Tenessee Welcome back!

Destiny Thanks for the new thread - I'm another one that felt shock and disappointment when I saw the other thread had ended!

Mayte's tattoo is gorgeous. I'm still not brave enough to get one, even one dedicated to Prince.

We saw a 'Prince on board' sign in a car today. Dh quipped that perhaps Prince had one in his hearse. I made it clear why I didn't think that was funny. He then bought me a new handbag.

Strangely, whenever dh buys me new underwear it's always purple! So the man does have some taste. Very tempted to buy more following those links though!

Thanks princeismagic, tonight, lazarus 🙂 I'm loving my new NN too 😄

Catching up with all the videos, some great stuff.

Destinysdaughter · 21/05/2016 16:46

Nikki thanks for posting that article, it really captures how radical and forward thinking Prince was on so many levels, gender, sexuality, image, musically and lyrically. He really was a man of ideas as much as a brilliant musician.

There just isn't anyone like him now. Most modern music to me feels so soulless and empty really. Sad

I love how different all of his music is too destinys, there's a very different feel to each time period and album. And how he changed his image so often, even more than Madonna I reckon!

I'm really enjoying the sign o' the times and lovesexy albums atm, these seem to be what I'm listening to most. What is everyone else's favourite Prince album? Hard to choose I know!

Destinysdaughter · 21/05/2016 17:07

It is hard to choose as they are so different! SOTT is probably the most consistent but 1999 is brilliant, Parade has some great stuff in it and Lovesexy is v upbeat and danceable.

Nope, can't choose! 😄

Impossible to choose a favourite, but I have been listening to Parade a lot recently and I absolutely love it Smile

ComputerBlue · 21/05/2016 17:11

His albums are all so different and each is such a work of art in its own right!

DriveMeToTennessee · 21/05/2016 17:17

It is impossible really 😄 They are all so good

Destinysdaughter · 21/05/2016 17:21

And I don't know his more recent ones yet, sure there's some good stuff on there. And of course there are all the songs in the Vault!!

Think it is an impossible task to categorise Prince- " I am something that you'll never understand"

ComputerBlue · 21/05/2016 17:26

Yes Prince IS the genre

MaybeImJustTooDemanding · 21/05/2016 17:27

Hello all - just booking my spot on the new thread Smile

Welcome back destiny and Tennessee (love the new name!)

I'm listening to The Gold Experience quite a lot at the minute...just waiting for payday so I can make some more purchases!

TonightYoureAStar · 21/05/2016 17:41

Today I've listened to parade, love sexy and now sott, all of them are good - I think Sott is my fav because I love starfish & coffee and if I was your girlfriend, but all 3 are special as I just starting to listen to music in the years when those albums came out - I'd forgotten about girls and boys love that! I used to play the charts and tape the songs I liked so I never got to listen to whole albums, making up for that now though, determined to listen to everything..

DriveMeToTennessee · 21/05/2016 17:58

Hi maybe 🙂

I have to get the gold experience at some point- that is one I don't have! I too am waiting til payday to buy more!

TonightYoureAStar · 21/05/2016 18:12

Have u downloaded tidal?

ComputerBlue · 21/05/2016 18:31

Oh tonight I absolutely adore If I was your girlfriend, such a beautiful song, on so many levels.

Maybe I love The Gold Experience too which are your favourite tracks? Standouts for me are Gold, Billy Jack Bitch and Eye Hate U , of course The most beautiful girl in the world which is lovely, We March also good

ComputerBlue · 21/05/2016 18:36

I also love The Ballad of Dorothy Parker from sott, some pure genius as work there but then this is Prince we are talking about why would I expect anything less? Grin

ComputerBlue · 21/05/2016 18:40

Does anyone else like God Created Woman from the love symbol album I have always thought it is such a beautiful song

AnneEyhtMeyer · 21/05/2016 18:41

Checking in to the new thread.

I bought Lovesexy today - one of the few I didn't have before.

Love The Gold Experience.

ComputerBlue · 21/05/2016 18:42

Prince gave us so much amazing music that just listening to his stuff on rotation is enough isn't it!?

TonightYoureAStar · 21/05/2016 18:59

computer the lyrics to the alarm of Dorothy Parker are just genius, I think it must have actually happened because where on earth would he get the idea of having a bath in his pants?! So random but just so adorable..

ComputerBlue · 21/05/2016 19:07

I know Grin love that

Cocolepew · 21/05/2016 19:32

Hello to all you namechangers
My favourite albums is Parade. I dont have it on cd though. I hadnt listened to it for at least 20 years and put I on youube after he died and was blown away. Buying it on payday.
SOTT would be my next favourite.

lazarusb · 21/05/2016 20:16

Parade is my go to album. It reminds me of a good(ish) time in my life and I love the way he looked in the film and around that time period. I love Mountains but don't really know why!

ComputerBlue · 21/05/2016 21:28

Parade is brilliant and the whole album flows so well, i love anotherloverholenyohead
