SO i have

Purple Rain
1999
Dirty Mind
Diamonds and Pearls
Parade
ATWIAD
Emancipation
Musicology

Yeah i know i need more. I really like Controversey, or the song at least as i hadn't heard the entire album but you guys decide.

U aren't a fan unless u own his greatest work. Sign O' the Times. Pity about the sound quality of the CD but it really is essential.
Alternatively U could opt for The Hits/B-sides triple album. That has the controvery single on it as well as a whole clatter of great b-sides. Only thing is it might be hard to find and might be a bit pricey.

Yeah i was really interested in that 3 cd package but it was 70 dollars (canadian) at the cd store and i was like, screw it.
But amazon has it for 50 dollars which is still pricy but easier to live with

That's right!! Lovesexy. If this wasn't top on your list... what are you waisting your time for?

Just kidding, they're all worth having for different songs, but Lovesexy is the one, through and through.

Just a quick tip for you.....if you haven't already, be sure to check out half.com. That's where I get the majority of my cds and dvds from. They have some really excellent deals.

Yikes! Puttin' the pressure on! I'd have to say, in this order, Lovesexy, The Rainbow Children, The Gold Experience. If you're a big fan of Purple Rain and 1999, The Gold Experience will prolly be the 1 u end up liking the most. Sign is also an excellent choice.

What are you fucking kidding? I think it's a commonly accepted rule that if you don't own every single album release he has put out you aren't a fan

C'mon, people. You know it's like this: no "Exodus" on your record shelf - no right to keep posting to these forums.

CO-SIGN!
If you didn't buy New Power Soul on the day of release, or find Crystal Ball in the stores, before the one you pre-ordered a year in advance (cause it wasn't going to be sold in stores) was shipped to your house... you shouldn't have the right to post in these forums.

You MUST own "Sign O The Times". His defining work, no doubt about it.

After that, pick up:

Lovesexy (try to get an import that is tracked, if possible)
The Gold Experience
prince
Controversy
The Black Album

Get "New Power Soul", "Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic" and "Batman" dead last. Those are his crappiest albums, in my opinion. All filler, very little substance (of course, I'll take a crappy Prince album almost any day over most of the stuff out there. Only NPS is truly dreadful)
