Most economic fallacies derive from the tendency to assume that there is a fixed pie, that one party can gain only at the expense of another.

Ten point scale:

1. Purple Rain 10- Closest thing to a perfect album.
2. SOTT 9.9 - If this was a ten album record could have been the best ever. My all time favorite.
3. 1999 9.8- Easily a definitive Prince album.
4. Black Album 8.9- Still kicks hip-hop ass any day.
5. Lovesexy 8.5 -The feeling you get when you fall in love, not with a boy or girl but the Heavens above.
6. Parade 7.0 - Prince has said that this is one of his least favorite albums... I wonder why ?
7. Batman 7.0- Huge dose of Electro-funk that is forgotten today.
8. Controversy 6.9- Fun album to dance to
9. Around The World In A Day 6.0- Prince should have sat on this album a liitle longer than what he did.Ranks with his worst ever. Paradox because it has some of the best b-sides. I wonder if Roadhouse Garden would have been a better choice? But even as one of the worse it's light years better than other artists best stuff.


Wheres Dirty Mind, it was recorded in Mar - June 1980 and released in October 1980 and it definitely has an 80s sound, surely to God you can't think its a 70s album

Dirty Mind was left off (my bad)

Dirty Mind-9.0

Hurrah i awake from yesterday
alive but the war is here to stay
so my love catherina and me
decide to take our last walk
through the noise to the sea
not to die but to be re-born
away from a life so battered and torn....
forever...

My favorite decade my any artist ever. By far.

I've included each album's place in my all-time list as well as a point system. Points are from my artistranker program and are there for relative comparison.

I'd say a comparable star rating would go as follows:

5 stars: 85+
4.5 stars: 75-85
4 stars: 65-75
3.5 stars: 55-65
3 stars: 45-55
2.5 stars: 35-45
2 stars: 25-35
1.5 stars: 15-35
1 star: 10-15
0.5 stars: 5-10
0 stars: 0-5

1999 96.3 (#1 all-time)
Lovesexy 93.7 (#2)
Sign o' the Times 91.8 (#4)
Controversy 85.4 (#32)
Parade 85.3 (#34)
Purple Rain 84.5 (#40)
Dirty Mind 80.4 (#67)
Around the World in a Day 79.0 (#78)
Batman 68.7 (#152)
The Black Album 40.9 (#353)
