I see nobody's picked "Digital Garden" yet. My favorite is a tie between that song and "Last December." I like the tribal percussion used in "Digital Garden" and the killer  solo halfway through is AWESOME. Clearly influenced by Santana (along with the musical interlude in the last 2 minutes of the title track, it builds up the same way the end of Santana's "Black Magic Woman").
There's just something about Digital Garden that is just 
"Last December" I've found really touching. It makes you think and the first couple of times I heard it, I was  ...either because I was touched or for another reason...
I've only heard this album a handful of times, though. It's not so much the deep voice that bothers me as the fact it's a little too band-oriented and there's not enough of that Prince-ly vibe that I feel in all his work somewhere  Digital Garden captures the old 80's style of 1999 and places it in a new context. I like it for that, and for the experimentation of it. Not my favorite, but I can see why it is yours. My Legacy

Thank you for pointing that out. It is not only Family name, but Muse 2 the Pharoah has a bit of antisemitism also. I really do not like anything on the Rainbow Children Album, simply because I thought the music was bad. Overall, it is my least favorite Prince album. However,I liked some of the stuff when I went to the One Night Alone show and it sounds good on the One Night Alone collection. I abdicated the throne in Ithaca, but now I am...

One of my least favourite albums, but apart from the 'preachy' lyrics The last december is a late career gem. | |
