Top Five (In Order)

- 1999 - Pure genuis. A rock, funk masterpiece rolled into a cohesive whole.
- Dirty Mind - Raw, stripped down musical masterpieces from a then emerging talent.
- Controversy - A great step forward with a little more polish than DM.
- SOTT - One of the best albums by any artist in any genre.
- Purple Rain - The classic, commercial album with a ton of musical influences rolled into the uniquness of Prince.

These are my top five, but he is such a talent, let's do some honorale mentions:
- AWTWIAD - What a bold step for that time and era.
- Parade - Fun and dark - nice, nice stretch.
- Prince - Can't forget this one - getting better from . . .
- For You - Often forgotten, but lets not forget. The tracks are all him (pretty much) and he was a youngster (hungry at that).
His 90s/NPG period - I get through it, but it's not my cup of tea when it comes to P.

I know it wasn't ment to count the votes here,
but I had nothing else to do so...
As always,1999 and SOTT are the org's fav.
(My last vote just put SOTT at nr 1 it seems)

TGE is P's last album that does really good in this list..not a
surprise.But I am surprised that the"'oldies'(the first 3 albums)
do so well.

1.SOTT
2.1999
3.Purple Rain
4.Lovesexy
5.Controversy

Followed by Parade.
TGE and AWIAD share the 7th place.

Can somebody please shed some light on 'Romance 1600'?

If it's up there with the other 4 on this list, and, by implication,
better than SOTT and Lovesexy and Dirty Mind then shouldn't we all
know what this one is?

Romance 1600 is the second Shiela E album. Not sure how much of the album is written by Prince.
