ATWIAD vs Batman

These are two of the most debated Prince albums of all time. Both were number one albums with several hits but many die hard fans particularly have been split down the middle over them. Which do you feel is the better album and why?

ATWIAD vs The Future

Paisley Park vs Electric Chair

Condition of the Heart vs The Arms of Orion

Raspberry Beret vs Partyman

Tamborine vs Vicki Waiting

America vs Trust

Pop Life vs Lemon Crush

The Ladder vs Scandelous

Temptation vs Batdance

BONUS CHALLENGE

She's Always in My Hair vs 200 Balloons

Hello vs Feel U Up

Girl vs I Love U,In Me

Nice try, but it is debated. ATWIAD isn't that strong relative to his other albums. I would say it's about on par with Batman although I prefer the latter.

I'm game! I understand what you mean about these being 2 of the most debated. They're not universally loved or hated and they mark a strange turn in his career. These 2 along with "Come" are the underrated albums of his that I love the most. Here are my picks.



ATWIAD vs The Future (One of my very favorite Prince songs)

Paisley Park vs Electric Chair (a tough one cuz I love 'em both)

Condition of the Heart vs The Arms of Orion (One of his very greatest ballads)

Raspberry Beret vs Partyman (both perfect pop singles)

Tamborine vs Vicki Waiting (got a big soft spot for this one)

America vs Trust (on the strength of its 12" mix)

Pop Life vs Lemon Crush (I'm one of the few that really likes Lemon Crush though)

The Ladder vs Scandalous (The Ladder's fallen off for me in recent years)

Temptation vs Batdance (By a long shot...perhaps his weirdest song)

BONUS CHALLENGE

She's Always in My Hair vs 200 Balloons (I know I'm weird for saying this but TIE)

Hello vs Feel U Up (kickass funky little song)

Girl vs I Love U,In Me (SEXY!)


Quote issues edit.

Raspberry Beret vs Partyman (like them both though)

Pop Life vs Lemon Crush

The Ladder vs Scandalous (tough call)

Temptation vs Batdance (don't really care for either to be honest)

BONUS CHALLENGE

She's Always in My Hair vs 200 Balloons

Hello vs Feel U Up (can't beat a bit of Camille)

Girl vs I Love U in Me

lol I will be one of the only fans 2 admit I kinda like NPS (only a few tracks), and I kinda like ATWIAD (I don't like Paisley Park and the title song) but I don't see any relation between the two albums.

I think Batman is a way stronger album, or mayb its the fact that i listen 2 it practically 2 times every night...my friend found it on cassette and we have been listenin 2 it wheneva we have sessions in his car and nuthin good is on the radio, but i've always like Batman, much more than ATWIAD.
