The unreleased 3 album Crystal Ball album probably was better though. Agreed and more than likely agreed again! | |

[Edited 3/28/07 14:39pm] SOTT is among his best efforts, given Prince's showcasing of his mastery of diverse genres. It's gospel, metal, pop, R&B, etc. all rolled across two LPs. Given its patchwork brilliance, I'm not sure it "hangs together" as well as a more focused work like Dirty Mind. I'd put DM high on the list for its elegance -- minimal instrumentation, clean arrangements and killer elements. 1999 and Purple Rain are high on the list, too. | |

Hmmm, I'd say that as a testament to the breadth and scope of Prince's studio talent in the 80's, it's hard to surpass SOTT.
However, I find  to be more mature and enjoyable overall. | |

Picking Prince's BEST work is like picking the best Ferrari.....very difficult task and in the end it doesn't really matter. | |
