PrintableGo for the classics before anything else prob. starting with SOTT. D&P is actually a decent suggestion since it's got abatch of radio friendly hits even if it is rather dated overall. Ease in nice and slow the you can take the full girdth  | |

So many to choose from, so get the Album list and start adding some to Birthday, Christmas wish lists etc. Just make sure you get Dirty Mind or Controversy first Why would you say get those over SOTT or the self-titled album? Especially for a newbie. I would think a newbie would love the self-titled and SOTT a lot more than DM or Controversy. If a newbie could learn to love SOTT and "Prince", then they can get into almost every other Prince album before and after. Probably because that's where I started - Nothing wrong with that  | |

Over time, get all of them.
For your next, I'd say "Sign o' the times" as well. Maybe even get the DVD. Then I'd work backwards for a while. "Dirty Mind" for example. | |

vivid said: Imago said: I'm going to be completely honest with you. To get a true appreciation of Prince and why he's so brilliant, you have to listen to his 80's output sequentially. Listen to each album from beginning to end and try and 'get' what he's doing. He's 80's albums were not afterthoughts. They were brilliantly constructed artistic statements, which just happened to have great 'singles' in them. So.... Dirty Mind Controversy (1999 & PR you have) Around The World in A Day Parade (one of my all time favorites) Sign of The Times (this is considered his most essential album. I love it) LoveSexy (and if you can find the Black Album, listen to each as if they're a set) ----- After LoveSexy, I don't think it's necessary to listen to them in sequence. I would go with: The Symbol Album (quirky, uneven and brilliant) Come The Gold Experience (one of my favorites) Emancipation (one of my favorites--and cheap now if you can find it) 3121 <--his most radio friendly album this decade lotusflow3r (a real bargain) The problem with Prince is that even his bad albums have really neat songs or moments in them. And all of his albums are different from each other. Even the often criticized Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic has moments in it that are great (I love the vocals in TGRES). Just my 2 cents Just do as he says. Ditto Straight Jacket Funk Affair
Album plays and love for vinyl records. | |

darkhorse72 said: Hey guys,
I'm a relatively new Prince fan, and I was wondering if any of you had suggestions on which album I should get next. I have two of the classics Purple Rain and 1999, and I also have Musicology. I'm sort of leaning towards Diamonds and Pearls. What do you think? Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks! Even though Sign 'O' The Times is not one of my favorite albums, that's the next album you should get. Hell, get all the albums Peace ... & Stay Funky ...

I a couple of iTunes gift cards for Christmas, and since Prince albums are so hard to find in the store aside from the two that I already have, I knew exactly how I would spend these cards. I would prefer to actually own the albums, but this will do, at least for now anyway. I ended up going with Dirty Mind, Around the World in a Day, Sign 'O' the Times, and Parade. That should definitely keep me busy for quite a while. Thanks again for your help and I look forward to digesting these albums. I'll do so in order, even though I am skipping on in Controversy, which will probably be my next purchase. Thanks again!! Very well chosen. Next get Lovesexy and The Black Album. | |

I still suggest that u get SOTT on cd. Mostly because the iTunes version has the edited version of ICNTTPOYM. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

Do not ever start buying bootlegs. Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill... If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry. | |

Get Chaos & Disorder. Without a doubt!
It's actually one of my favs (solely because the high presense of GUITARS). | |

I'd go for his latest, Lotusflower, then work backwards.
