Ok, I need help from all the huge Prince fans. I love Prince's music of course like all of you, but I am more of a fan of his 'more commercial' music.

Parade and 1999

I think Purple Rain is a basic requirement

ditto. PR must have for Prince fans and fans of 80s music alike. or just fans of really good music (in which case u would have alot of Prince).

you don't have Purple Rain and you're asking what you should get next?


that one.


then 1999.


then Parade.

I would agree that Purple Rain should definately be your first priority.

Alternatively, if you liked The Gold Experience, you might also like Chaos & Disorder and Crystal Ball, which contain a lot of Gold era tracks.

Get 1999 first, then get Purple Rain. It's a great piece and a great leadin to PR.

Parade!! You must have Parade

please listen to the rainbow children over again, it took me a while to get it too, but i eventually succumbed!

Parade is brilliant

But also for easy listening get the 3 CD pack prince greatest hits hits, you get some brilliant B sides on there.

You gotta have Controversy.

Parade and Purple Rain.....followed by 1999

ditto. The first time I really liked Everlasting Now and Last December but couldn't really get into the rest of it but now it all is good except for the annoying narrator voice.

Stop messing about... take an afternoon off work... get on ebay.... and snap up everything available...

I know know narrator sounds like the voice of doom!

For you (because it was his first album and he put so much effort into that one)

Prince

Emancipation

oooops, you already have emancipation. Nevermind that one then.

These are the songs i would recommend: black day, holy river, insatiable, controversy, sexuality, sometimes it snows in april, thunder (there are so many that i would recoment that i'm spoilt for choice).

GamerX said:

my dad already owned PR (has since its released) so I adopted it... I've yet to get 1999 myself...

but wow, I never thought 1999 would be THAT essiental... I guess I shouldnt be surprised thu, cuz its got that 80's that I go crazy for.

For You. For You and thrice For you. How can you not have this brilliant album and Controversy. I just love Controversy

You must go with 1999, then Rain....

You need to get Purple Rain, not only is it one of the greatest of Prince CDs but also of the greatest CDs of the last 30 years.

I agree with all of those saying PR and Parade! But if you have abit of spare cash I suggest Crystal Ball as you really get your moneys worth (and then some)! Also, there's a few greats on the Batman album too, so def worth trying to get
