What is THE Prince trilogy? If you had to pick three back-to-back Prince albums that would be your FAVORITE Prince time/sound/era which would they be? Remember they have to be back-to-back.
Mine is Sign of the Times/The black album (ok I know it was relesed in 1994 but since it was recorded in 1997 and just about to be relesed and was bootleged I think it counts!)/Lovesexy. This is my Prince trilogy!!! | |

Co-sign It is not only my favorite trilogy, but it also represents the breadth of Prince's musical range. This period (arguably) has more memorable live performances than any other 3-yr period. While not as commercially successful during this period, Prince still produced a string of radio hits, including Kiss, SOTT, U Got The Look, ICNTTPOYM, and Alphabet St. Few artists produced three completely different albums in, what, a 26-month time span? Reasonable minds can disagree but this trio, IMHO, is hard to top. Good night, sweet Prince | 7 June 1958 - 21 April 2016

Around The World In A Day Parade i think there are several different conceivable 'trilogies' in prince's catalog, but this one is probably my sentimental favorite. | |

And yes, I know that Ronald Regan is dead, but there are other Ronnies in the world that I am sure have issues they need to sort out with Russia. ~ I'D BUY THAT FOR A DOLLAR ~

Dirty Mind - Controversy - 1999.....
Dirty Mind is the foundation, Controversy is the structure, 1999 is the capstone Purple Rain is the common mythology that surrounds the structure. Did you see? I used the analogy of a pyramid, did you see? / [Edited 8/1/05 16:08pm] | |

I would have to say Parade-Sign 'O' the Times-Lovesexy, as well. But I'm very tempted to say Purple Rain-ATWIAD-Parade. Ooh, little darlin' if you're

I think you could make the case either way. Altho Dirty Mind-Controversy-1999 is fairly compelling too. Good night, sweet Prince | 7 June 1958 - 21 April 2016
