Purple Rain is already a classic.
"Sign O' The Times" is a definitly a classic. | |

Sign Of The Times is definitly the overlooked classic (meaning if you are not a fan). Most people would automatically say Purple Rain though. I'm back!!!!!!! | |

Im only going to respond to the topic stated where u said Musicology is a classic....
In a way I think the CONCERT is a clasic, but on the album level, it's almost like Gold Experience, and Gold was much moire entertaining. Oh..and Sign O The Times is a classic despite him being angry that time. Straight Jacket Funk Affair
Album plays and love for vinyl records. | |

"Sign O the Times" is a classic album, meaning it will stand the test of time.
Eh, Musicology, not so much. | |

The PRINCE album is a classic. I love the way it sounds. It has that recorded-in-a-garage feel to it-- for some reason.
As for musicology being a classic...  "The poets are demanding their pay..."

"For You & Prince" are truly classic Prince albums.
I played So Blue, When Were dancing close and slow for a friend, and they had no clue that it was him. | |

Dirty Mind, 1999, Purple Rain, Sign of the Times
Parade is close but it feels almost too short, 0(-> without the Kirstie Alley skits, and Around the World in a Day if the greatest b-side ever (She's Always in My Hair) was included. | |

If you'd ask the general public which are the 'classics', they'll say Purple Rain, Batman, Diamonds & Pearls and - in time - Musicology. They'll be the best known, I guess.

SOTT I agree with the above picks. I would also have to say Purple Rain because of it's popularity. | |

I dont know if this counts, but I think the Hits/B Sides is a classic in that it captures the whole decade of what is, by and large, a classic decade...
And to have a "greatest hits" span three discs, all quality is a testament to how good he really was then. Not to mention how much more could have gone into it... Things started to go a little pear shaped after that... | |
