Without a specific ranking (depends on the mood I'm in):

Purple Rain
Around the World in a Day
Sign 'O' the Times
Lovesexy
Graffiti Bridge
prince
The Gold Experience
Emancipation
The Rainbow Children
Musicology

But, basically, he has done so much great stuff that choosing 10 records has to mean to neglect a lot of good to excellent work (the early albums, 1999, Parade, Batman, Diamonds and Pearls, Rave)

Have you noticed how many times Musicology appeared on the lists? Have Prince's creative forces waned as many people tend to claim?

Nope. 'Musicology' does not display a waning in creativity. It just wasn't what some people wanted to hear, which could be said about any of the albums listed in this thread.
