You know, this would be a damn site quicker if everybody just listed their favourite remaining albums in order. Then you add up the ranking numbers of everybody's votes and whatever has the lowest number is the winner.

Thusly:

1.Purple Rain
2.Lovesexy
3.Parade
4.Sign "O' the Times
5.Dirty Mind
6.The Rainbow Children
7.1999

But the result would be different than if we took each album round by round. This way would give us an order based on favorite, but the whole game has been about eliminating the least favorite.

Only good things remain, but of those 'Lovesexy' is most expendable.

I don't think so, whichever way essentially you still end up with the majority's favourite album, second favourite album, etc. assuming people already know which albums are their favourites and least favourites and vote consistently. But whatever, it's only a game and clearly Purple Rain will win.

Or maybe Sign "O" the Times.

While your method would measure the order by favorite, the methods used here are measuring something different. For example, if there were 3 albums left, say SOTT, Lovesexy and Purple Rain. Suppose 30 people voted, with 11 people having Purple Rain as the least favorite, 10 with Lovesexy as the least favorite, and 9 with SOTT as the least favorite. This method would oust Purple Rain. However, Purple Rain may be overall preferred using your method. For example, if every person who listed Lovesexy as the least favorite had Purple Rain as the favorite, and everyone who listed SOTT as the least favorite had Purple Rain as the favorite, the overall consensus would NOT have Purple Rain in 3rd place. The 2 methods here are thus measuring 2 different things. Let's use the following as an example, considering 5 people vote:

Person A has order
1. Purple Rain
2. SOTT
3. Lovesexy

Person B has order
1. SOTT
2. Lovesexy
3. Purple Rain

Person C has order
1. SOTT
2. Lovesexy
3. Purple Rain

Person D has order
1. Purple Rain
2. SOTT
3. Lovesexy

Person E has order
1. SOTT
2. Lovesexy
3. Purple Rain

Under our method, Purple Rain would be voted off, as it received the most votes for last place. However, your method of least points to order would give SOTT 7 points, Purple Rain 11 points and Lovesexy 12 points. They are therefore different methods. I suggest we stick with what we have!

its getting really hard now. It makes me happy to see a "new" Prince album has made it into the final 7. Proof that we all still know he can TURN IT OUT!

As much as I love it though, I've got to vote for it to go..."The Rainbow Children".

This was the very first Prince album I ever heard. It was released the year I was born 1980. "When You Weere Mine" flowed through the air of the room and penetrated the wood of my crib as a baby. This is getting tough(er).

But I have to let...

Dirty Mind go... cry

"When U Were Mine, I gave u all of my $, time after time, you done me wrong..."

"I know, that you're going with another guy, don't care, cuz I love u baby that's no lie, I love u more than I did When U Were Mine..."

Beautiful...

Y'all saying that Parade should go...YOU SUCK!!!

Of all the ones left I think Lovesexy should go next. Not the strongest set of songs in the bunch, even though I still think its a great album. Just not as good as the others...yes, including TRC.
