What do you consider Prince's greatest creative 5 year period?

So many great ones to choose from but I'm gonna say 1982-1986.

Definitely 1983-1987...I'll secretly like to add 1980's Dirty Mind to the repertoire of albums he released during that period too because that's his his "classic-sounding" album, IMHO.

i don't think he's ever been as consistently creative as he was from 1982-1988 -- each of these 7 years was new, unique, and fantastic

i'm with y'all. and not because the other periods weren't brilliant... it's just that these years were so entirely unexpected of prince. when he manages to shock his own FANS and throw them for a loop, whoa that's truly special.

If you saw his art projects from his elementary school days you would be amazed.

(Teacher) Prince...um why did you draw this rain purple?

(3rd Grade Prince) Because that's the way I see it in my mind, dig?


His spelling grades were atrocious though.

Though 86-89 (I know that's not five years, folks) were EXTREMELY rich as far as material goes. "1999" and "Lovesexy" are my favorite 'periods/eras.'
