In U`r view what was the album that really blew u away and u said That was pure genesis? And the best out the unreleased Trax (in studio r Live)

Hmmm-
Best Album On First Listen-The Gold Experience
Best Album Now-Sign O'The Times

Best Unreleased Tracks-Empty Room 95
Place In Heaven

---

Around the World In Day
...(the most amazing 'pop' record ever.. at the time compared to Sgt. Peppers ... but Sgt. Peppers was naff compared to ATWIAD).

17 years later no-one has got near it

2nd Dirty Mind ... just for what it stood for in terms of creativity and breaking with the set image for a young black musician at the end of the disco era

3rd Come. 2 years without a new album then this!!! O Lord!!! Only 2 songs I'd not listen to over and over again (Race and Lose)

Sayin I asked the question I him as well give my answer.
For Best Album up2 date would b Sign O the Times/Purple Rain (its Hard) Best unreleased trax would have 2 b Empty Room95

It really depends on my mood...

but these days, it comes down to these (in no particular order):

PARADE
SIGN O THE TIMES
THE RAINBOW CHILDREN
LOVESEXY
1999

I guess I usually say "Lovesexy"

Unreleased:

WONDERFUL ASS
IN A LARGE ROOM WITH NO LIGHT
ALL DAY, ALL NIGHT

Note: I'm very underschooled in unreleased tracks.

2. Lovesexy
3. Graffiti Bridge

1. Around The World In A Day - It really confirmed me as a fan for life.

1999. After that I was a Fan. The Ultimate Party/Dance album.

Emancipation That was some of the most beautiful songs he ever wrote, inspired by .

There's a difference between BEST & FAVORITE...

1999 is still my fav, DMSR cannot be beat!!

The mix "gold exodus come the beautiful experience 02/94 concert" puuure shit!!!
in fact between 93-95!!!

Listen to Race extented version and remixed version, DMSR is dead!!!

FUNK DELICATE

To this day I still find it hard to find a Prince album that cold top "Purple Rain". Until I see something better come along, this is my favorite album ever.

Any album released 1980-1988 blew me away and was pure genius by any standards.
After that, I'd say sections of albums have been wonderful, but never the whole album. Rainbow Children is the closest IMO
Empty Room 95 is my favourite unreleased track.

I agree man, It started for me with this album and will end with this album!!!

All time fav...

I have to say

Sign 'O' The Times... Hands down

Blue
Times...times

TOSS UP between the soundtrack of the 80's
PURPLE RAIN ...
AND the soundtrack of my senior year of high school...
SIGN O THE TIMES.

Favorite unreleased track: Wonderful ASS.The Revolution at it's best!
