Prince, Controversy or ATWIAD?

I still need to buy some albums but I can't buy them all at once.

Chaos and Disorder, Batman, Come are also lacking, but I've decided that I will buy Prince, Controversy or ATWIAD first.

Which one do you like the most?

Well my favourite album is Controversy, but I'd say get ATWIAD next.

Knowing a bit about your musical taste from the posts and comments
I've seen from you around here, I think that you'll most likely be
most enarmoured with "Around The World In A Day".

Even if it was just for "Condition of the Heart" love


A good second choice is probably "Come" since it has some pretty
cool songs and is linked by a rather dark theme of sex, lust and
very bleak loneliness. I don't know, it just has a rather lonely
atmosphere -great album.

You should go in order:


Prince
Contoversy
ATWIAD


Going in order will allow you to hear his growth as an artist

First half of "Controversy" is good - second half lets it down.

"Prince" album is patchy, but the last time I listened to it (about nine years ago!) I really enjoyed it.

"Around The World in a Day" is excellent - very varied, very hippie-ish in its sound, but nothing like anything he'd done before or since. It's one of my very favourites.

CHAOS AND DISORDER ...THAT ALBUM REALLY SUCK BIG TIME.
THAT WAS HIS LAST ALBUM FROM WARENER BROTHERS.

SO I THINK HE JUST PUT SOMETHING OUT THAT WAS BAD.

PRINCE FAN 4 LIFE,
SOME PEOPLE--THOSE WHO THINK IT'S EVER THEIR PLACE TO CHANGE SOMEONE--WILL FIND NEW "FAULTS" WHEN OLD ONES GET "FIXED".

You have a point there...but... I've discovered Prince by going to a NPS-concert (don't remember the exact name of the tour right now). I bought NPS first lol , then the hits, then Purple Rain, Diamonds and Pearls, For you (and after that many more)

So the chronology has been fucked up from the beginning of my Prince-voyage. lol
