for me these 3 represent Ps finest works


1: sign of the times

2: the rainbow children

3: Lovesexy


What order would u put them in?
trc hit me after years of me thinkin' he'd lost it. I wonder what inspired him on that one, I can't just put it down 2 another religious trip.

Judging only these 3 albums . . . SOTT/Lovesexy/TRC.

SOTT, to me, is Prince's finest work ever. Lovesexy is an amazing spiritual journey that really welcomes you in (with arguably some of the best Prince guitar work on CD).

TRC is also amazing - but it's more "religious" than "spiritual". It's more informative and cautionary than it is liberating and welcoming. Easily his most focused work since TGE.

SOTT


Lovesexy


TRC

Never listened to tge much. That song "gold" is almost as bad as the song "graffiti bridge". TGE is for me a weak album, there r enough bad songs on there.
Your explanations of the 2 albums was interesting, the comparison of religious and spiritual, very interesting.Thanks. You didn't put them in order.

Lovesexy
SOTT
TRC

oh yes , of course you put them in order!

Lovesexy saved my life.

I started to put TRC next as I really can't listen to SOTT anymore but SOTT is a classic.

The order you put them in.

Stymie said:

why or how did it save your life? For real, or are u just clearing your throat?

I was a 19 year old suicidal mess when Lovesexy came out. I was dealing with my bisexuality and that album gave me such a great sense of hope and a reminder that God loved me.

1.SOTT is the greatest assortment of musical diversity and well crafted lyrics ever in my opinion.In my eyes,some of the greatest songs known to the human ear are featured on this album.

2.While not as great as SOTT, TRC does feature some absolutely amazing music as well as highly spiritual,controvercial and bold lyrics.

3.The spirit of Lovesexy is certainly in the right place but as enjoyable as it is, I'm one of those who feels it's a bit overrated in my book.

thedribbler said:

Sure I did . . . on the first line SOTT/Lovesexy/TRC.

Stymie said:

lovesexy does have somethin' hard to define. I was 18 at the time, and also having a hard time. it was a help ,but to a lesser degree, I don't know how I survived my late teens, or even if I did.

Sign O The Times - This is one of Princes best albums ever. Although the rank of my "all-time fav. prince albums" is ever changing Sign O The Times is always in the top 5.


The Rainbow Children - One of Princes' most unique and daring albums. Has a great "mature" sound to it. It's his instrumental album w/ singing.



Lovesexy- A Pefect effort, great fun, inspiring album, filled w/ the funky funk!

This is like asking a person 2 pick a favorite child! Sorry,but all 3 r outstanding! Can't favor 1 over the other!

1. Sign 'O' The Times
2. Lovesexy
3. The Rainbow Children

I love all three of 'em, but there's some stuff on TRC I don't care too much for and as much as I adore Lovesexy, it doesn't contain as many fantastic songs as SOTT.

This statement says it all about that damn Rainbow Children CD.

I don't consider any of those to be anywhere near Prince's best work. However, using those three, I would place them in this order.....

1. Lovesexy
2. Sign O The 60s and 70s
3. The Rainbow Children

thedribbler said:

I love these 3 equally!

SOTT
Lovesexy
TRC

gotta agree with sexxydancer on this one. All three albums represent a different mood and era in Prince's career. It is like picking which child you love the most because U love them all just slightly differently. But I know U by your posts dribbler, if forced to I would list SOTT, Lovesexy, and then TRC. But again I feel the question is dishonest to his journey. Why make them versue each other, and don't you like different themes on different days and years?
