Hi again!

Condorcet Album Poll: Come

This is the next installment in a series of polls ranking the songs on each album officially released by Prince or O+>. The goal of this project is to determine which tracks should be included in a final poll to determine the overall top 25 Prince songs in the opinion of his fans.

For those of you who haven’t been following the polls, these are different than the usual “best song” threads in that they combine the preferences of all the voters into an overall list.

I am going through these in the same order that they were ranked in the earlier poll of the best Prince albums. Now's the time of Prince's second album, Prince. Only 9 songs to rank.

Please don’t discuss the preliminary results or campaign for your favorite song(s) until the poll is closed. I plan to close the poll on Tuesday, but I may close it early if the preliminary results are discussed on this site. This is to make sure the poll is as accurate as possible.

Up to 28 votes now. Keep going!

29 votes. Only one vote in 4 hours! Come on, have your say!

Up to 37 votes. Still two hours left to vote!

So, the poll is closed. The "fast" numbers, whether pop, funk or rock, have won here, with the four ballads not getting so much love...

Next poll is Emancipation! Hard work!

I forgot to change the thread title, so you may not have noticed that the results are available.

What do you think? I mostly agree with them. In my opinion, Prince wasn't still great with "slow" stuff, but the "fast" tunes here, whether rock, pop or funk, are amazing.
