any albums u think are not worth having?

Hey, I just want to know if anyone here thinks there is a Prince album that is not worth having. I read some harsh criticism of some of his albums, some of it true, but even albums like New Power Soul and Rave, aren't they worth having

Some of his albums are worth having if you are into collecting all his stuff. If you only want to get stuff that's actually worth listening to, you can pass on shit like 1999: New Masters.

Honesty, the only one I could really use to pick my teeth is Karmasutra, but even that came with 4 other pretty good CDs!

I don't like N.E.W.S., but I wouldn't tell anyone it's not worth having.

You're way off mark. There's at least half an album's worth of great stuff on there, which is more than can be said for some other albums, IMO.


It really depends how far down the rabbit hole you wanna go. If you're happy just having the hits and then some, then there's no need to get everything, but if you want the complete picture, there's no need to miss a single album, including the major related artists releases, which fit the puzzle just as much as the 'Prince' releases IMO.

Even the worst Prince albums have one or two highlights.

Very Best of Prince....it's just a rehash of greatest hits. If you have all the "essential" albums (SOTT, PR, 1999, etc) you'll have all those songs anyway.

Read my cousin's graphic novels, The Changers.
