For me it's:

Klopf, klopf!

Wer ist dort?

Unterbrechende Kuh.

Unterbrech...

Last "classic" album - LoveSexy - while not as good as its forerunners its the last "mythic" album. Every track has something interesting.

Last album where he really "tried" - Emancipation or maybe TRC (its mean spirited message aside).


Havent listned to Lotusflow3r/MPLSound enought to determine if he was really trying here or if the whole thing is elaborate flame.

Last classic album, I would agree with Lovesexy, nothing is bad on that album. Last great one? The Gold Experience, last top 15 hit, great classic songs on it. Every album after has songs I have to skip, which is not the case on ones before it.

I am going to have to say "Gold Experience," but Emancipation has got plenty of quality tunes that I really love.

I don't know. I just love all of the songs, and it didn't sound flat to me, but rather fresh!

I don't get why the org has such a thing about The Rainbow Children. Prince is trying very hard with it, and it is intriguing, but the whole overbearing nature and the mixed cryptic messages make the whole thing sound like a giant headache. Plus, there's the dirge that is "Mellow". lol

TGE was the last great album for me - until Lotusflow3r and MPLSound showed up biggrin

I think these two will stand the test of time very well and will soon be referred as "classics" and "great albums" just like the other that are named here on this thread

It's not like that everybody felt in love with the "Sign of The times" album immediately when it cam out in 1987 (I for myself hated SOTT when it first came out- I really couldnt stand it! Now i see it as a classic as probably everbody else does... biggrin )
