1999
LotusFlow3r The Gold Experience Just to start the awakening to Prince fandom cause those are the ones that give a great look or listen into the phenomenon of PRN!!! | |

Ok, since 2000:
3121 Planet Earth Lotusflow3r Three albums that show Prince's range. You're phrasing "one album since 2000" is misleading, I initially thought like a previous poster that I only had to pick one album since 2000. [Edited 5/4/09 5:49am] [Edited 5/4/09 5:51am] | |

I would definitely go with a live album - Prince should be experienced live! So that would be One Nite Alone! | |

For those picking LotusFlow3r as one, keep in mind that the thread is about introducing a wannabe Prince fan to his music. Prince makes a wide variety of music. It would be proper to give them both LotusFlow3r and Mplsound as a double cd and let them pick out the styles of music that they like. It would be unintentionally biased to give someone LotusFlow3r without Mplsound or ,vice versa, to give someone Mplsound without Lotusflow3r.
Btw, if by listing Lotusflow3r, you mean all 3 cds, then my bad. I was only talking about LotusFlow3r, the single disc. [Edited 5/4/09 10:43am] [Edited 5/4/09 10:44am] |

I would say to go all the way back to the late 1970's, why would I do otherwise. So far I've enjoyed it and need it all. Without limitations...Prince is amazing and I am greedy. Love Lotusflow3r and have overdosed twice. So much music, he is amazing. Almost too much music...I just bit my tongue. Loved One Nite Alone (both versions), loved the Black album, Musiclogy, loved loveSexy, loved For You, Prince and Dirty Mind. Did I forget Controversy, Oh I loved Around the World in a Day and Grafitti Bridge (but not the title song). Loved Chaos and Disorder, Parade and yes I even loved Planet Earth. Loved 1999...wonder how he knew these things in 1982...who knows. And Sign O the Times?...loved it!! I love the way he shreds on guitar, tickles the ivories and handles the drums. I love his love songs...they make me feel things. I like him dirty and clean, depends on my mood. I would tell a wannabe to listen to all of his music. Limits don't work for a man like this man! If I could send him one message it would be "Thank you and don't stop" For the record I adore the heels...he is a beautiful man. A beautiful and talented man...I wonder what planet he's from. I'd tell a wannabe to start anywhere and go backwards or move forward. They will find something. Did I mention Rave unto the Joy...there is more but my fingers are tired now. | |

Yes...we long time fans know this...we are trying to hook a new fan into getting everything...
LotusFlow3r...we know would make it when the fan got hooked. "The Lion Sleeps Tonight... | |

since 2000? that sucks   . j/k. i guess:
lotus flow3r (cuz it's his most recent and 2 or 3 joint for the price of one  )
3121 (most accesible and finest one, imo )
ultimate prince 
no one i know wants to be a prince fan though . me and this kid i work with are always arguing about who's better (mj or prince ). everyone we ask always says mj and i'm always having to defend p's heterosexuality  . they can all eat a dick  life's a bitch, but god forbid the bitch divorce me...

well considering if they are a "wannabe" fan. then they wouldn't like all the obscure stuff prince writes like we do.
so i'd have to go the B.S. route and say The hits/B sides Purple Rain And lotusflow3r/mplsound because it's his newest oh but since 2000's Then prince ultimate The very best of Prince and loutsflow3r and then i'd say don't subscribe to the website, u'll get mad eventually [Edited 5/5/09 1:56am] | |
