Perhaps I'll rope Kaius and harmless into assisting with the Stevie mix. After the three of us do our simultaneous LAL to Songs in the Key of Life, which will probably end with one of us dead from overstimulation. We should actually take bets on which one of us it is.

is that his most important record? His Thriller or Purple Rain, if you will?
I'd LAL to it with you, but this seems like it should be an aficionado's event.

Awesome picks. You're assembling quite a group of songs.PryTo wrote:Well, that damn Prince polices YouTube like a maniac, so can't post a video. But I'm going to go with the single that launched it all, "Soft and Wet." You can listen to the song here:

All sounds you hear were created by a 20-year-old genius.
Surprised Lament didn't snag this one first!
There is a 70s Prince song that I kinda want, but I don't think it will fit with my group. I don't think anyone will take it though.

Songs in the Key of Life is a cornerstone record of his, for sure. But for my money it's all about Innervisions. That's his most important record, I think.stip wrote:is that his most important record? His Thriller or Purple Rain, if you will?

I was definitely wrestling with two other tracks. Lot of good stuff on those first two albums.Lament wrote:There is a 70s Prince song that I kinda want, but I don't think it will fit with my group. I don't think anyone will take it though.
stip -- nice pick with Rocks Off. One of my favorite Stones songs. What a way to open an album!

Yeah, it's his magnum opus. A double album (plus a bonus EP) that capped his run of nearly five perfect albums released between the ages of 20 and 26 (the last three all winning Grammys for Album of the Year in a four year span).stip wrote:is that his most important record?

I think I agree with dct, but they're both unbelievably good records.
"Songs..." is a double album, and still manages to remain potent and lush without dragging its feet or feeling diluted.

Sinatra also won two in a row, but no one has won three in four years.

I prefer Innervisions as well, but Songs in the Key of Life is no doubt his most landmark record (and his personal favorite as well, for what it's worth).Kaius wrote:I think I agree with dct, but they're both unbelievably good records.

Well yeah, obviously.
Unless it happened while I was with a lady. Then I'd post about it in the Strat & Lament thread.
