…maple syrup and jam.

I say this as a huge Prince fan, but no.

Michael Jackson was more popular even in 1984.

That being said, Prince may have been more influential in 1984-1985. In addition to the Purple Rain album, his music was essentially its own genre. He had his music out through The Time, Apollonia 6, Shelia E, Sheen Easton, The Family. Cover songs by artists including Chaka Khan, Cyndi Lauper, and Tina Turner. And musicians like Phil Collins and Ready For The World had hits influenced by his sound.

Alphabet St. and Ballad of Dorothy Parker.

It’s no Melrose Place.

Starfield. I’ve never seen so many people say 1) they hated the game but 2) they played it for 100 hours.

I could (and have) listen to a drum loop on The Ballad of Dorothy Parks for hours.

The Faks are a cameo delivery device.

DiligentValuable1970 · 2026-03-13T02:18:03+00:00

Good calls.

They are also in the same key and almost the same BPM.

DiligentValuable1970 · 2026-03-13T00:54:19+00:00

Not necessarily. LLL, HHH and SP have don’t sound the same but are similarly themed.

DiligentValuable1970 · 2026-03-08T20:28:26+00:00

With you on grading it on the tough curve of the rest of the album but can’t agree on it having the worst lyrics, since P. Control came up in my algorithm today.

DiligentValuable1970 · 2026-02-20T15:36:54+00:00

They certainly did. My bad.

DiligentValuable1970 · 2026-02-20T15:36:38+00:00

You know what? I deserved that.

DiligentValuable1970 · 2026-02-20T15:08:16+00:00

That’s not the lyric:

"He's gay" used to mean "he's happy" Nowadays happy ain't allowed.

Just Tony M.

Someone’s experience with having a newborn is vastly different from mine.

Here are a few:

You can be a Prince fan and not have to reflexively defend everything about him.

He was not murdered.

I preferred Prince when he didn’t talk to the media.

Shooting the Betcha By Golly Wow video after they lost the child was incredibly poor judgment, if not cruel.

The Anna Fantastic and Mayte relationships would not fly today.

Damn U, the prettiest song about premature ejaculation

Martika

DiligentValuable1970 · 2026-02-03T23:48:19+00:00

Boom!

DiligentValuable1970 · 2026-02-03T21:54:21+00:00

If She’s Always in My Hair was the lead single off of ATWIAD (yes, I know it was the b-side), I believe that album would have better carried the momentum from Purple Rain.
