Really? You're... just now noticing? Even in the more popular tracks, the sound has not aged well.


“Aged badly” does not compute. It’s an iconic synth sound (Linn LM-1) of the 1980’s. It is synonymous with peak Prince and is instantly identifiable by virtually every musician on the planet. It’s fucking awesome and should be played at ear-splitting volume.

Baby I’m a Star = “aged badly”. Lol, holy shit…

Baby I'm a Star is a fantastic song. It was back in the 80s and it still remains so in 2025. Purple Rain is one of the albums that has held up the best throughout the decades.

You say this, and then you criticize Van Halen's virtuoso Oberheim synth work.

And I stand by my statement. Linn drums sound like shit, and always have.

Roland 808s and Simmons, now that's an entirely different story. Though even the 808 can sound like crap.

Oh it's a great song. But it DOES sound dated. Both of these things can be true.

And on other tracks on that album, they just don't hold up well at all.

But there's some serious cognitive dissonance in praising the sound of Purple Rain while dissing it in 1984. Absolute bullshit.

Every so often you’d have to ride your bike with those pedals and no shoes. It’s why I can pretty much walk anywhere barefoot these days.

Pedal with your heels.

Bud check the thread, I never said a word about Eddie. I love 1984. I’m Jeff Fucking Spicoli.

I only take issue with the Purple Rain diss.

Ey, it's a great album. 

But not flawless.

I’d usually pedal with the balls of my feet in between the spikes and hold my heels up and hope I didn’t slip off the pedal lol

Those pedals were necessary to be able to perform the perfect skids so it was a willing trade off.

I only had one friend that had a Sega Saturn, and it was fucking dope. So underrated.

It’s officially “put it in reverse terry” season 🤣

Tony’s and hot sauce / buffalo sauce/ ranch. Probably a combination of all 3. Oh and some HEB queso.

As they say, today is the last day on which several thousand Americans will have 2 hands/all 10 fingers.

Son is an ER Nurse and contest.  All hands (no pun intended) on deck.  He’ll get 1-1/2OT this whole weekend, as SA residents are stupid!

He’s seen some so bad that the MD just says we might as well amputate.

Hook’em!!!

Today is the day for the inebriated to say “hold my beer and watch this!”  Consequences be damned, which at the time they don’t think about.

Hook’em!!!

When your foot slipped off and it spun around and took a gouge out of your shin was the best.

10 stitches in the back of my left leg, right on the achilles. 4 decades later, still got the scar.

damn I ate a lot of kudos bars 25 years ago.  didn’t know they’d been discontinued 

When i worked at a shady telemarketing company they would give out kudos along with a candy bar to anyone who got 5 sales in a day. The word kudos triggers me to this day.

After hearing Prince play lead guitar in that George Harrison tribute I am convinced he wasted a lot of talent on some albums that could have been incredible.

Damn man, that sounds like it sucked pretty bad. Kudos to you for getting beyond those times though.

Well damn, Kenny. Kudos to you for having the courage to admit having the same thought, but missing the timing on it.
