No point in me making a list like this, because I generally agree with you. I don't think AOA stand head and shoulders above all his other recent releases, but I sure prefer it to Batman and GB. So I'd put it at 11 or 12 or something.

I'd say most of his released albums are better than GB. A bit too much thrown together. It has some of his best songs if you count on one hand. The rest is not my cup of tea at all. And even though Batman is kinda Prince light party album, it does have its own sound, making it easy to listen through as a whole. Not many classics, but a nice feel good 80s album.

I think this rank is a nonsense. I love NEWS, I love Parade, I love The Truth. Which is better?

No one. Those albums don't play in the same league.

I love NEWS for completely different reasons from those I Love Parade.
I can say, talking about Prince pop album, AOA is one of the best from a long long time.

Nobody will.

I remember when i used to do stuff like this. I used to rank my Star Wars figures. The cool ones stood at the front. Might have been 1983 the last time i did that.

'

I rank my music based on how i'm feeling or mood. Same with artists. They rotate, i might go months not listening to some acts i really like, then i'll binge on them.

Agrer with this. Also a bit too soon to rank it against the others, considering it's so new that most of us don't even have an official copy yet biggrin
