Your bottom 5 P albums of the 80's vs. Your top 5 P albums of the 90's -- How do they match up? Are Prince's five best albums from the 90's better to you than his five worst from the 80's?
For me, I'd say his worst 80's albums (or rather, least great), starting with his worst, are: The Black Album Lovesexy Batman Around the World in a Day Controversy vs. The Gold Experience Come The Truth Emancipation Chaos and Disorder The Black Album vs. The Gold Experience Winner: The Gold Experience No contest here. The Gold Experience kicks the shit out of The Black Album for me. More cohesive, a stronger theme throughout, and you just can't beat that urgency and explosive energy of TGE. Lovesexy vs. Come Winner: Come Another victory for the 90's. Lovesexy is joy, but Come is just so mysterious and dark. I love it. Batman vs. The Truth Winner: The Truth This is a tough one, since I like both. In the end though, The Truth has more substance, and thus, more value. Around the World in a Day vs. Emancipation Winner: Around the World in a Day Emancipation has some of his greatest songs ever, but its filler content hurts it here. ATWIAD's high points are less impressive, but its low points are far fewer. Controversy vs. Chaos and Disorder Winner: Controversy Controversy might be a little short, but it's just much more consistent than C&D. So, that's a 3-2 victory for the 90's. Three of his best 90's albums are better than three of his lowest 80's albums. The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.

I LOVE EACH AND EVERY SINGLE RECORD HE RELEASED IN THE 80s.
NOT SO SURE ABOUT THE 90s. I LIKE CONTROVERSY THE LEAST FROM THE 80s. AND NEWPOWER SOUL FROM THE 90s. IN FACT, NEWPOWER SOUL IS MY LEAST FAVOURITE PRINCE ALBUM. | |

Ok, I start by saying I LOVE most of Prince's 90's music.
Its what made me a fan, so saying that...I'd most certainly take The Gold Experience, Diamonds & Pearls, Graffiti Bridge, Come, and Crystal Ball OVER The Black Album, Dirty Mind,Around the World in a Day, For You, and Parade but thats just my preferance  If you will, so will I | |
