For me, hands down it is Lotusflower. In its' own galaxy bad.

It puts me in the mind of Billy Joel's River of Dreams in terms of the amateurish feel.

Graffiti Bridge would get second place for me.

The Gold Experience is a terrific album, but the cover disbelief

Don't jump on me for this, but I have to say Parade. It's one of my favorite albums, but I've never particularly liked the cover, he just looks weird to me there.

The Rainbow Children. An artsy fartsy cover with people made to look ugly and exaggerated.

Dan, I hate you, 'cause I love you.

How can someone so beautiful write bullshit like that?

The Gold Experience cover is his best, alongside Parade.

The font is great, the symbol with the shadow behind it is like a stamp - it has a meaning: It's not the symbol somewhere in his work, in his heart or his lyrics. It's HIM now, his music, his art, everything he was then was the symbol. THIS album is credited to prince.

Whereas the pic of him is hidden somewhere in the golden glittery colours - All that glitters ain't gold. For the first time in his life, it's not Prince, the persona, that is the guiding figure in his music. His face is hidden behind the mighty, fresh, meaningful prince. All you can see are his wet lips - 69


I think it's great.

That's easy:



I can't decide what's worse though: The Love Boat-type font or his porn actor look.

Planet Earth - like the album, but that cover!

Messiah complex or what? It just seems so against his beliefs to be doing God-like imagery

hmm


Worst album covers:

- Emancipation (tacky and cheap looking, like a bad cut'n'paste job)
- Musicology (same reason)

I'd hate on Rave too but I find that unintentionally funny, so I won't include it.

Yet it is all nothing compared to this beauty:



Damn it, that makes the "Musicology" cover look like a work of Andy Warhol!
