I really think that you should be trying out the Gold Experience next.

of the ones you suggested I would say either 1999 or Parade. But I would recommend For You. You don't seem to have any of his earliest work and For You would be a good starting point...considering it was his first album.

Foxylee, if you truly enjoy his music, voice and talent, just begin with his 1978 release "For You" and work yourself to the present. Its all good.

But Around The World In A Day and Rainbow Children are also must-haves...

What's up with that? My Lovesexy has separate tracks! I can pick and choose.I'm in the UK and my CD was manufacture in Germany, maybe it's just the US version you can't skip thru?

1999,if you want an album that gives the true essence of Prince.It has a raw feel and is the prototype for Purple Rain.

Since you said you prefered
'prince' to 'Sign O' The Times',
I think you'd probably enjoy
'The GOLD Experience' best.

I would get AROUND THE WORLD IN A DAY, but that's only because it's my personal favorite. I really can't say which would be best for you. However, you can rent "Under the Cherry Moon" for a couple of bucks to audition PARADE and you won't have to shell out more dough if it's not the right one for you. lol

GOLD EXPERIENCE!!

U will love this if u liked prince they are 2 of my fave albums...tho i think 2-3 trax near the end of prince ruin it from being in Prince's top5 albums,but its in my top5.
Yeah GOLD has everything on it u could want..funk,rock,blues,2 of the sexiest Prince songs ever in " eye H8 U" & "Shhh" & then jams like "Endorphinmachine" & "p Control",& we can't 4get "TMBGITW"
The closing track "Gold" almost has me in tears,the raw emotion of that song is so underrated,when it kicks in at the b-section of the 2nd verse,just makes me wanna punch the air & go insane,such a beautiful msg in the song.
U got2 buy "TheGoldExperience" foxy,i hope u do,post here when u have heard it,i'd love 2 hear a new fan's reaction 2 such a brilliant masterpice.
I have only been a fan for 3 years,so i know what it's like,i held off from buying "1999" 4 a long time,& i was so happy when i did,took me ahwile 2 really get in2 it,but it was worth the wait.

My Top3 Prince Albums:
Purple Rain
Gold
SOTT (this cd really is in dire need of a remaster,i usually play the SOTT tour rehearsal bootleg i have,in SoundBoard quality,since the sound is much better,7 being raw performances helps 2 nod )

Out of the choices you brought out, I would suggest 1999 be your next album. He hit a new high with that one. After that, I'd recommend Parade
The Gold Experience
Dirty Mind
Lovesexy
The Rainbow Children
They are all Prince at his very best.
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that
