Only 5 well I like about 100, but I ranked according to
1. Quality of all jams (any filler costs)
2. Overall feel
3. Listenability
4. Musicianship
and not for
1. Historical location eg 80s
2. Dancability
3. Chart success levels.
Here you go

1. Sign of the times 98 out of 100
2. 1999 96 out of 100
3. Purple Rain 91 out 100, Computer Blue is a bit tedious, Purple Rain makes up 4 it.
4. Dirty Mind 87 out of 100, because....
5. The Gold experience 81 out of 100, very little filler, lots of catchy jams.
No 6 is controversy, 7, Parade, Rainbow children worst.
17 Years ago I made a commitment to Prince

No. When you look at TGE, and the scores of great tracks he's assembled over the years, I don't think you can say that. Look, for example, at his work post-Lovesexy:

Batman: The Future, Electric Chair, Scandalous

Graffiti Bridge: The Question of U, Still Would Stand All Time, Joy In Repetition(official release)

D&P: Willing and Able, Cream, Gett Off, Money Don't Matter Tonight, Insatiable

prince: 7, And God Created Woman, Sexy MF

The Hits: Pink Cashmere

Come: Dark

TGE: Shhh, endorphinmachine, eye Hate U, etc.

Chaos and Disorder: I Like It There, Dinner With Delores

Emancipation: In This Bed eye Scream, Soul Sanctuary, etc.

The Truth: Fascination, One of Your Tears, etc.

NPS: Come On, The One

Rave: Man O' War

TRC: Muse 2 The Pharaoh

ONA: ONA

Musicology: If :I: Was the Man in Ur Life, Reflection, What Do U Want Me 2 Do?

I'm not saying that all of these tracks belong in the pantheon, but still, Prince has been able to churn out a jewel or two in the last decade and a half and he should get credit for that.



Yeah i agree, Still would stand all time is one of the greatest songs ever made, do you like The Holy River from Emancipation 2, and Dark that is a great song!!!

I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

5) Emancipation (criminally underrated)
4) Purple Rain
3) 1999
2) prince
1) Parade


I still haven't purchased Dirty Mind or Controversy... I'd imagine that DM in particular will be an easy Top 5 contender
