I am quick to defend New Power Soul and Emancipation when people say they suck, because they I think they are both very fun albums....Emancipation has a lot of great stuff on it and you can skip the poor tracks and still have a great album's worth of material. Yes I really like Emancipation as well. Except for Da da daa (which is the prince song I hate the most and "the plan" does not really fits on the cd) I like or love just about every song on that cd. |

 thanx guys 
Rainbow Children, I definitely hear a lot of talk about. So I'd say that's the most defended album here. Chaos & Disorder, definitely hear a lot about Rave is never really defended much, not that I've seen. And Emancipaton... I'm usually the one saying how much I wanna get it and everyone keeps trying to talk me out of it  you should get it. it really showcases prince's love songs, his tender side. the entire cd was dedicated to Mayte when they were falling in love (during their courtship) His vocals on many are superb. Out of print but easy to obtain for a resonable price. My favorites, Soul Sanctuary, Sex in the Summer, Emale, Joint 2 Joint, White Mansion, Somebody's Somebody, right back in my arms, Savior. You MUST get this CD... it chronicles such a big event in Prince's life... the song he wrote to Mayte for their wedding march Friend Lover Sister Mother/Wife, their baby's heartbeat as the bass beat in Sex in the summer the cover shows pics of Prince and Mayte as little tots... you could tell he was really into this woman during that time. he was really in love.

I haven't (thankfully) read that much defense of Rave or NPS.
I'll go for C&D - RC and LS have plenty of supporters and a generally positive consensus. Come has made the turnaround to the org + list. C&D, OTOH, is still generally derided and undervalued and so there is always someone popping up to say "It's not my fave, but I actually like it" "We've never been able to pull off a funk number"

Hot Wit U (heard a Nasty girl remix...  )
NPS~ How could you not love The one, Mad Sex, Wasted Kisses. I had NPS in my CD changer the night my car got stolen.  I still haven't replaced it yet. sorely missed.[Edited 5/20/07 1:31am] "Remember, one man's filler is another man's killer" -- Haystack | |

[Edited 5/20/07 1:31am] Liking one or 2 songs (or a remix or vid!!!) doesn't save a CD (at least a Prince one), it confirms its damnation (and no, I never liked The Greatest Romance, with or without vid - ILUBIDNUAM is a different story and Wasted Kisses is a classic).

Prince's music does NOT need defending. It's a persons musical taste that does. | |

Sad to say it does. I love choas & disorder and so called fans are always putting it down here. |

Emancipation is one of my all time favorite cd's!! There is only one song I am not fond of "da da da" other then that, I hit play and enjoy the adventure. I hate when people say that Emancipation is a piece of crap, it makes me very happy!!  | |

I can't say as I know yet, but one that I like a lot that people seem to dis is Chaos & Disorder. I'll take that over Rave or New Power Soul any day! "Half of what I say is meaningless; but I say it so that the other half may reach you." - Kahlil Gibran | |

PurpleCharm said: Parade and Lovesexy
If you dare say anything bad about those albums, you are accused of not 'getting' Prince because that's supposedly when he was at his peak. Not to mention the tons of orgers posting how special Lovesexy is because it prevented them from committing suicide. [Edited 5/17/07 17:49pm] definitely these two by far, Sign 'O' The Times is next on the list... | |

From my experience it's LOVESEXY.
There are those that think it's his magnum opus, those that think it's brilliant in its own right and those that think besides one or two songs it's an overproduced, self-indulgent mess that signalled a significant decline in the quality of his music (LIKE ME!!!!).  Baby, that was much too fast... 1958-2016 | |

Sign o' the times is hardly ever attacked, thus it needs no defending. i was thinking that. but when Sott is attacked, people go after it with a vengeance like they are putting down the people who consider it a classic. | |
