It was a boss move fr artistically and business wise... he wasn't gonna allow PR to pigeonhole his brand..

Not surprising ATW was his favorite at time, It was the album that got him back where he wanted to be creatively...

I remember reading the reaction to Parade was not great especially by his black fanbase...
Cacs giving the Beatles credit for ATWIAD still pisses me off.

They did the same shyt with Mike. They felt they had to downplay prince and humble him after Purple Rain.


Anyway Pop Life is my shyt...and the album is great..4/5 . Showed Prince could've easily riden the Purole Rain wave for like 2 years more but did a switchup.

Prince said in an interview back in the 80's (86'), that Around The World in a Day was his favorite album

love them both, but if I have to choose Parade

on another Prince note

I was playing this last week. Years back when i first heard it was a :blessed: moment because Prince doesn't often do covers. But maybe greatest musician that ever was covering maybe the group that ever was

This is such a great cover and the guitar solo is just astonishing! :wow:

I feel like this question was reading my thoughts because I was asking myself the same question. I would say Around the World in a Day is better BUT Parade is lowkey become more appreciated now than it was in its day.

Sometimes it Snows in April is a beautiful song.

But ATWIAD was just this psychadelic masterpiece.

The title track
Tambourine
Condition of the Heart
The Ladder
Pop Life

:wow:
