I was just listening back to Prince's Sign O' the Times, and how freaky and ahead of the curve the album is hit me so hard that it elevated my view of the album in Prince's overall discography--it's always been such a massive, knotty album for me. However, now that I'm older and have a bit more nostalgia for the music I heard in my youth, I've come to appreciate just how predictive the album was of a lot of darker, moodier sounds of the 90s.
I mean, how cutting edge was a song like "Hot Thing" for 1987?
It got me wondering about everyone's favorite Prince album and why? Is it a more obvious pick like Purple Rain or 1999? Or is it one of his more underappreciated works?
