OK, i propose we all rate Prince's album from 1 2 4:
1 = i hate it
2 = i don't really care
3 = i like it
4 = i love it!

No polemics please, just votes, when everybody has voted i'll make a total 4 each album & we'll c who r the winners.

Note that the albums r listed in rough recording order, not release order. I've included side-projects (those that were at least 75% Prince) & video/DVD releases.
