, a life-long (OK, since ~12) Prince fan. I've been to shows...I've been to after-shows(!); I have 100s of his CDs ('nuff said )
Having been a fan, for 36 years...I've often had to explain/defend, his "genius". The truth is...most of what the casual fan knows; the stuff on the radio...the stuff that got "popular". Wasn't even really, his best or most-revealing work, IMO.
That's why his shows, after-shows...and the previously-mentioned Vault; have led, to some like me...having 100s of CDs. He saved some of his best stuff...just for the fans.
As for the guitar playing; sure...most cite the HOF thing, because again. It was what a w i d e audience saw, and was aware of. I could show, and play you things...that would set your hair on fire. Players know how good he is. I've met some in my day...and they either have great respect for his playing; or if they don't...I've lent them a few things, and they come back amazed.
No one's going to hear, a 10-minute virtuoso guitar-solo...on the f*cking radio! LOLCD

Re: Prince has Died
I think it's a 4-star system. You'll notice the absence of a 5th grayed-out star beyond the 4th star on certain ratings.
I agree on all points. I'll also add that his rating of the Love Symbol album is much too low, as I think it's one of his better post-Sign albums. His remarks makes me think that he was referring to a different album by mistake. I think Controversy sometimes gets a few demerits from reviewers because it falls in between what are generally regarded as stronger albums, Dirty Mind and 1999, and suffers from the comparison.Anthony

Re: Prince has Died
That is the trouble with reviewers, they are always comparing rather than listening to the album on its own merits.
I agree re Love Symbol - superb album. Prince had a knack of taking unknown musicians and bringing them into his fold to create great music.
In fact spinning it right now The Max on side two is one of my fav Prince songs.

Re: Prince has Died
17 albums into my Prince discology and its 1995 The Gold Experience. What srikes me is not the quantity of albums he has made, but the quality. Gold is no different. For me ts is the end of his Warner Brothers record contract as the last two seemed to be going thru the motions.
His albums from here on go all over the play from brilliance to somewhat self indulgent in places but still a rewarding listen.
Legend.

Re: Prince has Died
How unthinking he was to his family.....not having (at least) a will....should have had an irrevocable trust.... Now the government will get over 50% of his wealth..in addition, the value to all of his unpublished music (could be substantial) is in addition to the +50%. The government will declare the value of that music (purely arbitrarily....a guess favorable to the tax man). Big money flushed for no reason.

Re: Prince has Died
Did anyone here know that 'good morning' is 'god morgon' in Swedish, but that you actually pronounce those two words 'gu' and 'moron'? Funny folk those Swedes. Btw, they also do have a town in southern Sweden called Trollhättan.

Re: Prince has Died
Prince HITnRUN phase one and two. After hanging out for phase one to be released on vinyl and with phase 2 being released on April 29th, I bought the CD's.
Phase two is the last of Prince's studio albums while being alive and its in the 70's soul bringing in Al Green/Sly and the family Stone aspects with Eearth Wind and Fire horns - excellent album.
Phase one was released Sept 2015 and this is a real surprise to me. This is more minimalist Prince pop with synth undertones, tight electronic drums and nice simple chorus's - I really love this album and its been playing almost non stop in the car all week - It really kicks and shows Prince could do anything.
I find it hard to believe there will be no new music from Prince while he is alive. We have a really deep catalog to enjoy. I really really hope they get someone with integrity of Susan Rogers to curate his recordings in the vault

Re: Prince has Died
My wife is a huge Prince fan and insisted we played Prince music in the background when we got married. Although his style of music is not my cup of tea I have great respect for his musical talent. RIP.

The song Undertaker (from the album The Undertaker 1993) is my favorite Prince song, 9:43 long, great guitar playing.
