I don't really listen to the eighties stuff anymore. I've heard it to death.

I never seem to tire of Come 1993, though.

I haven't listened to Prince (other than new material) for quite some time. I really need to revisit a lot of it!

That said, my least listened to albums are:

Chaos and Disorder
Emancipation
NewPower Soul
The Rainbow Children
Xpectation
NEWS
The Slaughterhouse
The Chocolate Invasion

Least listened to:

New Power Soul
The Vault
Chaos & Disorder
N.E.W.S.
Slaughterhouse
The Chocolate Invasion
The Truth

and ONA: Piano - but this one is different. I don't listen to this often because it's not an "everyday-listening" type of album.

I don't revisit the 80s stuff much now, although in the 80s and 90s I listened to them to the point of nerdishness.

The 90s albums? I avoid 'Come', and don't listen much to Diamonds & Pearls.

In fact, those 2 are my choices.

New Power Soul:
Don't have it, will never buy it

RAVE
Don't have it, will never buy it, might download / burn some songs

The Rainbow Children
Have it, can not listen to it.

You should, that is a quality album.

Planet Earth

Rave

Graffiti Bridge...however, I made my own version with only Prince tracks (minus the title track) and added long version of Theives & NPG...and added Grand Progression, Funky Design, and Mad...which seem to work well with the other tunes. THIS home made job get a LOT of play.

NEWS

Symbol

For You

Agreed It's Prince's most underrated album and possibly my favorite album (I'm not saying it's his greatest just my favorite)


My least played are

For You
Prince
Girl 6
The Very Best Of

Thats true for me too... although I usually skip "orgasm" to avoid peaking the curiousities of my neighbors.

Graffiti Bridge
The Black Album

The Black Album
Controversy (what sounded genius 10 years ago now sound a bit dated)
Around the World in a Day
Purple Rain (I think I have heard that enough times to last me the last 20 years)
Dirty Mind (see above)
Parade (again, see above)
Sign of the Times (one last time, see above)
Batman (least favorite Prince album)
Graffiti Bridge (just because)
Come (still have not given it a proper listen through. One day)
Emancipation (see above)
New Power Soul (this album has not convinced me yet)
Diamonds and Pearls (see above, although it does have some standout tracks)

Finally listened to this a week ago and it blew my mind, despite the fact that I have owned it for at least 6 or 7 years.

It's one of those albums that has the power to do that.

I thought it was good but not one of his best untill I saw him do Chaos and Disorder - I Like It There at the Indigo on the 28th August.

I listend to the album the next day and it's stunning. Had U is such a great track, Into the light, Same December, Dig U Better Dead... Awsome

typo queen is not going 2 b happy with u ..SHE LOVES TONY M

1. The Black Album - if it hadn't been shelved for all those years, I don't think it would have nearly the reputation it does. A bad, bad album that's only saved by "Le Grind", "When 2 R In Love", and "Rock Hard In a Funky Place".

2. New Power Soul - Yikes.

3. Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic - see #2

4. Diamonds and Pearls - talk about uneven.

Sign Of The Times
It sounds poorly made.

It's a funny question for me...

a) In retrospect, I've found myself playing:
Controversy
ATWIAD
The Black Album
NewPower Soul
Rave Un2 (not cuz I dont like, I promise )
The Rainbow Children

very little...

but so many people dogged me early on to listen to the albums in order that I'm actually doing it.
Granted, I got interrupted with the Leno performances and the new albums...
but generally, I listen to all of the albums equally. The handful I listed, not quite as much. The first 3, not quite as good as the other 80's MONSTERs of albums
the next two... just because
NewPower Soul is my least favorite out of all the albums.

The Rainbow Children, I've heard as a whole, maybe 8 times. But most recently, I think I'm starting to break it in

One Nite Alone Live & Crystal Ball 97 version. Now I played the hell outof these when they came and through the years. Just going by my itunes play count

As far as things I own..i never listen to The Rainbow Children or Rave but:

1. I never bought "FOR YOU"...so I never listen to it, though I have some tracks

2. I never bought "N.E.W.S." so the same as above..but with NO tracks lol

3. I had a copy of "Slaughterhouse/The Chocolate Invasion" lost it..have no desire to go find it

4. I bought each of the following and they have been stolen or lost but I truly don't need to find the replacements: "New Power Soul", "The Vault", "Emancipation" (i have a track or two , but never TRULY got into it), LotusFlow3r lol
