9️⃣"Illusion, Coma, Pimp & Circumstance"

We're mostly sticking with the hits for this countdown, but this album track from Musicology is too good to leave out.

Growing up, it all seems so one-sided
Opinions all provided
The future pre-decided
Detached and subdivided
In the mass production zone
Nowhere is the dreamer or the misfit so alone…

Another nostalgia record for me. #141 on #The500Blog is "Parallel Lines" from Blondie.

Get on top...

Net boy, net girl
Send your signal 'round the world
Let your fingers walk and talk
And set you free
Net boy, net girl
Send your impulse 'round the world
Put your message in a modem
And throw it in the Cyber Sea…

Happy Monday #RushFamily 🧡📡

Hi folks, the next poll in our debut albums competition will incorporate albums released from 1980 to 1984. Voting will commence on Friday 24th October. Please use #5debutalbums8084 for listening recommendations and promotion of your favourites. See you all then 👍👍

One in the top thirty, with my number one outside the top 100. That's much more in line with my typical voting record than the last tournament, where I voted for twenty-three albums that made the final.

1️⃣1️⃣"Nothing Compares 2 U"
(Live featuring Rosie Gaines)

Since you've been gone I can do whatever I want...

youtu.be/gXdv1zYFmtU?...

For you and me, sex is not a competition
For you and me, race is not a definition
For you and me, we hold these truths to be self-evident
For you and me, we'd elect each other president
For you and me
We might agree…

Happy Lifeson Day #RushFamily 💜

I remember seeing yours, but I don't recall... what did you have at the top?

Maybe for Prince, we just get to pick two songs for each spot.

1️⃣2️⃣"I Would Die 4 U"

The first, but not the last entry from Purple Rain.

I have stoked the fire on the big steel wheels
Steer the airship right across the stars
I learned to fight, I learned to love, I learned to feel
Oh I wish that I could live it all again…

Happy Pratturday #RushFamily 💗

1️⃣3️⃣"P Control"

I used to spin this on a semi-regular basis when I was deejaying in a club.

youtu.be/uoH7n2RDS_M?...

My #1 is an easy pick, but after that it's like I'm just pulling Prince songs out of a hat. So many from which to choose...

You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice
You can choose from phantom fears, and kindness that can kill
I will choose a path that's clear, I will choose Freewill…

Oh, yeah! Time.

Ceiling Unlimited
Windows open wide
Look and look again
Look again

Eyes on the prize
Changes never end
Never end

Winding like an ancient river
The time is now again…☄️

1️⃣5️⃣"Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad?"

It's quite the challenge to pick only fifteen favorite songs from an artist as prolific as Prince, but I'll give it a try.

Dreams flow across the heartland
Feeding on the fires
Dreams transport desires
Drive you when you're down
Dreams transport the ones
Who need to get out of town
Out of town…

Happy Willowdale Wednesday #RushFamily 💕

A quality of justice
A quantity of light
A particle of mercy
Makes The Color Of Right

Gravity and distance
Change the passage of light
Gravity and distance
Change the The Color Of Right…

Happy Monday #RushFamily 💕

1️⃣0️⃣"Butterfly"

The tenth track on Pinkerton, a sad, acoustic ballad perfectly closes this brilliant album.

I'm shaking at your touch

My baby, I'm afraid I'm falling for you
