Any album that contains "Sexy MF","Love 2 The 9s","Blue Light","The Continental","Damn U","7","And God Created Woman" has to be considered a classic.Those are all top-notch songs.

I love this album!!! It would be better without any input from Tony M., however it is ten times better than his presence all over D&P. prince contains some of my all-time Prince jams including; And God Created Woman, 7, Sexy MF, Sweet Baby, Damn U, The Morning Papers and Love 2 the 9s.

Scrapes in at about number 5 for me. The segues took the shine off, and it was a little too long. Drop the segues, Arrogance, the Flow and Sacrifice Of Victor, and it would be in even stronger.

I love that Cd...it has some great compositions (Damn U, And God created Woman, Morning Papers, Sexy MF), some amazing band work arrangements....
The bad part is that Tony M has too much input. And there are some real bad songs that break the atmosphere sometimes (I wanna melt with U, Continental). The many segues are annoying also.
But overall, it´s great.

It's still a below-par Prince album. Despite the fantastic material showcased, it's still full of inconsistencies and indulgences.

This is why the whole enterprise doesn't gel as a strong Prince album.

Yep, I love this cd too. I'm not sure if it's in my top 5 Prince cd's, but I do like it a lot.

I'd look at this question and say, which albums do I consider better?

Sign O' The Times
Purple Rain
Lovesexy
1999
Parade
Dirty Mind
The Gold Experience
Controversy

It may be better overall than, say, Prince, Graffiti Bridge, D&P, C&D ATWIAD, Batman, Emancipation, For You, Rave, etc. But an argument can be made for any of those albums above prince. So I guess I don't agree with you, but "greatness" is in the eye of the particular orger.

This pertains to the "your first album is your favourite" thread.

prince was my first Prince album.

It is not in my Top 5, let alone my favourite.

I do hold a place for it in my heart as a Prince fan, it's a great record, but no it's far from my favourite.

Dont even try to compare this to Boys 2 men. Too each his own, but you might want to stick a Qtip in your and listen to this album again
