It's subjective |

The Jury is out...
However I can say with certainty a large proportion of his best work remains unreleased. | |

True
Look at it this way
Bad Albums (To 4/10)
Rainbow Children Newpowersoul Chaos and Disorder Xpectation Cnote Rave 20Ten Exodus Goldnigga
Last two don't really count, so real total 7 baddies and only 4 widely available
Good Albums (5/10 or more) 4u thru to Symbol (15 including black album) Come TGE Emancipation Musicology thru MPLSound (5) - I exclude Elixir, not Prince (23 good albums)
Plus add on 3 excellent hits collections (Hits Bsides, Very Best of/Ultimate)
thats 26 good albums (Counting Hits and Emancipation/SOTT/1999 all as single albums)
Its clearly obviousd the mans good works outweigh his lesser material.
Got some kind of love for you, and I don't even know your name | |

^ Exodus should definately be taken off 'bad albums' list - it rocks! [Edited 9/9/11 22:21pm] | |

Rainbow Children is one of his worst | |

Great albums, properly released (8/10 or more) 12 albums
Dirty Mind
Bad albums, properly released (5/10 or less) 6 albums
Come
Inbetween, properly released (6/10 and 7/10) 7 albums
For You (bad ballads) | |

Exactly this. Thread should be re-titled: "In your opinion, has Prince put out more good albums than bad albums?" Just to invoke more thoughtful/meaningful discussion. | |

I'm not doing a daft list because my views on certain albums change all the time.
But I will say that there has been more shite than sugar since 2000 (ish).

This is the correct answer. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

I think he only has a few bad album. However, every album (with the exception of Kamasutra) has some good trax on it.
My worst picks: Kamasutra N.E.W.S. New Power Soul 20Ten Chaos and Disorder Planet Earth [Edited 9/10/11 9:31am] **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

With certainty? Based on what? Crystal Ball and Old Friends 4 Sale? Yeah, I don't think so. | |
| - E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
Based on the hundreds of unreleased tracks that are circulating....so I know this for a fact... | |

Absolutely the truth. Even his not so good albums are more listenable than most of the stuff that gets put out by almost all other artists these days. | |

The point I was trying to make was not that my list of Bad albums would please everyone including these fans of less popular works like Exodus, but it was to prove that the number of good albums far exceeds the bad ones. I only decided 4 were truly bad and did not count Exodus as it was not available. I am sorry Freaker or whoever you are, Exodus is a very weak album when compared with TGE and its contemporaries.
I also forget Crystal ball as a good album, taking the most conservative total to 24 good verses 4 bad (So for every bad album Prince released he countered it with 6 good ones) Got some kind of love for you, and I don't even know your name | |

Why is it you have given several albums with 7/10 a bad mark, and yet the truth gets a good, yet its also 7, to me really 7/10 is pretty darn good. Evening calling a 5/10 bad, is pretty extreme. Got some kind of love for you, and I don't even know your name | |
