Sign 'o' the Times - Prince (1987)

He'd fired his band, and his latest movie had flopped; just three years after Purple Rain, Prince was in the market for a comeback. So he recorded one of the great albums of the Eighties. Times is best known for the apocalyptic title track, the brontosaurus funk of "Housequake" and the gorgeous "If I Was Your Girlfriend." Yet the simplest moments are unforgettable: the "Sweet Jane"--style guitar plea of "The Cross," the Stax revamp on "Slow Love," a jilted girl's sadness in "I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man." "I hate the word experiment," Prince said. "It sounds like something you didn't finish." Here, he finished.

Total album sales: 1 million

Peak chart position: 6

Prince has been around for millions of years but has his style really changed?? sometimes things are kept how they are for the better, but honestly, its time to move on from that hair cut and clothes style.. although appearence isnt the best, i have to say musicology has a pretty mad sound and is bangin, but, maybe thats the only thing bangin with him?? :lol:

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
