Free Music Notes for The Very Best of Prince
Free Music Review: so underrated and so underappreciated...
Hit: 5 Stars
i love prince and his music. he is such a unique and talented person. he's one of a kind. i like the fact that he plays his own instruments, writes, and produces his own songs. he mixes funk, soul, and rock all together and make it work and make it into his own kind of style. that's why i love the 80s..there was more originality during that type. people were barely copying each other. not many people i know around me can appreciate his music. i asked them if they did like him or his music..i get "hell no" or "not my cup of tea". it takes one open minded, intellect to fully appreciate and understand his music. i think this cd would be a great start of people who are just casual fans or new fans. it has a great collection of my favorites!
1. "I Wanna Be Your Lover" (single edit) (5/5) - this song marks pre-prince. it was released in the late 70s.
2. "1999" (single edit) (5/5)- i love this song! it's one of my all time favorite prince songs. 1999 is actually my favorite year so this song just happens to be so convenient during the time being.
3. "Little Red Corvette" (5/5) - another hit from him during the 80s. i read somewhere that it has some sexual tones. all this time, i could have never guess it.
4. "When Doves Cry" (single edit) (5/5)-i love the video. one of the most artistic things ever done at its time. he's not known as "the artist" for nothing!
5. "Let's Go Crazy" (5/5)- it's a great party song with a rock touch to it. it makes me want to get up and dance and the intro is very epic and pure genius.
6. "Purple Rain" (5/5) - one of his best ballads ever! i love the movie purple rain. his only best film. it has such a symbolic meaning to it.
7. "I Would Die 4 U" (5/5)-my absolute fave. it has some religious references in there as he reassures his lover that he can do no wrong.
8. "Raspberry Beret" (5/5)- so sweet and delicious!
9. "Kiss" (single edit) (5/5)-listening to this song always put a smile to my face. it's hilarious and so was the video where he dances with this mystery woman.
10. "Sign "'" the Times" (5/5)-i heard this song the first time while watching a movie in class.
11. "U Got the Look" (5/5)-the duet with sheena easton is awesome. i love hearing all the crazy sounds in the end. another reason to love the 80s!
12. "Alphabet St." (5/5)-very funky and fun
13. "Thieves in the Temple" (5/5)-love it
14. "Gett Off" (1/5)-umm...i don't really like this song, sorry. it's only song on here i dislike.
15. "Cream" (5/5)-i like the way he sings in this song. it sounds so seductive just like the lyrics itself.
16. "Diamonds and Pearls" (5/5) - i love this song!!!!!! it's very beautiful! the songs you hear out now can never have that artistic soul like this!
17. "Money Don't Matter 2 Night" (5/5)-it's very laidback and phil collins-y
The Very Best of Prince Poster
PRINCE CREAM - THE BEST OFTaken literally, this album's title is sure to cause endless arguments. Nothing from Dirty Mind, not a trace of the early anthem "Controversy," no "Erotic City"--no non-LP cuts at all, save some edited single versions--and a cold shoulder to the criminally out-of-print Gold Experience. Damn. As a compendium of 17 key A-sides from 1979 to 1992, however, The Very Best of Prince is (ahem) a quick-'n'-dirty review of the days when the Artist was, in the estimation of R.E.M. guitarist Peter Buck, one of the weirdest musicians in the Top 10. Blessed with both creative cunning and the wish to reach every listener possible, Prince revitalized rock and soul modes from the sex-crazed ("Little Red Corvette") to the cryptically spiritual ("Purple Rain"). Often he blurred lines between attitudes as surely as he did musical ones; the New Testament image of "Thieves in the Temple" became in his hands a complaint about a stolen girlfriend. Though a fine party artifact, this disc is still likely to prove too scanty even for many casual Prince fans. --Rickey Wright
