POLL - pick your best 3 albums

I am trying an Xperiment. I wanted to see out of all the orgers out there what was the favorite top 3 prince albums...

Its easy, all you have to do is put a number next to the ones you like. so 1 is best and 3 is 3rd best, etc..

also, if you want, please add sex and age.

It will be interesteing to see the results and the types of people pick depending on sex and their age as well... I am predicting mostly males over 30+ on the site and albums from 1982-1988 will feature predominantly as favorites with recent trilogy musicology/3121/PE featuring as second or third favorites...

Hopefully the thread doesnt die and it will be a (near) decisive factor on what the majority consider their favs..

It can be in any color or font you like as long as the result is clear to me.
Also, try not to rubbish or contest someone else's choices and please keep chat to a minimum as Im only really trying to get the statistics for this one.. (call me a nerd ) .

Also, please no duplicates.. I will check anyway but it only ruins it for everyone!! Thanks and Peace to all!

PS - It would be nice if this was a sticky, but Im not moderator and I understand there are probably too many stickies right now.. I may give it a "bump" every now and then though..

PPS - Also let me know if Ive missed an album (I dont think I have) or got any dates wrong. I have obviously left off compilations, greatest hits, and his participation as a writer or musician, although I have added NPS as I consider this a Prince album and an essential part of the Prince collection!

Great idea! If you don't mind, I added a few albums you left out and changed some of the incorrect release dates.

"I'm a lover, not a haitcher"- Pandurito

Thats ok, i guess i left out those not on general release, but CB, truth, CI, Slaughterhouse, etc are legitimate additions.

My fav 3 are;

1 - Sign "O" The Times

2 - Gold Experience

3 - Lovesexy

I had to add in "the vault" cause it wasn't listed
#3 was a toss up between 1999 and the black album....but on any given day it could also be batman, come or the symbol album.

This is a POLL!!! Post age and gender orgers! No one really cares how old anyone is. At least I don't.....
Maybe offering to raffle a free gift certificate to Target, for the responders with all the data posted, will be an incentive?
