Madonna - I'll Remember

Prince covering "One of Us."

 

Man, this is so awesome. Emancipation sucks, but this one song is worth the price of admission (keep in mind I paid $6.99 for the three disc set). It's vintage Prince, what with the vocals and guitar and shit. Just awesome.

Enon "High Society"

 

I'm trying to piece together a top ten at the moment, so far all I have locked are:

 

Source Tags and Codes

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot (Guaranteed Numero Uno)

Turn On The Bright Lights

Kill the Moonlight

Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots

 

I have to decide on the other five but I won't feel right picking them until I give "When I was Cruel" a fair listen to.

Yea, why is Emanicpation so cheap anyway? I mean it's three discs... is it really THAT bad that that's the only way they can sell it?

 

Anyway, to contribute to the thread...

 

Devo - "Satisfaction"

I dunno. Like most of America, I didn't give two shits about Prince during the mid 90's, when he was releasing shitty album after shitty album just to get out of his contract with Warner Bros. But yeah, Emancipation contains about an EP's worth of good material, mercilessly spread out over three goddamn discs. But check out that "One of Us" cover. It blows the original out of the water, as well as anything else during the three hours of tedium that is this triple album.

He was clearly full-on loopy by that point. Releasing a 3-disc album as your supposed *comeback* is insane.

 

The 90's produced some wonderful bits: a few gems off Prince and the New Power Generation (aka the Love Symbol Album), like "My Name Is Prince" and "Sexy M.F." and "Seven," some scattered goodies like "Cream" and "Gett Off"...but altogether, not so hotso for the Purple Man.

 

Right now: fittingly enough, "I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man." Prince writes narrative better than any other storyteller of his time, dammit.

Mid-90s Prince was not that bad, and I don't think nobody cared about him.

 

Most Beautiful Girl In The World, anyone?

But the love symbol album was the last time that Prince seemed to care about releasing quality material. After that, he was merely filling out contractual obligations.

 

And saying no one gave a shit about him during the mid 90s may be a bit strong, but the man made it awfully hard to care.

Bored by everything on the radio I've started listening to Classical stuff. Mozart's Requiem and Ravel's Bolero are my favorite's so far.

I just heard the Prince version of One Of Us. Damn, that's absolutely brilliant. Joan Osborne eat your heart out.

 

Of his 90s stuff I would say Diamonds And Pearls to be his best song. That is a really beautiful song.

 

But, right now, I'm listening to Batdance.

R.E.M. - "Shiny Happy People"

 

I dunno, my favorite '90s Prince song was "Pussy Control". Maybe it's just me.
