Pros: Prince makes some of the best music of all time. Cons: A few dated bits.
There are some artists who get so caught up in being icons that they often wind up letting the thing that gets people interested in them get overshadowed: the music. It happened to David Bowie, it happened to Lou Reed, it happened to Jim Morrison. But...
Pros: Songwriting; vocals; ambition; guitar riffs on "Computer Blue" and "Let's Go Crazy"; "When Doves Cry" Cons: None
Consider the following, generation y: if you had been born 20 years earlier, chances are you would have considered Prince to be one of the – if not the – coolest pop culture icons in the history of film and music. Most teenagers nowadays react ...
Pros: Prince creates the greatest soundtrack ever. Cons: Where's Vanity?In other words-none.
This is in my top five greatest albums ever made, ('Abbey Road','Nevermind','The Chronic','What's Goin' On',just in case you were wondering), and for good reason.Prince was at his artistic and commercial peak in 1984. This CD alone should cement his...
Pros: It has the chops to stand on it own without the movie. Cons: He doesn't produce this consistently all the time.
I've always loved the music of Prince, I will always be willing to listen to his new music, but it is the older Prince albums that will always have an appeal for me, I own them and I listen to them from time to time. The four that I will be...
Pros: The most perfect pop soundtrack for a film ever recorded... Cons: ...except for one song
Rhythm - a powerful force bending sound into palpable pressure 1985, most weeknights, 1 AM “Ok, time to close!” I probably said this phrase several hundred times over the course of my career at Taco Bell, and in many of these ...
Pros: Ultra catchy, vibrant, colourful, charismatic, romantic, infectious, funky. Cons: Depends what your views on sex are, "Darling Nikki" might offend.
I have been ignorant for far too long of the talents of the short purple one. When I was a teenager, the single "1999" was one of my favourite songs of daring rebellion. More recently, for a while I've been a huge fan of one of Prince's ...
Pros: Great Album Cons: I look weird driving with this tape playing in my vehicle
A 13 year old album that has yet to get old to me. I have now purchased this tape 4 times due to wear and friends "who dont like Prince" taking my tape. I think between the movie and this soundtrack he really hit something, I wish he could hit...
Pros: One of Prince's BEST albums ever made Cons: Since this is an 80s album, there's not much airplay
This year marks 20 years since the release of the movie Purple Rain and the Purple Rain Soundtrack. I was looking over this review and saw that it needed some extra love and attention. Besides, I had to honor the Purple One with a well-written ...
Pros: Revolutionary ! Cons: Not for the feint hearted !
I bought this album way back in 1985, it was then, and it remains my favourite album of all time. The energy in all of these tracks is timeless and listening to it stirs up the same excitement as it did 14 years ago when I first heard it. Experience...
Pros: Its ALLLLLLLL good! Cons: That younger generations probably don't know it exists.
This is the best album ever, hands down. And I am not a die-hard Prince fan, or a devout follower of funk/hip hop/dance or any other genre you want to throw this into - I'm just a BIG music fan!
Pros: A wonderful album. Cons: Nobody plays the songs on it anymore.
1984. Only 16 years ago and it seems like centuries. Top 40 radio was listenable. A black artist could play rock and roll and be accepted. Springsteen would follow Michael Jackson on playlists. It's a time that most of us in our late 20s and...
Pros: High quality and inventive pop/rock/funk with personal character and musical complexity. Cons: A couple of songs are great while the album's on, but don't stick afterwards.
Well, this is the biggie. While Prince’s 1982 album "1999" had introduced him to mainstream audiences with crossover hits like the title track and “Little Red Corvette”, 1984’s “Purple Rain” was the release that made him a ...
Pros: Prince's most accessible album; a well-focused, radio-friendly mix of rock, pop, and funk Cons: "Darling Nikki," but not for the reason Tipper Gore gave
Anger, he smiles, towering in shiny metallic purple armour --Jimi Hendrix: "Bold As Love" The stakes were high for Prince in 1984. His previous album, 1999,
broke him into the mainstream and critics were ...
