Prince albums for CHRISTMAS!

I know that topics like this are always on here but what PRINCE cds do you think I should get.

Until this year I wasn't a fan, and I already have these cds...
the very best of prince
rave un2 the joy fantastic
the rainbow children
diamonds and pearls
musicology

What should I get next? I was thinking EMANCIPATION just because there's 36 songs.
What 3 or 4 cds should be on my Christmas list?

For an alternate point of view, from someone who isn't pathologically hooked on "Prince - The Early Years", if you're looking for the most musical variety for your 3 or 4 CD quota, get these:

Purple Rain
SOTT
Lovesexy
Symbol

I would put Emancipation on the bottom of your list. I never listen to that cd...wasn't impressed. Dirty Mind is what hooked me back when I was young (13 or 14) and impressionable. SOTT, Lovesexy, Symbol, The Hits (with B sides) All of those would be my recommendations.

I suppose it depends on what era you prefer, but for a good overall selection
I'd say...

Purple Rain
(Prince in the mid 80's at his most commercially successful. Full of hits)

Sign O' The Times
(A mixed assortment of left-field pop, a real 'grower'. 80's fan favorite)

The Gold Experience
(might be difficult to get hold of now, but well worth it. His best 90's album)

Dirty Mind
(very short by today's standards, but a real turning point album. Very demoey)
