Name some albums or songs by Prince that u believe should 've won a grammy but did'nt. Like the rainbow children and so-forth.

1999 through Sign of the Times
Plus Rainbow Children, Exodus, Emancipation, Gold, and

yeah emancipation

aw fuck man -where do u begin????

u2 beat sign o the times in 87 says it all

U Got The Look shuolda got sumthin and how did Sign O the Times not win Album of The Year?! Let's Go Crazy shoulda got best song.... and the list goes on and on

Nothing other than SOTT...and maybe Gold.

'Sign O' The Times', 'Diamonds & Pearls', and ' ' should have won albums of the year

'Most Beautiful Girl in the World' should have been a song of the year winner

there are several other canditates.. but just off the top of my head those two definately deserved better recognition

Singles: I Hate U(Pop/Rock Performance);Money Don't Matter 2Night;Standing At the Altar( songwriting)
So far, So Pleased(great collabo); Love...thy will be done(song writing) Adore- for everything! Round n Round( production and composition) Still would stand all time(song writing);The Most beautiful Girl in the World( performance, compositin) 7( arrangements accompanying vocals); Call My Name-R&B Songwriting,R&B vocal performance( was up against usher that year so it was tough)

Albums: Batman-soundtrack; Rainbow Children; new jazz, nontraditional/contemporary gospel; N.E.W.S.-jazz fusion(he was nominated though); Graffitti Bridge- Great Album killed by a weak movie. Karmasutra_ Instrumental Score( hard to give since there was no movie)

I forgot about Batman. What won soundtrack of the year that year?

Grammys are overrated.



Though I really think he should have one for most of his albums.

1999; album

Little red corvette; single of the year

SOTT; album of the year

The most beautiful girl in the world; single of the year.

"round & Round".....doesnt deserve anything but a good "Avoid listening"

all of em

What Grammy's has he won?

SOTT is the only album I feel deserved a grammy. Although, TRC was very interesting musically.

1999
Sign 'O' The Times
Batman
Diamonds & Pearls
The Gold Experience
Rave
The Rainbow Children
3121

I agree that SOTT should've won the Album Of The Year grammy, but 1987 had a LOT of amazing albums.

Prince: Sign O The Times
Michael Jackson: Bad
U2: The Joshua Tree
George Michael: Faith
Terence Trent D'arby: Introducing The Hardline . . .
Bruce Springsteen: Tunnel Of Love
Guns N Roses: Appetite For Destruction
Def Leppard: Hysteria

Sooooo many other good songs from that year, but the above are the spotlight albums IMO. They pretty much made up my entire new-music listening experience that year. My point is, it was a good competition. I personally think that if Prince didn't win, George Michael should've.

Madonna released Who's That Girl and You Can Dance in 1987, but I didn't count them as full albums because they're a soundtrack and greatest hits compilation, respectively.

U2's The Joshua Tree won Best Album in 1987. It's an amazing album, just not as diverse or experimental as SOTT.

DIAMONDS AND PEARLS


it didn't when anything
