Sign O' The Times
tho be warned, this disc is in desperate need of remastering. So I'll apologise on it's behalf for sounding quiet and a bit flat (the original vinyl sounded much better...honest) | |

Next CD for you to get has got to be Sign of the Times.
I would definitely recommend: Gold Experience Parade Emancipation Crystal Ball I'll probably have a couple little sexies on the stand-by, and we don't want to upset them, do we? So you just glide by me and say...what? | |

"1999" is my all time favorite. Andy is a four letter word. | |

SOTT and 1999 ...FAST!
PS...make sure your 1999 CD has the crucial DMSR song... Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind. | |

First, U need to determine if you are one of us.
Go out and rent Graffiti Brdige (the movie). After watching it from beginning to end, if you still want to buy another Prince album, you have passed the test and may proceed to buying SOTT. | |

You definitely need all of these:
1. SOTT (even though it really needs remastering) 2. Lovesexy (mainly a spiritual thing) 3. 1999 (long in places... but funkay!) 4. Dirty Mind (the album that revolutionized the sound of R&B music in the 1980s... though the Hits album picks up a lot of it) 5. The Gold Experience (might be out of print, and the sound is a bit "dated," but it's still a must-have IMO) 6. The Rainbow Children (I'll get flamed for saying it, but it's brilliant musically, and if you just ignore the lyrics and enjoy it, you'll love it) 7. One Night Alone... Live! (A great tour, great sound quality, and the only live release by one of our era's greatest live performers). And once you've tired of all these, there's still another thousand songs to go, especially if you start going beyond released material! No Candy 4 Me | |

I'd recommend starting with these:
Around the world in a day Parade SOTT Lovesexy Black album In my opinion, that's the very best stuff then, Controversy Dirty Mind For you The Gold experience Honestly just get all the official releases, there's really not a bad one there. | |

I'd say Controversy and 1999!!!! IT AIN'T ABOUT THE TRIPPIN' BUT THE SEXUALITY, TURN IT UP!!! | |

The Rainbow Children. And I don't care what any of y'all got to say 'bout that.

I'm really surprised no one mentioned ATWIAD. That, Parade, and Sign would be my votes. I guess the responders to this thread aren't the huge fans of the psychadelic era that I am. I'm not sure you really need controversey or 1999, as the best songs are covered on the hits, although you really are missing something not having the full version of controversey. | |

"The Hits/The B-Sides" doesn't even scratch the surface on these two albums. All it covers is the singles. It contains none of the best stuff like "Let's Work", "Lady Cab Driver", "D.M.S.R.", "Automatic", "Private Joy", or "Sexuality". Andy is a four letter word. | |
