What's Your Favourite Prince Album?

I've only heard a few, and I stopped at Lovesexy, but I'd have to go for Purple Rain. Around The World In A Day has grown on me over the years as well.

Just tried to vote in the above poll and saw that it actually closed in 2005! Ah well

 

That would be my top 5 too,

 

My avatar answers the question. I didn't become a fan until the summer of 2006 when Chaos and Disorder was released. I can't remember why I bought it but it was the first Prince album that I heard and it will always be my favourite (tied with Emancipation). Both albums fit perfectly onto two 110 minute cassettes and I played them non stop over the next few years.

For me 1993-1996 was his second golden era (after 1983-1986). It just seemed like great music was pouring out of him, hopefully some day much of it will be released!

 

Substitute The Gold Experience for Parade and those are my five.

 

Top 5:

Around the World in a Day
Purple Rain
Batman
Diamonds and Pearls
Planet Earth

My list changes every other day.

 

The fact that Prince has no votes is completely mind-boggling.

 

It shouldn't be. Many people like to pretend the first two albums don't exist.

 

Prince does have one of all-time favorite tracks of his, "I Wanna Be Your Lover," but I don't think that one was listed in the the "Top 10 Prince songs" thread either, which is even more mind-boggling to me.

I tried making a list for that other thread but couldn't narrow it down to 10, btw.

 

His first hit record. Not a fan of Disco but Prince did a decent job of it with that song.

 

I never thought of it as disco but I guess it could be. If it is disco, though, that may explain why no one listed it in the other thread.

 

Bingo! That was when he was making Disco music. He was still finding his musical footing.
Check out his debut performance of "I Wanna Be Your Lover" on the American Bandstand. He kills it.
Afterwards Dick Clark and Prince have a short and awkward interview. lol

 

I don't know why... how can an album be so ignored when it contains "I Wanna Be Your Lover", "Bambi", "Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad", and "I Feel For You"? (just for starters!)

 

Quite a few standout tracks but it's still a Disco album and for that reason alone it will continue to be criticized harshly and shunned.
