The Feature Formerly Known As Friday Canon: Prince

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

By a kind of popular demand, here is the hugest Friday Canon yet, dedicated to the Purple One (now on a comeback tip I hear), Prince. Of course because the Friday Canon deals with UK top 40 hits, some of his best songs can't make it here (I'm particularly sad not to see "Dirty Mind") but there's plenty here to be going on with. Inventor of textspeak, and by some reckonings the most talented man of the 80s - by the one-third rule you get THIRTEEN picks across his career: use them wisely.

one (non-sexist) reason = prince put records out at much shorter intervals, then WENT MAD (symbol/slave era) and put records out much more rarely w/o big media push from his (new?) record company

i think madge is better now than she ever was but i am nuts

'Die Another Day' is in my top 10 Madge songs! And it's off a total point-and-laugh album (which is about a quarter ace but never mind).

american life = two thirds ace, say I

actually Lex, I think you're exaggerating the level of Madonna derision there's been as far as her music goes (my impression is that most of the derision has been reserved for her movies)
