Let's talk about something fun..which 5 albums will it be? " The same 5 albums will be available for sale at stores, "
This was a quote from another topic. The poster was saying when Prince is gone he will be remembered for his 80's output and name change... the same 5 CD's will be on sale... so in your opinion what are those 5 CD? my guess: 1999 Purple Rain Sign of the Time Musicology (reference for his "comeback" I can only come up with 4.... Maybe Diamonds and Pearls (because of TMBGIW) What are your guess?? [Edited 11/11/07 19:40pm] "Remember, one man's filler is another man's killer" -- Haystack | |

1999 -- produced biggest hits of his early work
Purple Rain -- obviously Sign 'O' the Times -- his most critically acclaimed album Diamonds and Pearls -- his only successful 90's album Musicology -- his supposed comeback album The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.

I should have known about TMBGIW, I love Gold
okay then I will pick 1999, PR, SOTT, GE, Musicology. GE over D+P because TMBGIW has been remade so many times.. I swear I hear it's melody on a real elevator.  sad but true."Remember, one man's filler is another man's killer" -- Haystack | |

Remember this was number 1 for a minute. It sold pretty well. "For those who know the number and don't call...Fuck all y'all" | |

I would also like to ask
of the 5 albums most are listing... will this be a fair and accurate example of his best work? If so why or why not. what would be a better example that you know will not be in those 5. I pick Emancipation... because it really showcases his singing abilities. "Remember, one man's filler is another man's killer" -- Haystack | |

If my list turns out to be accurate, it will be a TERRIBLE representation of his work.
I WISH this was the real list that he'd be remembered for by some more casual fans: 1. Dirty Mind -- showcases his punk side + it's his true breakthrough album 2. 1999 -- shows his darker side + his ability to craft great pop + dance songs 3. Purple Rain -- shows his revolutionary genre-bending sound that changed music 4. Parade -- shows his multi-faceted elegance in full force 5. Sign 'O' the Times -- shows how masterful a lyricist he could be when he tried Albums like Diamonds and Pearls and Musicology don't reflect his depth or artistic fearlessness. They're safe albums and nothing more. The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.

the three most obvious ones are
1999 Purple Rain Sign of the times after that... who knows... but the best and the classiest are Lovesexy Parade Batman ATWIAD ie most of his 80's output. In 50 years time. no one will care about records he released in the late 90's till now because he dimply didnt have a recognisable "hit" and is not as relevant as he was in the 80's. | |
