After Round one we have the following, It was a close race. From the start it seemed I had clearly boo booed with The Rainbow Children, but there was a fight over Planet Earth and come. PE had an early edge, but Comes supporters came out at night, to the point of taking over.

So what I will do is eliminate both of them, and invite voting for whats left, AND.... WITH the added proviso that you all nominate a maverick album to take a nomination on the list. For example say you vote on NEWS and add Purple Rain to the list.

Chaos and disorder
N.E.W.S.
New Power Soul
Planet Earth
Graffiti Bridge
Rave until the Joy Fantastic
Old friends for sale (The Vault)
Emancipation

So choose one thats left and one to add to the list, both the album that gets mercy and the new dud will be announced in 24 hours time

Results so far

10. Rainbow children (Mercy 8 votes)
9. Come (Mercy 6 votes)

Other voted for albums Planet Earth, The Vault and Chaos and Disorder. Also negative one for Newpowersoul which was doubly condemned by two people

Please also haters and detractores, spare your vitriol for another thread, I got 23 votes in one day, I am sure thats proof enough this thread is reasonably popular. It will be interesting to see what the org thinks the worst album he made was.

Onece again: let's not ignore the obvious and waste time beating a dead horse to death...

Winner of the most fucktard album Prince every made: New Power Soul (no dramatic drum-roll required)

Before burying this turkey for eternity, lets salvage the near-perfect The One, and the other 2 rays of light that are suffering in NPS's ocean of blandness: Come On & Wasted kisses (hell even Until Ure In My Arms Again deserves to be on a less-crap album than this) - and we'll replace those 4 with 4 other putrid NPS-type-levels-of-shite tracks that unfathomably made their ways onto better albums: Wedding Feast, Graffiti Bridge, My Little Pill, Life Of The Party. 4 pieces of shite that deserve to be buried on and with this disaster of blandness.

R.I.P.

Wipe and Flush

There, it is done...

next...

No way Emancipation should be on the list. It's long, but there is at least one cds worth of good material on there.

I haven't listened to any of these, because people keep telling me not to buy them But I would say N.E.W.S. for the pure fact that I like real songs with hooks, and P's sexy voice.

What are the rules again?

Just give it to Rave, you know it's well deserved.

NouveauDance said:

no it aint i love rave, and what i love, is good.

If I understand the rules correctly-



I vote to save : Graffiti Bridge


I vote to add to the list : Musicology

Vote one of the albums off the list, as the one thats worth saving

Then a choose an album not on the list that is your personal worst sounding album by Prince in your opinion

save emancipation

get rid of planet earth and new power soul (not a prince album anyway)

Save Graffiti Bridge, a really STRONG album (we all know the movie sucks), but c'mon, GB has true classics...

Save Graffiti Bridge.

Nothing from the WB years should really be on this list. However, the watered-down, hook-free, R&B lite that is Musicology should be right at the top.

Save Graffiti Bridge. Throw the "symbol album" in the dungeon.

L4OATheOriginal said:

Still with that??

...They all suck.

I am leaving this open another as y'all ain't voting enough. If its that boring we will vote two albums at a time

This is getting tough....

I'd like to save both Graffiti Bridge AND Emancipation using the logic that both have a good single CD in there somewhere.

If pushed I'm going for GB though as Elephants & Flowers and Tick, Tick Bang make me smile every time.

My wildcard to ditch is Musicology, despite the fact that I love the title track, as every other song on there stinks the joint out....

r u still with the ridiculous notion that because he's on a album cover it's automatically a prince album instead of who a album is credited 2? if that's the case here's another one 4 ya: take any cover by led zepplin, there r no pictures of any of the band members on the album, so if zepplin I has a cover a blimp, should it b truly credited 2 the goodyear blimp or zepplin?

L4OATheOriginal said:

Okay, Okay. If you didn't know that NPS was credited to "The New Power Generation" and someone showed you the album cover and asked "Who's new album is this?" what would you say? Of course you'd answer "Prince". There's a reason Prince put HIS picture on the cover and not his band. So who is the Black Album credited to? There's no name or picture on it yet we ALL know it to be a "Prince" album right?

dannyd5050 said:

naw i would have said it was a camille album

but if i just looked at album cover and didn't pay attention 2 artwork graphics etc ..i would have said "oh wow, look at that has a new album out ..since PRINCE is dead" gotta remember the time frame my friend

Get rid of N.E.W.S. Unrequited shite. I own it as a completist but it has never been played! (Yes, I have listened to it before anyone comments)

Keep Graffiti if only for Morris Day and the odd track.

I think you should put Rainbow Children back in. There's experimental and then there's 'Should leave in the vault'

L4OATheOriginal said:

Erm, you've dug yourself a hole here.

By your logic that you've explained here and on the Round 1 thread, Emancipation shouldn't be considered a Prince album either as it's attributed to .

Make your mind up.

Prince used the NPG moniker to release New Power Soul just as he used the moniker to release Emancipation. Both Prince albums under pseudonyms.

But to play the game...

Save the under-rated NEWS and I nominate the bland-o-rama Xpectation.

L4OATheOriginal said:

Oh...My...God!! May I please use that as my new signature?? That is hilarious!!

This place has got the Worst Prince fans (supposedly0 in the world. Always looking at the negative- ALWAYS

Dayclear said:

Now there's a generalisation.


Remember, the biggest fans are also the biggest critics.

Planet Earth is by far the shittiest album Prince ever released.
All his other 'bad' albums have at least some good songs on them, PE has none.

Well this is going nowhere - there's obviously no need for a third round.

And what's with the dribbling retard who thinks new power soul isn't a prince album? Of course it is, you fucking womble! That's spastic mentality, that is!
