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! 35/M 1978 For You 1979 Prince 1980 Dirty Mind 1981 Controversy 1983 1999 1984 Purple Rain 1985 Around the World in a Day 1986 Parade 3 1987 Sign 'O' the Times 1987 The Black Album 1988 Lovesexy 1 1989 Batman 1990 Graffiti Bridge 1991 Diamonds and Pearls 1992 The Love Symbol Album 1994 Come 1995 Gold Experience 1996 Chaos & Disorder 2 1996 Emancipation 1998 New Power Soul 1999 Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic 1999 Crystal Ball 2001 The Rainbow Children 2003 N.E.W.S 2004 Musicology 2005 3121 2007 Planet Earth Yeah, I know, I picked all of the commercial ones...well, what can I say, those were the best three, LOL. 1978 For You 1979 Prince 1980 Dirty Mind 1981 Controversy 1983 1999 1984 Purple Rain 1985 Around the World in a Day 1986 Parade 3 1987 Sign 'O' the Times 1987 The Black Album 1988 Lovesexy 1 1989 Batman 1990 Graffiti Bridge 1991 Diamonds and Pearls 1992 The Love Symbol Album 1994 Come 1995 Gold Experience 1996 Chaos & Disorder 2 1996 Emancipation 1998 New Power Soul 1999 Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic 1999 Crystal Ball 2001 The Rainbow Children 2003 N.E.W.S 2004 Musicology 2005 3121 2007 Planet Earth Hi there..

[Edited 7/18/07 7:53am] Hi Aloiso, you are not left out, I just thought people might want to know what the average was with your (extreme) age in there and without your (extreme) age.. you may well be that age, but I dont want to distort any stats with extremes! cheers! | |

Im still surprised that ATWIAD fares poorly as well as Planet Earth (being a new record I would have thought there would have been more excitement). Notable eclusions: The Black Album Musicology For You (considering Prince is doing strongly) Albums like TRC, Controversy, Come are popular (as people's third favorites!) Girls seemed to like Purple Rain a lot, Boys (and no sex), SOTT. Still not enough data to give anything conclusive in terms of generation or gender favorites - Please keep voting! PS - For those that think age (generation) or gender is not important. The reasons for this data are simple.... I want to know who likes what and from which generation that came from.. For me, I grew up in the 1999/Purple Rain era, so I love this stuff and stuff released in the preceding years... [Edited 7/18/07 8:32am] | |

BUMP.
This is a cool experiment...thanks for doing this! I'm actually very surprised that some people are having a hard time sharing their age! One would think that given the anonymity of the internet and our common interest in Prince, it wouldn't be a big deal. Someone earlier made a comment about how age doesn't matter, but it does if you are trying to compile statistics! 
Keep the experiment going! I'm starting to feel bad that I didn't give poor Batman my #3...but it's got "The Arms of Orion" on there! YECK! Keith/Kacey | |
