If you had to pick one album from all the people Prince has worked with ie..former band members, associated bands or artists who have been on his record labels. What would album would you choose? We've got the likes of The Time, Sheila E, Wendy And Lisa, George Clinton, Chaka Khan, Larry Graham(cmon GCS2000 lets hear it!), Jill Jones, Taja Sevelle...theres loads but you gotta pick one only.

I go for Wendy And Lisa Eroica simply because the songwriting is superb and equals anything Prince is capable of and the playing is stunning. I still play it regularly. More than a lot of Prince stuff.

Pandamonium by the Time. That album is too funky!!!

The Time's first album.

I love Jill Jones' 1987 album - the sound of the whole thing and the songs chosen for it were just perfect to me.

Wendy and Lisa's Eroica.

What Time is it?- My favorite album of all time

Eroica is one of my all-time favourites but if I had to pick one associates album with heavy Prince involvement, it's "Jill Jones".
The Family, Sheila E. (1987), Mavis Staples ... all good & typical Prince sound albums, but Jill Jones simply is the best.

MAZARATI.

you can't argue with songs as quality as "she's just that kind of lady", "100 mph", "strawberry lover", and "suzy"

Carmen Electra !

the time - pandemonium (all there albums)

the family album

carmen' album

jill jones album

w n' l - eroica

on n' on n' on n' on !!!!!

THE ANSWER IS AS FOLLOWS!

GEORGE CLINTON - HEY MAN SMELL MY FINGER! )

another good shout !

madhouse/8

Might have to go with Eric Leeds "Times Squared" - it's aged much better than either Madhouse joint.

The Time - Icecream Castles
Wendy & Lisa - Fruit At The Bottom

My vote also goes to this album. I also rank at the top Sheila E' first two, The Time's and the Family's.

Not a bad song on that entire wonderful album.

Very hard to pick ONE. The contenders are:

1. Sheila E - THe Glamorous Life
2. The Family
3. The Time - What time Is It
4. Jill Jones


If I could only have one on a desert island I'd go with Sheila's. although The Family is probably the best musically.

I really like Ingrid Chavez's album. It was good to hear something different than the usual funk jams.

....in a pool of kissy fish...

The Family.

But there are so many other good ones...

Those are all good albums but how come no one has given props to Mavis Staples?

I like The Voice OK but the first one (can't recall the title at the moment) with Jaguar on it was the shit. I wish I could find that one on CD but I don't think it exists.

yeah, i have that one on tape somewhere...it's okay. i listened to it a few times. i really love her voice, but i thought the production on the album was kinda plastic. never heard 'the voice' - i always wanted to hear her take on 'positivity'.
