TRC = B (Would be an A except for the "voice")
One Nite Alone (studio) = B+ (One of my favourites)
One Nite Alone (Live) = C (has it's moments but sounds really plastic)
N.E.W.S = D (Some decent moments, but who could really listen to this more than few times?)
Musicology = F (On of his worse albums)
3121 = B (What Musiclogy should have been)

1. 3121 B+
uneven? very... but the first prince album i have really liked since TGE

2. Musicology C+
well... not great, but a step in a better direction

3. One Night Alone C-
the religious content REALLY pissed me off, and not big on the arrangements of many of the older songs. listened to it once, became a very expensive coaster.

4. The Rainbow Children D+
very conflicted on this one. i love the smooth and jazzy sound of the actual music, but HATE the preaching and DESPISE the vader voice, which i cant understand more often than not. this album is such wasted potential, it frusterates me.

5. NEWS F
i listen to it, because it is good for helping me get to sleep at ngiht, and no, i ma not being a smartass.

Um... The usual ones: Parade, Dirty Mind, Sign O' The Times, Purple Rain. They're all As. 1999 and Lovesexy would be Bs. Graffiti Bridge would be an F.

But I also have a soft spot for Newpower Soul. I'd give it a C-.

OK....Here goes.....

1. The Rainbow Children - Z - If I wanted Preaching too I would go to church, Short of 1+1+1=3 and She Loves Me For ME - This album should be condemned to the Bargain Bucket
2. One Night Alone - D - Sorry Prince, But I wish you had been alone.....
3. Musicology - B - A great attempt that fell down at the last minute, The opening track promises sooo much.....Then until Cinnamon Girl and Reflection it just drops to the floor.....
4. NEWS- B - I like this, because it is different - Not great just something daringly different.
5. 3121- A- I love this, not just cuz its new....I can see me listening to this in 5 / 10 years and tapping my arthiritic hands and feet to the beat lol
