Around the World in a Day 4 me.Parade 4 the cover,tho.

To me I always listen to them together like a double CD set, for a long time they were my favorite albums the fresh sound of them both never gets old but I have Parade ahead because I skip Raspberry Beret & America. I must say ATWIAD had great B-sides. I love that era and that time in my life.

Parade...i rarely listen to ATWIAD...

I would go for Around The World... over Parade although both have a one song flaw on each project. Around's is "Temptation" while Parade's is "Venus De Milo" or for some I heard "Life Can Be So Nice" (I like that one though). Parade is more commercial only because it's a soundtrack to a movie. Both a musical masterpieces. But Around is in my top ten of Prince albums so it wins for me.

Both of these albums are masterpieces they are timeless. Nothing about them deserves criticism. Parade is his most romantic work. "Venus De Milo" let me know that Prince is a Musician and not just a pop star I gained deeper respect for his talent. ATWIAD was his most brave work, Coming off a big success of Purple rain he didn't cave into the labels demands for more of the same. Just think if he did..that would have been the end of him and we'd have on legacy today....Temptation, Wow I'd love to hear that Live! Along with We can Funk!

Parade all the way. around the world is good.but not great.85 didnt have much of an era like rest of his albums did.

Parade....ATWIAD.....Parade.....ATWIAD.....omg i cant decide

i think i'll have to listen to them both again.....bbl

parade because... i'm too tired to explain why now. sometimes it snows in april, do u lie?, girls and boys, anotherlover and so on and so on. the whole thing. around the world in a day is great too. em both.

PARADE!!!! Purely because it is a tighter album and Prince seemed to be more focused

But lets not dismiss the importance of ATWIAD. without it their would be no Parade! Well, not as we know it!

ATWIAD is Princes most daring project where he walked away from the commercial success of PR and took the bold move to do his thing.

ATWIAD is an amazing collection of singles (and b-sides) that showcase a new direction in his music but I don't think as a whole it is as strong or as 'complete' as Parade.

And The Ladder should've been replaced with Girl!!!

What a shame The Deam Factory didn't follow Parade. A perfect trio of albums!!
