Top Ten Prince albums

I realize that Prince is actually making headlines with upcoming new music, but I always like to see what people's favorites are, so instead of ranking all the albums (which I'm sure someone will do once "20Ten" comes out), what are your favorite ten studio releases (offical, not boots). Just wondering.

Mine:

Sign O The Times

1999

Controversy

Prince

Purple Rain

LoveSexy

The Black Album

The Gold Experience

Come

3121

Good choices (Black Album v Parade, much as I love them both, Black Album rates higher for me)

"Small Club"? Boot? Not that I'm thread police. I just never heard of it if it's offical. If it's a boot, I can only get SO deep.

Wow. It's interesting to me how many of you list Parade on your list. I rarely, if ever, listen to that album in its entirety. There are about four songs that I really love on it, but the rest only get a listen when the P smartlist is on shuffle.

Anyway, my 10 (today) are (in no particular order):

1999

Lovesexy

Rainbow Children

Lotusflow3r

SOTT

Purple Rain

Diamonds and Pearls

One Nite Alone (piano/vocal)

Controversy

prince

Honorables - 3121, Come, Musicology, Graffiti Bridge (minus the guest artists)
