HnR phase 1 hands down. I like it, but easily his worst album.

The only exceptionally bad album is THE TRUTH.

The truth is it is pure hell. Utter rubbish and proves Prince can't do everything!

These are the only albums I find to be boring But they do include some exceptional tracks amongst them!!!


Musicology
3121
Planet Earth
Plectrumelectrum
Art Official Age

N.E.W.S = Muzak for the most part

Indigo Nights = so many other inspiring aftershow gigs he could have put out so why this one?

IMO all other Prince albums have enough high points to lift them above a "worst" category (ie. They are not "stinkers") but there are a few weaker albums for sure.

I'm impressed with your courage in listing Dirty Mind as a worst album. Makes me brave enough to say that Prince's first two albums, For You and Prince, never really impressed me. I listen to them and think they are ok but nothing really captures my ears or my mind.

for you has never been a fave just from a songwriting perspective. Prince i have always loved, dirty mind didn't have great songs or great production..






“When u were mine “ is a classic song.
“Dirty Mind” is where Prince started the foundation
for his own sound.
A classic album

Does Gold Nigga count?

If not, the Symbol ablum. I have never been able to get into it. And I've tried.

It’s a funny thing but a lot of Prince albums aren’t great. Some are pretty dire, many are patchy but with the occasional, unparalleled brilliance and some are just imperfect diamonds. None are perfect, perhaps Dirty Mind or ATWIAD the best?.
And looking at the responses here, opinions are very divided.
If an album has 7 total turkeys but 2 of the top 20 bestest ever Prince songs, how does it fare in an overall opinion?
I don’t ever listen to The Rainbow Children except when I have some new headphones and I use 1+1+1=3 to test the bass on the first 30 seconds or so. But it has some tunes that are ok.

Not to hijack a thread, just an honest question here, do many people listen to albums as a whole nowadays? From virtually day one of my music listening life I have made my own compilations. Do I really want to sit through 8 minutes of Temptation when I could listen to She’s Always in My Hair?
Perhaps Prince (and most of the music industry) lost its way in making a cohesive musical collage that would be a complete album...

I never listen to Rave, NEWS, Rainbow Children or One Night Alone live.

I see no redeeming value in MplSound.

I’d have to say it’s the absolute worst Prince album by FAR!

Well aware of the definition thank you very much and I stick by my comment. For the most part NEWS is boring background/elevator music.

Hell no!!

The entire 90’s output minus The Truth and Come can be on the worst list, but MPLSound tops everything the 90’s can throw at it.

Come music such an amazing album, I have no idea why some of u are hating this fine album worship

I love HnR Phase 1 as well, many excellent songs, actually I love them all except the opener, song 1 is terrible, the rest is fine.

Art Official Age is wonderful, Clouds and Way Back Home, and all the rest actually I love all of the songs..


Worst:

HnR Phase 2, this could be the worst P album ever imho, such a boring album, only 1 good song. zzz

3121, and Planet Earth those 2 are so bad as well sad

I stand corrected on the "Reflection" song (Totally forgot about that) His performance of that song with Wendy on the Tavis Smiley show was among my fave. The album is still a least favorite of mine though.

It might just be Hot Pants sped up but its a great track! I suppose its the kind of thing Bruno Mars does these days, self consciously retro tributes, at least the lyrics fit the song.
