do u think Prince has a favourite album? would it b Purple Rain bcause it made him a megastar or 1 not as popular??

Considering how much he goes back to it live, Purple Rain would be the obvious choice for sure.

For reasons that would start an entirely different topic, maybe Emancipation as a personal guess.

Thriller?

Probably not. But maybe"Off The Wall." I remember when he did a cover of "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" with Tamar in Chicago. I was SHOCKED, but ridiculously giggly and slightly giddy.


But seriously, I think Prince's favorite album is one by either Stevie, Joni, JB, or Miles. I doubt Prince fully appreciates Michael Jackson, LOL.

Well, as of the 1985 Rolling Stone interview, Prince said the last album he enjoyed all the way through was Joni Mitchell's "Hissing Of Summer Lawns".

That is not quite a clear statement of "favorite" but it provides a clue.

I never realized, but are we talking about Prince's favorite Prince album or by another artist.

I don't think he could pick a favorite album by someone else. But something by Joni Mitchell, Miles Davis or Coltrane are definite possibilities.

Isn't he also very fond of Kate Bush's Hounds of Love?

I would also say some of Larry Graham's, Sly And The Family Stone, Led Zeppelin and Rufus.

I remember him saying that he loved:

Bjork - Post
The Sundays - Reading Writing and Arithmatic
Cocteau Twins - Heaven or Las Vegas

and he Mayte's album was one of the best ever made
