This is round 2 of determining the org's favorite Prince album...Based on round 1, I include in this round any album that received at least 4 nominations.

please pick 3 of the following...

-Dirty Mind
-1999
-Purple Rain
-Around the World in a Day
-Parade
-Sign o' the Times
-Lovesexy
-The Gold Experience
-The Rainbow Children

My top 3 remain Lovesexy, 1999 and Sign o' the Times

And where, where is the Batman???
seriously though: Controversy not but Gold Experience is?
I must get too old for this...

Gotta be.....

1. Lovesexy
2. Sign o' The Times
3. The Gold Experience

I look forward to the end result.

Have you seen the first round? I based this simply on the nominations of those who chose to participate. If it were up to me, Controversy would be in there too...

I'll go with:
SOTT
Dirty Mind
ATWIAD

1.sign o' the times
2.parade
3.lovesexy

1. the gold experience
2. the rainbow children
3. sign o' the times

honerable mention: Emancipation & Crystal Ball

Lovesexy
1999
TRC

1. The Rainbow Children
2. The Gold Experience
3. Parade

Sign O The Times
Purple Rain
1999

Ouch, this is tough. I'd say

SOTT
Parade
Lovesexy

but honourable mentions to Purple Rain and ATWIAD - Has any artist ever produced 5 such exceptional (and varied) albums in the space of 5 years??

It was hard but I came up with these three

-Parade
-Sign o' the Times
-Lovesexy

I have been going back and listening to Prince's 80's stuff now that the commercialism and radio play has died out from memory. I forgot how great his older stuff was.

Consequently, my top three (this week)

1.Sign O The Times
2.Purple Rain (You have to admit we take this album for granted)
3.Parade, no Lovesexy, no Parade.

I understood and missed the first round...would my vote have made a difference?

On another serious note... I can never pick the best album, song or even choose between 2 albums. When I made up my mind, other songs or tracks of other album(s) start playing with my mind... this week Controversy just happens to be in my player all the time!

Purple Rain
Lovesexy
The Rainbow Children

"A hundred nights without U is murder baby, a 101 just won't do"

SIGN "O" THE TIMES
THE RAINBOW CHILDREN
LOVESEXY

I gotta get in on this...

Sign Of the Times

1999

The Gold Experience

1) Parade
2) SOTT
3) Purple rain

TRC made it 2 round 2-- woohoo!!!

My top 3 r:
1. TRC- an instant Prince classic. The ONA tour shows how great these songs are live!!!
2. Sign O' The Times- demonstrates Prince's varying musical styes-- he's a genius!!!
3. Purple Rain- the greatest soundtrack 2 a great rock movie!!! (i'm biased, of course).

"Just like the sun, the Rainbow Children rise."

-Dirty Mind
-Parade
-Sign o' the Times

My top 3 remain Lovesexy, 1999 and Sign o' the Times[/quote]
Prince appeared on the scene as a champion of outcast originality. He demonstrated for a new generation the beauty of true style and unconstrained personality, the complexity of the interplay among love and God and sexuality and -- most important -- the essentially multiracial nature of rock & roll music. He is an artist capable of altering popular consciousness in concrete ways, but Sign o' the Times seems unlikely to alter anything more profound than the face of the hit parade. Nothing wrong with that, but it's rather like the story about Jesus feeding the multitudes with miraculous loaves and fishes. Such fundamental nourishment is always appreciated. But when a full-blown feast is so obviously within Prince's capabilities, one wonders: Why doesn't he go for it?
