For my money, Prince's nadir came with Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic and I'm so glad that he's only had one. All the other albums that divide fans are just differences of musical taste, in my mind. But Rave shines above them all as Prince at his most shit-as-fuck.

But you may think differently.

Let's compare the Prince albums that we each consider to be his lowest point, and let's compare other artists' nadirs with Prince's.

Personally, I think that Madonna's American Life CD was her nadir and Rave pisses on it from a great height.

But that's just me.

its fefreshing to see a post with the word "nadir"

but to save weeks of debate this is what will follow

rave,nps,emancipation,chaos blah blah

then a rainbow children debate quickly followd back by emancipation

then COME will get slated but as any1 on the org knows come has a big following.....blah blah

then as a red herring someone will slate parade..this will provoke numerous wtf????? and the thread will slowly die!

but enjoy!

When saw the topic, thought it was referring 2 the song "Nadeara".
was going 2 ask if anyone has seen a picture of the mysterious Nadeara (his girlfriend in 1976).
Maybe her photo is in the yearbook from Prince's high school.
