C/D: Prince's "Around the World in a Day"

Basically absolutely LOVE "Raspberry Beret" and "Paisley Park". Also quite fond of the title track and "Pop Life". Not quite as keen on the rest.

honestly i only came around to "parade" as an album this year (before i would always listen to kiss, mountains, and maybe another lover and that's it).

the title track is the only thing I don't like much on "Purple Rain"

O_O

Anyway, great album. I never latched onto Parade as strongly as this one, myself.

I understand now
love is more important than sex
I have to go now

I don't know when I'll return

goodbye

Prince's worst 80s record?

way better than Lovesexy imo. i might prefer it to Parade too but i know that's a minority opinion.

temptation is pretty embarrassing

Anyway, "Paisley Park" and "Raspberry Beret" are fantastic songs because they sound like something The Beatles might have done in 1967.

I just heard "Pop Life" somewhere the other week, it made me happy like it usually does. I think most of the detractory commentary above is fair, but for somebody's decade low-point to include "Pop Life," "Raspberry Beret," "Tamborine" and "Condition of the Heart" says more about the decade he had than the actual merits of the album. Even the title track is pretty cool.

'raspberry beret' makes my shortlist of the best pop records of all time, easy.

"Temptation" is amazing, imo, always gives me chills

i'm hard-pressed to think of any song called 'temptation' that isn't awesome!

I've voiced the identical sentiment about songs w/tambourines in the title!

Redirecting from this current sidebar: 'The Top' by the Cure: Classic or Dud?

imago— Definitely check out the b-sides from this album: 'She's Always In My Hair' (which is an absolutely classic song, full stop), 'Girl', and 'Hello.' There's also the twenty minute (no, really) version of 'America.'

Oh cool!

Yeah this was awesome. Didn't even falter in Side B, although I'm not sure the opener isn't my favourite track
