I've saw your "Fury" vid on Youtube. You nailed Prince down with his facial expressions perfectly.

Prince at his most visionary & sexy:
SOTT - The Black Album - Lovesexy

I'm sure the poster was being sarcastic, but I would make a case for that being the weakest 3 album arc of Prince's career.

COMPUTERBLUE1984 said:

I got it!!!

I'm surprised 3121 has not been mentioned

COMPUTERBLUE1984 said:

no way. that period was easily:
1999
what time is it
purple rain

(let's be honest. what time is it is a prince album.)

those 3 albums are the worst!

1999
SOTT
PR

COMPUTERBLUE1984 said:

Oh, but you shouldn't be

Ronnie Talk To Russia

Best 3 consecutive albums . . .



1999/Purple Rain/ATWIAD with SOTT/TBA/Lovesexy coming in a VERY close second.

Symbol, Parade, Lovesexy

My top 10 is on my profile along with my top 20 songs!

suomynona said:

Interesting choices

For me, it's Parade-SOTT-Lovesexy.

novabrkr said:

oops...

That would then be 1999/PR/ATWIAD

Hmm, good topic, I will go with Off the Wall, Thriller, then Bad

there is some pretty funny stuff in this topic.
that NewPowerSoul recco was a good un.

ah, I say SOTT , Black, Lovesexy.

emmi said:

me too

The only 3 consecutive Prince albums that I actually like all 3 albums are:

"Diamonds and Pearls", , and "The Hits/B-Sides"

I've never been a fan of "1999" and I hate ATWIAD.

I have to look in the basement in the last box containing albums I really never ever play to check if you're right!

Based off of the book "Possessed: The Rise and Fall of Prince" by Alex Hahn, the official release dates were

"Diamonds and Pearls" (1991)
(1992)
"The Hits/B-Sides (1993)

It also says that "Come", "The Beautiful Experience" and "The Black Album" (the official release) were all put out in 1994 with "The Gold Experience" coming out in 1995, so that would be my second choice.

Se7en said:

100% agree with this - I really can't decide between these!

estelle81 said:

... I do know when those albums were released
I just have to check in the basement if there's one good song on D&P or .
Yes indeed: I do like Sexy MF!
So ... what I meant to say: In my opinion, those albums are really terrible.
different taste

No love for "Insatiable", "Money Don't Matter Tonight", or "Gett Off", no love for "Morning Papers" or "Damn U" From the way you phrased your original statement, I interpreted as meaning you had to check to see if these three albums were consecutive (since that seems to be the running error in this thread). If I was going to pick three old consecutive Prince albums they would be Prince/Dirty Mind/Controversy or For You/Prince/Dirty Mind. I would rather watch paint dry than listen to ATWIAD. The absence of tracking on Lovesexy still irritates me, even though the songs are good. And, 1999 has never tickled my fancy. Different strokes for different folks I always say.
