James Blount (James Blount), Wednesday, 12 February 2003 05:41 (twenty-two years ago)

James Blount (James Blount), Wednesday, 12 February 2003 05:42 (twenty-two years ago)

jess (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 12 February 2003 05:42 (twenty-two years ago)

man prince is so great. there's always so many great SOUNDS in these songs.

jess (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 12 February 2003 05:43 (twenty-two years ago)

I was just listening to Lovesexy... it's not nearly as brilliant as I thought it was back when it was first released. It sounds more far more dated than "Purple Rain" certainly.

donut bitch (donut), Wednesday, 12 February 2003 05:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Dirty Mind is great.. but it's extremely sparse. Josh, I think you'd like Around The World In A Day.

donut bitch (donut), Wednesday, 12 February 2003 05:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Now i'm listening to "Prince". You guys rule.

donut bitch (donut), Wednesday, 12 February 2003 05:48 (twenty-two years ago)

princ dnf the rvolution

Mike Hanle y (mike), Wednesday, 12 February 2003 05:54 (twenty-two years ago)

I'd defend Dave Matthews, but I just don't have the strungth to go & face the pitchforks & burning patchouli just yet. But, hell, I defended John Mayer, and I actually OWNED a DMB CD.

Josh, I will make you CD-R copies of _The Hits / The B-Sides_ IF you post to this thread.

David R. (popshots75`), Wednesday, 12 February 2003 06:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Special howdy to all the fine folks at Warner Bros. & Paisley Park. Howdy! Lemme know when you're bringing the cops by - I'll make gumbo.

David R. (popshots75`), Wednesday, 12 February 2003 06:03 (twenty-two years ago)

And, as a special bonus, I will NOT include "Nothing Compares 2 U" & "Adore". & maybe "Pink Cashmere".

David R. (popshots75`), Wednesday, 12 February 2003 06:05 (twenty-two years ago)

make josh like ILE more

felicity (felicity), Wednesday, 12 February 2003 06:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Isn't someone supposed to mail him a beer?

David R. (popshots75`), Wednesday, 12 February 2003 06:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Josh, I will promise NEVER to freestyle ever again if you come back to the Twin Bitches.

David R. (popshots75`), Wednesday, 12 February 2003 06:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Lovesexy is so fucking good.

chaki (chaki), Wednesday, 12 February 2003 09:06 (twenty-two years ago)

Josh likes Herbert and No Doubt but not Prince? Likes Kompakt but not "The Ballad of Dorothy Parker"? Hmmm....

M Matos (M Matos), Wednesday, 12 February 2003 09:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Why does this thread even exist? Take your heads out of each others' arses and CONTRIBUTE to something.

Mark C (Mark C), Wednesday, 12 February 2003 12:13 (twenty-two years ago)

marc c = prince!

chaki (chaki), Wednesday, 12 February 2003 12:24 (twenty-two years ago)

josh like prince more, but like you don't have to.

jel -- (jel), Wednesday, 12 February 2003 14:42 (twenty-two years ago)

I didn't like Around the World In a Day so it might not help.

sundar subramanian (sundar), Wednesday, 12 February 2003 15:12 (twenty-two years ago)

I'd go for "Parade", easy. I don't think "Lovesexy" is all that dated but I love Prince and am not up to date. At all. Josh, try "Parade", if you want.

Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Wednesday, 12 February 2003 15:18 (twenty-two years ago)

_Parade_
_Lovesexy_

Most underrated Prince single: "Mountains"

Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 12 February 2003 15:20 (twenty-two years ago)

"Mountains" is so very very good.

Sean (Sean), Wednesday, 12 February 2003 15:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Echoing the above. And isn't the eightiesness of those albums Josh complains about the whole point?

Dan's implicit point that the stretch between 1984 and 1988 was practically unstoppable godhead in particular is to be noted and cherished. Good call on Gold, and let's not forget Come either. "LET IT GOOOOooooooOOOOO..."

Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 12 February 2003 16:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes, _Come_ is deeply, deeply underrated (even by Prince himself).

Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 12 February 2003 16:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Track 1 on Lovesexy is great.

Andy K (Andy K), Wednesday, 12 February 2003 16:48 (twenty-two years ago)

To be more like Prince I think Josh might need a new pair of trousers.

Tim (Tim), Wednesday, 12 February 2003 16:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Josh K in assless pants: Classic or Dud?

Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 12 February 2003 18:59 (twenty-two years ago)

It was 7:45 we were all in line
To greet the teacher Miss Kathleen
First was Kevin, then came Lucy, third in line was me
All of us were ordinary compared to Cynthia Rose
She always stood at the back of the line
A smile beneath her nose
Her favorite number was 20
And every single day
If U asked her what she had for breakfast
This is what she'd say

Starfish & Coffee
Maple syrup and jam
Butterscotch clouds and a tangerine
A side order of ham
If U set your mind free baby
Maybe you'll understand
Starfish & Coffee
Maple syrup and jam

Cynthia wore the prettiest dress but different color socks
Sometimes, I wondered if the mates were in her lunchbox
Me and Lucy opened it when Cynthia wasn't around
Lucy cried, I almost died
Do u know what we found?

Starfish & Coffee
Maple syrup and jam
Butterscotch clouds, a tangerine
And a side order of ham
If U set your mind free baby
Maybe you'll understand
Starfish & Coffee
Maple syrup and jam oh - oh
(Starfish & Coffee)

Cynthia had a happy face
Just like the one she draws
On every wall, in every school but it's alright
It's for a worthy cause
Go on Cynthia!
Keep sayin'

Starfish & Coffee
Maple syrup and jam
Butterscotch clouds, a tangerine
A side order of ham
If U set your mind free baby
Maybe you'll understand
Starfish & Coffee
Maple syrup and jam...

"Most underrated Prince single: "Mountains" " - this is the truest thing that has ever been uttered on ILx

James Blount (James Blount), Wednesday, 12 February 2003 20:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Parade, Sign O The Times and Purple Rain are all really great albums. But the main point is that we want Josh on ILE lots again!

Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Wednesday, 12 February 2003 20:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Mountains is OK..

chaki (chaki), Wednesday, 12 February 2003 21:44 (twenty-two years ago)

If by "OK" you mean "godly", then I agree.

Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 12 February 2003 21:48 (twenty-two years ago)

i dunno i like the rest of parade much better.. im all about new position >i wonder you.. and anyway wasnt dolphin from the gold album a single? that one is better than mountains

chaki (chaki), Wednesday, 12 February 2003 21:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Prince fans that don't think he's fallen off abit can be kinda weird; I knew a guy in the Navy who was convinced Emancipation was Prince's best album.

James Blount (James Blount), Wednesday, 12 February 2003 22:01 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh God, "Dolphin" is my least favorite song on _Gold_. It makes me want to HURT.

"New Position"/"I Wonder U" is amazing, yes, but I was thinking specifically of singles that seem to have been unfairly overlooked.

_Emapncipation_ is fucking fantastic, especially disk 3.

Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 12 February 2003 22:02 (twenty-two years ago)

More votes for Emancipation and Come here! Both great albums.

Sean (Sean), Wednesday, 12 February 2003 22:07 (twenty-two years ago)

i like dolphin live alot it made me like the song better.

chaki (chaki), Wednesday, 12 February 2003 22:09 (twenty-two years ago)

Prince fans that don't think he's fallen off abit can be kinda weird

have you heard the rainbow children? have you seen him live lately? just because he doesnt sell millions of records anymore he's "fallen off" ?? he still fucks it up as far as im concerned.
