and "Mountains" is probably my favorite Prince song, so yeah.

Please.

We've had this discussion. I said it's *my* favorite. Not up for debate.

Back again for the first time.

"Hey, you! Get out on this dance floor."

The best part of Mountains is the second part. It's an awesome record for sure - #7 out of 100 on the List.

fuck you.

we'll never agree on "It" and "Housequake" though. ( I don't dislike "HQ" I just got sick of hearing it, so now I skip it).


I'd be hard pressed to vote against it in a 'best' conversation. I just like "Parade" more. It's a soundtrack album for all the teenage shit I was going through at the time, etc.


Artistically speaking SOTT is probably his best work. Many of my top 25 Prince faves are on it. But yeah.

Purple Rain is 3rd.

And if you catch me on he right day I'll agree that Parade is his best. But there are maybe 10 of those days in a year. Today ain't one of them.

fuck you.

It's Sign o' the Motherfuckin Times. The one with Adore on it. The one with Housequake. The one with If I Was Your goddamned Girlfriend. Motherfuckin Dorothy fuckin Parker. Forever in your shitbag Life. Did I mention Adore?

I made a list of Prince's 100 best - 11 songs came from SOTT. 5 from Parade. And of the Parade songs 3 were actually extended versions not on the album (1 unreleased extended version from SOTT). I love Parade but I love SOTT more. It's a str8 numbers game and SOTT wins. But I give Parade the edge for cohesiveness and creating a mood. SOTT rambles but that's the beauty of it - the range. And Crystal Ball is even MORE so. Though cutting that to 2 discs was the right move. Only bc The title track and Shockadelica are too much.

sit down, clown. It's Sign o the Times.

fuck you.

It's Parade.

****************

If your preference fluctuates then it's fine.

fuck you.

but within all his albums, I think Parade is his best work. It's the sweet spot of all things Prince.

****************
TBH the fact that you're even a mod here fits squarely within Jag's narrative of OK-sanctioned aggression, bullying, and toxicity. *shrug*

I can get with that.

Wait - I like that BUT on SOTT he did everything that made him great. Literally - the best of everything he could do he squeezed on the album. That's why I say it's his best and among the best ever. But I agree Parade is a sweet spot. There's no Rock on it so I can't say it's as great an example of his work as SOTT.

fuck you.

___________

Back again for the first time.

On SOTT he gave us a taste of EVERYTHING that made him great. It's the album I recommend to ppl who are just getting into P and want a 'sampler'. If they don't like SOTT they don't like Prince. Bc he did it all on the album.

fuck you.

> If they don't like SOTT they don't like
>Prince.


When he died, there's a 'too cool for school' dude who was on that "I never understood why people like him so much" dumb shit. He almost got tarred and feathered right here at the office.

___________

Back again for the first time.

I agree. But I give a pass to those who've listened to his music and found they're not into it. The dismissives get the gas face.

fuck you.

UTCM kills Parade's momentum. And sometimes SISIA is too much melodrama. Points off for those 2. Everything else is stellar.

fuck you.

SOTT is full of awesome singles. It's a big commercial force in the vein of 1999 and Purple Rain.

Parade's only big single (Kiss) sounds out of place with the rest of the album and shouldn't have been included on it. I view Parade as an extended suite and it's been my favorite front-to-back album from Prince (though I always skip Girls And Boys).

I was never a fan of Kiss jsut because the video was played nonstop but that shit goes...

G&B's... cmon. That hook is gangster as fuck.

The harmonies with the background singers on that whole album is just.. beautiful

but i can't be mad at anyone saying SOTT.

Parade is probably his most diverse and cohesive album.

Dude made a French soundtrack/funk fusion album. That BANGS.

That barry sax in girls and boys is just so gratuitously funky man

gnap.

^ the best songs on Parade don't touch these heights.

which is why SOTT is his best album.

have your favorite but recognize genius.

That's smashin theme music

****************
TBH the fact that you're even a mod here fits squarely within Jag's narrative of OK-sanctioned aggression, bullying, and toxicity. *shrug*

the album has TWO of Prince's best slow jams. TWO.

imagine if he'd put 'Crucial' in the place of 'Slow Love'.

man, please.

but anyway, as is the shit is the jam.

fuck you.

meanwhile, UTCM drags down Parade. and Sometimes It Snows In April is often too much melodrama for one song.

and as i said - the highs on SOTT are higher than the highs on Parade.

most ppl agree that 'Adore' is his best song (IMO it's 'Power Fantastic'). so that right there puts Parade out to pasture. there's nothing on Parade that comes close to 'Adore'.

those in the know understand 'Dorothy Parker' is top 5 material. also 'If I Was Your Girlfriend'.

what's on Parade that's touching those? 'Mountains'? nope. not when the best part of that song ain't even ON the album - see the 12 inch for that. 'G&B'? that song is the shit but it's not in the same league w/'Adore'.

SOTT all day.

have your favorite but recognize the genius that is SOTT. SOTT is the best double album in the history of popular music. YES it's better than SITKOL. yes it's better than the White Album. better than Exile on Main Street. better. period. best double album of all. time.

recognize.

finally, i said this earlier too...on SOTT Prince gave us the best he has to give. everything that made him a great musician is laid out on the album. he gave us the best he had to give. the breadth alone makes SOTT greater than Parade. Parade is cute Funk/Pop record. but SOTT is a great album that goes beyond Funk/Pop and touches it all. that's why i start newbies w/SOTT. if they dig that album then they dig Prince. from there i tell 'em to go chronological from the beginning. but if they don't dig that album then there's no point in wasting time w/Prince.

fuck you.

that's what hits me the hardest.

i'm seeing the Revolution in April (on the anniversary of his death, even) and that's gonna be hard. b/c the thing i wanted most b4 he died was to see him reunite w/them. and of course mostly i wanted them to play the Parade album - even more than i wanted to see them play stuff from Purple Rain. and that's the part of the April show i'm most looking forward to. i want to hear the band tear up 'Mountains' and 'Anotherloverholenyohead'. but Prince won't be there.

fuck you.

SOTT edges it....BUT ONLY VERY SLIGHTLY (Like "Dorothy Parker" can't be fucked with....at all) because Parade is easily P's best sequenced album....I just think SOTT is the BIGGER album....1999 (on the low) is in the mix as well....Prince was locked in that synth-funk-rock chamber.....

GOAT of his era......long live Prince.....God is alive....

Never really considered it either. I just assumed that everyone's whose favorite wasn't SOTT was Purple Rain.

was it his first album as the symbol? I do like the most beautiful girl in the world but don't know anything else about the album.

“So back we go to these questions — friendship, character… ethics.”

dunno.

this one came out of P's 2nd contract w/WB and was released during a tumultuous time w/the label. i dunno why it's out of print and unavailable officially.

there are no TGE songs on the latest compilation - 4ever. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4Ever_%28Prince_album%29

nothing after 1992 is included. i dunno if there's going to be some future compilation w/the post 1992 stuff or what. it's odd.

fuck you.

Graffiti Bridge. Or maybe even Love Sexy. Though LoveSexy and Around the World feel like EPs to me.

Shit even the Batman Soundtrack.

But Gold Experience?

Whoever said that must secretly hate prince.

The Question of U
Elephants and Flowers
Joy in Repetition
Thieves in the Temple
Still Would Stand All Time

These are some of Prince's best songs imo. I definitely revisit this album from time to time and really enjoy it. Just a few too many duds to keep it from top 5 category for me.

to great songs on the Gold Experience though.


P Control
Shhh
The Most Beautiful Girl in the World
Shy
Billy Jack Bitch
Eye Hate U
Gold

Some people really like the Endorphinmachine though I'm not as high on it.

but since Spotify has all his music I rediscovered Parade and all its gloriousness.

Im trying a New Position today.

TBH the fact that you're even a mod here fits squarely within Jag's narrative of OK-sanctioned aggression, bullying, and toxicity. *shrug*

it's partly because of that fool Prince making the album one track on CD releases. I forgot he did that until I saw it was one track on spotify.

"what's a leader if he isn't reluctant"

I probably have listened to Parade much more over the past decade or so. I've got no problems with anyone listing it as their #1. Prince was obviously gifted throughout his career, but he was on another artistic level in that mid 80s time period.

Well before his passing gave new meaning to the song, Sometimes it Snows was always my fav Prince ballad. I prefer to play Venus de Milo just before it though - I think it's a better transition.

why isn't Lovesexy in the poll though?

b/c you'd have to either be mentally disordered or unfamiliar w/Prince's work to choose either of those as his best. plus there's only room for 6 and few ppl are going to choose Lovesexy.

fuck you.

I like what I like LOL.
