Nostalgia is a defining criteria for me. Songs that would make me instantly reach for the off button instead fill me with warmth for taking me back to a happy time of my life. Odd thing is i know i was depressed half the time but can't summon those black moods anymore, like they never happened! I like a lot of very bad 80s pop but have no truck with bad pop from any other era.

I won't say I hate it, but it's mostly a meh song to me. Far more quality Prince songs than PR.

"Better Be Good to Me" is pretty tough, talking '80s stuff. Her work with Ike & Tina Turner in the '60s-'70s is boss as hell.

It's beyond awesome - it's preternatural. George Harrison said it was the greatest record ever recorded.
