What CB disc could you not live without?

I've left my disc 2 at home cry and i'm really missing it as it contains 4 of my faves - Crucial, Calhoun, S.S. and Good Love.
Which disc couldn't you part with if it came down to it?
(I don't want to hear "all of them" if you've got the boots somewhere else)

If I had to pick one, I'd have to say Disc 1, because it contains "Crystal Ball". One of the most amazing songs ever recorded.

I have to admit that I like all CB cd's. There are a few songs I could do without, but for the most part I like all the cd's, especially The Truth.

So u mean to tell me that on all of crystal ball/truth that 1 song is the only one worth even listening too? If thats the case u really aren't a fan. Those CDs are too diverse to not like anything. Truly if u don't like at least some of the tunes u are some kinda prince fan imposter (lol). Turn in your fan card. U are banished forever!

Shouldn't there be a companion thread to this question?:
If you had to throw out 1 disc from the CB set which disc would it be?


Or is the answer too obvious??

Since I conside "The Truth" a stand alone complete album
I assume this is only about discs I II and III

Of those, Disc I is indespensible for me because of

01. Crystal Ball

and

02. Moviestar
and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

Im not including the truth with the crystal ball set.. sorry, it plays no part in it..

and just because I can live without those songs on CB doesnt mean im not a fan. I simply think they are just half baked songs that arent worth a spin.. thats all.. Sorry I dont grip to his left nut on his every action or chord. The song crystal Ball itself is amazing, like his "strawberry fields".. U cant possibly tell me the other songs that follow suit have any relevance to how important of a song that is.. The song itself is in many ways one of his best, and the other songs are CRAP compared to it.. If he would have left the other songs that were in the same era on CB it would have made sence, instead he dropped some new overdubs on some old flat tires. Im not sayin these songs are just terrible, but i mean come on, its just like a let down after the first song. No wonder he dropped The Truth in it for free.
