Prince Album Survivor-Battle of the 80's! Round IV! **THIS THREAD IS CLOSED**

Sorry, my cable modem was down for like two days straight.

Voting's getting more evenly spread out now, but this round The Black Album got treated just as badly by The Orgers as it did by Prince back in the day. It's eliminated, albeit barely, with six votes.



evillol Eliminated so far: evillol

#8-The Black Album
#9-Lovesexy
#10-Batman



The surviving 80's albums:

Dirty Mind
Controversy
1999
Purple Rain
Around The World In A Day
Parade
Sign 'O' The Times



Voting for this round will end Saturday, August 6th.

Dirty Mind shouldn't go, it was his breakthrough album.

I vote Parade.

Dirty Mind is the album that made him a critics darling.

It was the true beginning of his journey as the Prince we all remember him as now.

Yeah, WTF? Parade, Controversy, and Dirty Mind rock! (crack reference intentional biggrin)

Again my vote goes to ATWIAD!
The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp.

cool this is my 1st vote in relation to the 80's albums , so in looking at whats left on your list i say
"controversy"
my reason : Although it was a good early Prince album and definitly very much in the realms of "Dirty Mind" and "Prince" , I dont think it was as innovative as were the others in the list eg it wasnt too much of a progreesion from "Dirty Mind".

Yeh i wouldn't say "DirtyMind" at this point cuz it was breakthrough album it really marked a point in Prince's music that continued postDm to be preogressed upon, equally i wouldnt go for "Parade" at this point as I think it was a great unique and experimental album that was also still cool.

AMEN to that... smile

its a shame it looks like its between ATWIAD vs PARADE.. two of the most exciting and complex albums of Prince 80s.. these two are the ones that u listen after a while and think wow i love this album more then the first time.

I can't play in this game, cuz the three that have been voted off are three of the best, to me. And besides that, we all know that it's gonna come down to Purple Rain and Sign Of the Times, so WHY ARE WE EVEN BOTHERING? YA'LL ARE SO PLASTIC!
