Wow -- it's amazing how many votes The Black Album is getting. To each their own, but it's one of my favorite Prince albums.
For me, the worst album of the 1980s was Lovesexy, and the worst of the 1990s was New Power Soul. Between the two, NPS has earned my vote as the worst. | |

Naw, Batman is funky!!!!! And I can't believe someone said Parade  . Just when you think something is common fact... Anyway I don't even know how anyone could come to the conclusion Parade was Prince's worst album of the 80's. | |

adorable2 said: Naw, Batman is funky!!!!! And I can't believe someone said Parade . Just when you think something is common fact... Anyway I don't even know how anyone could come to the conclusion Parade was Prince's worst album of the 80's.Because of two songs....."Sometimes It Snows In April" which reminds me of folk music (yuk!), and "Do U Lie" which sounds like classical (yuk!). In the movie "Under The Cherry Moon", the old man is snoring on "Do U Lie"....I can see why.  "Mountains" was listenable but it was not that great either.
"Parade" as a whole was too weird and spaced out, except for "Kiss" (the opening single that fooled everyone into thinking the "old Prince" was back). "Around The World In A Day" was different and I eventually grew to love it over the years, but "Parade" was the album that said Prince was gone on a weird trip and was never coming back. "Parade" has its moments though, with "Girls and Boys", "New Position", and "Anotherloverholenyohead" which are great songs but weak in comparison to his earlier work.

I can't believe you're all mentioning The Black Album...
Worst 80s: Graffiti Bridge (even though I love the P songs on it) Worst 90s: New Power Soul (it too has some saving graces) Worst overall: New Power Soul | |

Parade, Controversy, Dirty Mind can't believe it...Parade was 1 of his best...
4 me it's Emancipation in the 90ies (especially the boring 2nd disc) and hummmm.....not easy 4 the 80ies..but I think it's Batman. 2 much popular music 4 Prince. But it got it's moments | |

Batman (reluctantly) vs Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic
Rave is the worst out of the two by far. | |

You aren't allowed to say anything else to this thread than "Batman" for the 80s and "Newpower Soul" for the 90s. That's not even a matter of personal opinion, it's just a fact . Everybody in the Prince camp knows it! The truth has been spoken. Now someone lock this thread quickly! How can anyone say Dirty Mind for chrissakes? That was the ultimate new wave-funk experience. And friggin' Parade is a masterpiece! It was a natural evolution from Around The World In A Day with it's classical inspired soundscapes and psychedelic leanings. To like one and not the other doesn't make sense. | |

The worst 80's album is Controversy, and worst in the 90's was Rave, I'd say Rave, because the 80's at least had artistic consistency. All you others say Hell Yea!!  | |

Frankly, you're a tasteless mentalist. I'd write an eyeball food 3000 word essay on Parade's greatness, but it'd be wasted on you. You just don't 'get' Prince, andy. Every day I wake up and thank fuck I'm me. . [Edited 10/7/04 16:29pm] | |

OK everybody puts down Graffitti bridge alot but what if prince released two albums for graffitti bridge. One with just his songs on it and the 2nd one with other artist on it. Would all u still hate it????? I like graffitti bridge but like all u when I pop it in I just want 2 hear prince. Shake is a pretty cool song but like I said b-4 I just want to hear prince. thieves in the temple, can't stop this feeling I got, question of u, elephants & flowers, new power generation are all very cool funky songs!!!!! | |

WTF???
Calling out the Black Album? One of his best, anyone who speaks of it as the worst should grow an ear. Worst album of the 80s if it is the 80s is Bman album. 90s is an even draw with every album released. 2000 decade, Musicology is best. Lets hope he gets better. | |

My choices are: Worst 1980s album: "Parade" vs. Worst 1990s album: "New Power Soul" Worst of the two decades: "New Power Soul" I can't BELIEVE you think "Parade" is his worst 80's album. LOL..that's funny. How bout Batman being the worst 80's album. Worst 90's: I think I blocked all of them out. Graff Bridge had it's good moments. I will do today what you won't, so tomorrow I can do what you can't. | |
