So just go for another one of your fave albums then hun..

 

[funky]

How about...

10 Let’s Go Crazy
09 Take Me With U
10 The Beautiful Ones
08 Computer Blue
05 Darling Nikki
10 When Doves Cry
10 I Would Die 4 U
10 Baby I’m A Star
11 Purple Rain

I just don’t really like Nikki and it’s a shame it’s right in the middle of the album but given the rest of the album it’s Inconsequential.

IWD4U and TBO are among the best of the best but at the risk of being predictable, I still think the title track is his best ever moment.

 

[funky]

As an alternative... his other iconic moment (for me)

08 Thunder
09 Daddy Pop
11 Diamonds & Pearls
10 Cream
07 Strollin’
09 Willin’ And Able
10 Gett Off
09 Walk Don’t Walk

10 Money Don’t Matter 2Night
07 Push
08 Insatiable
08 Live 4 Love

I wish more people appreciated 90s Prince.

[octophone]

Yes!

I would love to say that I meant that but I've been drinking and meant to make it an 11!

But I adore that song. When Stipe sings "September's coming soon", there's a very specific memory that triggers inside me. It's a bittersweet memory, as so many are.

Nothing to apologise for with Automatic For The People and Aladdin Sane

do you like their other stuff? I’m not totally familiar with all their work but I adore The Colour Of Spring. “Life’s What You Make It” is the best song of 1986 and one of the best songs of the 80s.
