    Reminder that Prince was ordered by the NFL to not use real guitars during his Halftime show due to downpouring rain and he said fuck off

    So what's a good Prince album, anyway?

    A lot of them, but if you're looking for most of the iconic stuff, go for Purple Rain, 1999 and Sign o' the Times

    Apparently Apple Music only has two Prince albums. That's weird.

    I was just talking about Chyna and fucking hell if someone didn't tell me about this...

    I when to a Prince concert in SC in 2011 and it was magical. I might have been the youngest person there. Best $200 I ever spent... FUCK 2016.

    Oh cool, apparently what this means is that I get third-hand gossip from local ambulance drivers about what REALLY happened

    This is my favorite Prince performance of all time

    My favorite part is Dhani Harrison's obvious glee at sharing the stage with Prince and Tom Petty.

  • OmnipotentBagelOmnipotentBagel floof Registered User regular
    When Doves Cry is probably the quintessential Prince song for me, so Purple Rain is definitely my go-to.

    Prince was pretty particular about the availability of his music from what I understand.

    Yeah, I'm going to edit this right out. We'd been discussing it a few days ago on a different website and I remembered that horrible factoid. 2016 is brutal.

    Which is probably a bad thing, since I know he's good!

    Jesus.

    This year is gonna go down in history.. I think back to how American Pie referenced that plane crash that took away all those artists in the 60's (70s?).. this year is gonna be remembered like that.

    2016 is not a good year for androgynous pop icons

  • UnbreakableVowUnbreakableVow Registered User regular
    Yeah, if you want Prince's stuff you're gonna have to go old school and find some CDs

    Or better yet, records

    Damn, I only have Purple Rain on vinyl. I know this sounds kinda grim but I think I need to get to the record stores tomorrow before his stuff starts going at a premium

    I'm going to struggle with this for awhile... Prince was one of the best.

    More than Music. Everything died this year. Alan Rickman, David Bowie, Chyna, Dan Haggerty (Grizzly Adams), Doris Roberts, and now Prince. 2016 is the Grim Reaper of Years.

    he probably got it after the fact, by asking someone and them acquiescing because it's prince

    According to other comments on that post the change happened a few weeks ago, not today.
