When Prince finally releases an album, it's perfect in his eyes. When it reaches his idea of perfection, he's ready to part with it and let the public savor his latest creation.

Even I don't believe Prince is perfect and none of his albums are 100% perfection. I say: "Nothing in this world is perfect and if something is perfect, its not of this world."

maybe that's where they get the phrase "it's out of this world" from.

Every thing he's written has a flaw in it somewhere, but the question I pose is which album do u think is closest to that idea of perfect?

I have a couple I'd like to offer up, but actually, I'd like to say that "Dirty Mind" is one of them. Every track is a good track and it serves its purpose on the album. Each one has its place, which is ironic considering that the tracks were a bunch of demos Prince had lying around the house

Do any of u think 1999, Purple Rain, SoTT, Parade or any of his 90's albums could be the closest 2 perfection of any of his albums?

That's ridiculous, Prince has released many albums for nothing more than because he was under contract to do so. Prince himself has told how he was not happy with "Parade" and wish he had spent more time on it before releasing it. What the heck are you talking about?

I think "For You." is perfect.

i would have to say 1999 is a perfect album and he has never reached that level of perfection again

SOTT is perfect. One Nite Alone is damn close to perfection.

At least for me...

He didn't like the Black Album...that's why he pulled it and released Lovesexy. I'm just sayin'.

I think artistically, SOTT is the closest to perfection; but, commercially, it's definitely Purple Rain.
