  12. help me out here, I'm stupid
  13. Ey, it's a great album. But not flawless.
  14. Oh it's a great song. But it DOES sound dated. Both of these things can be true. And on other tracks on that album, they just don't hold up well at all. But there's some serious cognitive dissonance in praising the sound of Purple Rain while dissing it in 1984. Absolute bullshit.
  15. You say this, and then you criticize Van Halen's virtuoso Oberheim synth work. And I stand by my statement. Linn drums sound like shit, and always have. Roland 808s and Simmons, now that's an entirely different story. Though even the 808 can sound like crap.
  16. Really? You're... just now noticing? Even in the more popular tracks, the sound has not aged well.
  17. And what do you say about its sequel? Because I'll watch that one, too.
  18. All the thought they put into it was "1984." It was a great year. 1982 might've been even better. As for superstardom, I count... Prince, Madonna, Van Halen, Wham!, Kenny Loggins (for the title track to "Footloose"). Maiden was never a superstar (though they ought to have been, and this remains one of their best if not THE best album, and far better than most here), Metallica's orbital launch was the black album, Turner was ALREADY a superstar to the previous generation, Run-DMC didn't launch until 1986's Raising Hell.
  19. I think you got those backwards. 1984 only had synths on three of its 9 tracks, and all 3 of those were recorded performances of EVH playing. Purple Rain had preprogrammed synths on ALL its tracks, and a lot of those aged badly. They're well-written songs, but they sound horribly dated with their ancient ass MIDI drum machine shit. also i wouldn't buy it because my brother already had it and I'd just listen to his copy
