Not so many. Some people are into them easy generated thirteen in a dozen kind of songs like he released on The Chocolate Invasion and The Slaughterhouse. If you liked Emancipation and Musicology, then these are your albums. If your favourite Prince era is 1983/1988, then leave it cuz it will bore the hell outa ya.

I loved Van Gogh. Adored Splash, but the rest of the songs just don't stand out too much. These were Vault songs anyways.

Of the latter internet released Glasscutter and Silver Tongue stand out, but not too much. They were just exciting to me becuz they showed some of Prince's recent work, fresh. And at least a bit more honest sounding than the two albums I just mentioned.

Then, from all the live stuff I must admit that the guitar part of Days of Wild sounded like it should have had the entire song in front of it instead of Prince's bragging that the NPGmc is the bomb. But the guitar part is just that; the bomb.

And last I looooove My Old Bitties, that silly comical skit he did.

That's about it.

I think NEWS is spellbounding (but that is sold in some stores). This and Xpectation is probably the most adventurous internet releases from Prince.

What i do not understand is Prince's lack of fresh material on his site. I mean, if he records a kewl tune not meant for any project, a tune he really likes, why not put it up in the club.
Or just a rehearsel, a jam, anything fresh.

Lots of people forget that back in the day James Brown was a singles artist; he would release a tune every two or three months.
Same with Miles Davis, but he just recorded entire albums. That was a way to play the market, keep your fans satisfied and give them something to collect.

I wish Prince would make his club somewhat more exciting, fresh.

there were plenty of exciting moments to me: when the entire RAINBOW CHILDREN album was pre-released, and also the XPECTATION album at new year. but i do agree, it's a little too quiet now.
yes SIR!

My favorite is probably "Jukebox With A Heartbeat". I loved many of them High, Van Gough, My Medallion, Splash, etc., but I love the concept and groove of Jukebox.
