Dirty Mind is another classic. Underrated electro funk mini masterpiece.

I think I saw a copy of Dirty Mind at the local record store recently. If it's still there when I visit on Sunday, I'll consider picking it up! Along with Purple Rain.

And, as for Prince, the absolute greatest pop musician who ever lived (I'm not saying this just like that, I truly mean it), so if you are interested in the pop genre you just can't orientate for a better artist.

Alright I'll look for that, but if I find Purple Rain sooner I'll get that instead. Or I'll just listen to them online or something. Whatever.
Usually I really get turned off by 80's pop music, but what I've heard from Prince sounds so damn good. Maybe he can make me appreciate the 80's pop scene a bit more.
