This is what the future sounded like back in ’82

I remember back in 82 thinking man im gonna be old in 1999😂 that Prince made it more exciting getting there!

That 'Minneapolis' sound!

They don’t make music like this anymore !!!

Still sounds incredible now.

D.M.S.R.

Erotic City.

And then he used the same melody for Manic Monday haha

MTV gold!!

Yeah but keyboards were so clunky it took two women to play them.

I lived for the weekends so I could watch this video on TBS’ Night Tracks 👏👏

What a time to be youngin. 80s music>>>>

Trust me when I say I partied harder in ‘82 than ‘99. 17 years is a lifetime when it comes to status changes.

Those octagon drums were the deal in 82.

When it really was the present. Some of the best false advertising lol 🔥🔥🔥 a bop lol

Futuristic even now

The drum pattern. Still imitated

The One

This was a formative experience for me.

This rocked the world

An absolute legend. The more I learn about him, the more astounded I become

@EricsElectrons F**************ck. Genius.

@Mznewzz It was amazing!!!!!

We’re gonna party like it’s 1929

💜💜💜💓🌌

This still sounds like the future

This song was the very first time i ever thought about “the future” as a 4 year old in 1983. Got me hopeful.

This is still my shit.

Sounds like my present to me

If you can undertand the rythm of the keyboard's riff, you are ok to play the game...

My sister @BarbaraCarter played this song all day-everyday! I love you sissy.... 😘😘😘😘😘 #Queens #Harlem #NewYork #Prince #1999 #sisterhood #love
