NO!!!!! nothing on that album is his "best" anything! 
my personal favorite ballad: "Condition of the Heart", closely followed by "The Beautiful Ones". (I DO NOT consider Purple Rain or Gold to be ballads btw or they'd be there). I know many will disagree, but I never thought straight-up, standard ballads were a strong area for him.  Unless of course, they were overtly sex related, i.e. Do Me Baby, Scandalous, even Adore has the line "I didn't fuck you just for kicks" . All great songs, all much better than Diamonds and Pearls.Ask where they're going, they'll tell U – "Nowhere"
They've taken a lifetime lease on Paisley Park ...  | |

DreamyPopRoyalty said: Diamonds & Pearls is definitely among the best and one of my personal favorites. The instrumentals he used at the bridge are incredible, really showcases his brilliance.
But I think he has done better, like: Gold & Purple Rain (my top 2 favorite ballads and Prince songs overall) [Edited 4/22/07 9:03am]  | |

it's one of my faves, but i think adore is his ultimate ballad... and i hope he does both on the tour! | |

Don't like it at all, apart from the bit where the classical keyboards and guitar come in. Much prefer 'Free', 'Ana Stesia', 'The Grand Progression', 'Five Women' or 'The Beautiful Ones'. | |

Without a shadow of doubt the best ballad in the world: EYE HATE YOU.
Followed by SOMETIMES IT SNOWS IN APRIL, DAMN U and SHHH. But there's so many more. D&P seems weak compared to those mentioned, I think. | |
