Which Prince albums would you give 5 stars out of 5

Now we have dealt with the 2 star or less stuff, what Prince albums would you give a full 5 star rating too (5 out of 5 stars). And your 4 star and 4 and a half star albums for good measure.

Me

1999 - 5 stars

Parade - 5 stars

Sign o the Times - 5 stars

Lovesexy - 5 stars

The Hits/Bsides - 5 stars

Dream Factory (Unreleased) - 5 stars

Dirty Mind 4.5 stars

Purple Rain 4.5 stars

Black Album 4.5 stars

Lovesymbol 4.5 stars

Come 4.5 stars

Controversy 4 stars

Diamonds and Pearls 4 stars

The Gold Experience 4 stars

Emancipation 4 stars

Crystal Ball 4 stars

3121 4 stars

Prince Ultimate 4 stars

Mplsound/Lotusflow3r - 4 stars

Got some kind of love for you, and I don't even know your name

Wow....5/5 being absolutely perfect, not one bum note or borderline filler track....tough one...

...there aren't that many albums out there that achieve this sort of perfection, let alone Prince ones. But for me, the only one that is flying at 100% throughout is Purple Rain. Sounds obvious but it really is all killer, no filler...every track on it is spot on.

Lots of others come close though, 4.9, 4.8, etc...they just have the odd moment or two that doesnt quite work for me....still great though! biggrin

Dirty Mind,Controversy,1999,Sign O' the Times,and Emancipation*and Lotus/Mpls/Elixer. I consider these to be filler free and flawless. (Emancipation is not flawless and filler free but it was long time that I enjoyed majority of a Prince album. I thought that he was done, thus a 5)

Sorry I should have clarified. 5/5 isd not 100% perfect and flawless, but any thing that can be rounded up from 9/10 or 90% and higher, so to me an album that gets 4.6/5 would be a five star album. Usually these albums will have only the most trivial imperfections, like a good song (Ie: Darling Nikki on Purple Rain) on a great albums.

So if these albums you mention have those marks, mention them:-D

Got some kind of love for you, and I don't even know your name
