1999 changed the sound of American pop music and Prince himself was a virtuoso

Him neither releasing his jam sessions nor making unironic Jazz-Funk is such a loss

Will do!

OOOOH wow, just heard him for the first time on Sports’ album but never knew what he looked like. Thanks. And yeah, start from his debut album and work your way through his 80s run. Best period of his career imo. Won’t regret it.

His entire vault will be given to us eventually I hope. Listened to the making of 1999 podcast last year which was dope.

This was really hard and I’m not even confident in this list lmao you can put me on the spot like that. I’d have to relisten to all on the spot. Remind me later in the week

1. Parade
2. Purple Rain
3. Lovesexy

His music wasn’t on YouTube or streaming for a while so I just gave up

But for sure dude

So the topic schedule is looking like
3. Rick James
4. Maxwell
5. Sade
6. Erykah Badu

This is tentative though (outside of Rick. That’s official) if y’all have any inputs and Wanna suggest more, quote this post with the suggestions and we’ll get a poll or something going.

All of us had that issue sadly. If your parents didn’t own the vinyls you were s*** outta luck outside of hearing Kiss and When Doves Cry occasionally.

need p-funk for #7. or sly and the family stone

I’m gonna make a bonus week on blue-eyed soul like Hiatus Kaiyote, Michael Mcdonald, George Michael, Bobby Caldwell, etc in the future. Will probably make more bonus weeks in the future if I think of topics for em.
