Just out of curiosity, because I hear so many different opinions on different albums, I want to take a poll of everyone's favorite and least favorite albums.

can you give me your top 10 of favorite Prince albums?
can you give me the top 5 of least favorite albums (with Nr 1 being THE WORST Prince album in your opinion).
