My ballot:
Bracket #1: Mountains--Total light v. dark contrast. Just heard Papa on Emancipation Radio today and realized I'd forgotten about that noisy-ass vamp at the end. That so needed to be cut. Purple Rain--Hmmm...guitar or voice? This time, I gotta go guitar. Pop Life--As good as Around the World in a Day was as an album, so many of the songs were either pop-accessible or had a message. This was the only one, I thought, that had both. Illusion, Coma, Pimp and Circumstance--I'll still pick tongue-in-cheek wordplay over obtuse religious imagery every time. Bracket #2: Anotherloverholenyohead--Kind of a coin flip. The Cross--Another close one, and despite not having any affection for really religious material, songs like "The Cross" and "One of Us" really work coming from Prince, just due to the power and soul that he can put into it with his voice. If I Was Your Girlfriend--Stands up to repeated listens a little better than Black Sweat. Controversy--Again, showed that the man had something to say, and wasn't just some lewd sex pervert. Bracket #3: D.M.S.R.--Always and forever one of my favorite Prince club-bangers. Head--Showed that he could be a lewd sex pervert, and not just a keening romantic sap.
When You Were Mine--Like I said in Round 1, just way happier-sounding than any breakup song really has a right to be. Dirty Mind--What can I say? The whole album brought it hard. Bracket #4: My Name is Prince--Still gotta go with the first one that turned me on. Let's Work--The Dance, I think, might be his best ballad since The Gold Experience, but Let's Work just has an irresistible groove. When Doves Cry--Overplayed, yes, but it's still played for a very good reason. Raspberry Beret--Clash of the titans in the next round, I think. But of what's left, I can't find any that I'd vote over Beret. MAYBE The Cross, but depends on the day. | |

First, let me say that "Lion of Judah" totally got the shaft! 
Let's take it to the Sweet 16! Bracket #1: Mountains- Sheer ecstasy v. Papa Purple Rain v. Do Me, Baby- Very tough, but I have to give this the edge Pop Life v. Computer Blue- "Pop Life" should have been in the NIT! 7- Shit, ICPC should not have even made the CBI! 
v. Illusion, Coma, Pimp and Circumstance Bracket #2: I Wanna Be Your Lover v. Anotherloverholenyohead- Fairly easy win here. The Cross- Even easier. v. Little Red Corvette Black Sweat- This one was a bit tougher. v. If I Was Your Girlfriend Forever In My Life v. Controversy- Could it make the Final 4? Bracket #3: (aka the Dirty Mind Regional )
She's Always In My Hair v. D.M.S.R.- 
Uptown- My 2 faves from Dirty Mind paired against each other? 
v. Head When You Were Mine v. Automatic- My pick for the Final 4! Dirty Mind v. Girls and Boys- So slick! Bracket #4: The Beautiful Ones- Easy matchup. v. My Name is Prince Let's Work- Piece of cake! v. The Dance I Wish U Heaven- I'm pulling for the upset of all upsets here.
v. When Doves Cry Raspberry Beret v. Anna Stesia- "Raspberry Beret" is nice enough, but "Anna Stesia" is sacred. Feel free to join in the Prince Album Poll 2018! Let'a celebrate his legacy by counting down the most beloved Prince albums, as decided by you! | |
