2 each his reach, I suppose...

My 2 least favorite albums R 'Diamonds & Pearls" and "The Gold Experience".

Most orgers love 'The Gold Experience', but I can't stand "319", "Now", or "Pussy Control"... They ruin the album, they're so awful.

The "symbol album" is great. 4 such a long CD, it's amazingly solid.

The great cuts have already been mentioned in this thread, so I won't list.

I adore "3 Chains o' Gold", but most folks here don't like it.

The complexity and diversity of the "symbol album" is deep. This album was a welcome "return" 4 me, after "Diamonds & Pearls".

3 chains is my fave on the cd.

Sorry, but it was trash and P knew it that's why he never performs anything off the album.

He's not performed lots of his material, doesn't mean he thinks his music is trash. C&D is far from trash and it's hilarious how people have been duped into believing this is just a hodgepodge of material like on the Vault. This is a cohesive album and it's oozing with energy.

Definitely not an album of throwaway songs. Compare some of the original versions (Zanalee) to the version on here and you'll see there was effort put into the production of this album and that Prince did not just pull vault tracks and hand em over.

Think about it. Prince has NEVER performed ANY songs from C&D except for when he had the mandated publicity circuit he had to do ordered by his contract with WB plantation. That SAME year he drops EMANCIPATION and you never heard about C&D since. C&D was Vault filler for the most part and P said "Here, use these" and didn't tell them about his 3-disc extravaganza that was about to jump off later that year that had all the REAL SHIT on there.

Emancipation is full of crap. Get Yo Groove On & We Gets Up? Come on now Betcha By Golly Wow and La la are both pretty weak for the master of ballads. Da da da C&D is a solid and cohesive release and to say that the crap listed above is better than C&D is straight out halucinatory.

Ok anyone that says Emancipation is full of crap BUT Chaos and Disorder ISN'T, needs to be put in the Gotham insane asylum

"And God Created Woman" is one of the most amazing Prince songs ever

Worst album by Prince ever - "Chaos & Dsorder" - the name speaks for itself and it was a purposely titled album as a direct slap in the face of WB and how they do business and anyone who thinks otherwise is freebasing still.

NO NO NO NO NO!!!!! C&D is one of my absolute favorite Prince albums. Starts off sockin you up and don't stop

i disagree. i love chaos & disorder - it was his last true freaky-ass FU album, and anyone who doesn't think the title track, 'i like it there', 'zannalee' and 'dinner with delores' aren't up there with some of his best mid-90s work has got some serious re-listening to do.

Wanna go rounds?

Theres been heaps of threads dissing half ok albums like Graffiti Bridge and Emancipation etc, but no one has looked at 1992's Symbol. I mean this album is seriously bad.
Grafitti Bridge at least has a few gems on it, but theres nothing on Symbol thats a gem. 7, Morning Papers and a couple of other songs are OK but the rest is a self indulgent experiment. The shit dated the moment it came out.
The only reason it did fairly well was because of the hype caused by Diamonds and Pearls (Just like the ATWIAD sales figures caused by Purple Rain fans expecting Purple Rain II).
U look at it theres hardly anything good on it. Theres no Joy in Repetition, The Holy River or Musicology type songs here. I mean 7 is a fairly average pop song and The Morning Papers is a fairly good soul ballad, but sandwiched in amongst the ok stuff is filler like Blue Light, Arrogance, The Flow, Damn u and to add to it some of the weakest Tony M raps this side of 1992.
He kind of deserved it after he sacked the talented Rosie Gaines and Diamond and Pearl (Why kil a winning recipe man).
The only 4 out of 5 song is my name is Prince, its a good starter, shame it goes downhill after that, aamzing how Prince got over the Victor nonsense afterwards. Sorry guyas but I got over this album in early 93.
So do you agree and do you think Graffiti Bridge is Sign o the times compared to this self indulgent boondoggle.

Fine! Mud, Jello or Oil wrestling!
