The Gold Experience is either first, second or third. And the album is out of print, that's sad, one of Prince's BEST album, and it's not for all to hear! ![]() Sorry... needed to let it out!!! It's cool, it's out of my system now, I'm cool... ![]() Richard. | |

Don't be mad at WB for keeping Prince's music out of print he is just as bad, probably worse. Several of his post WB releases which he is sole owner of are no longer in print. | |

His 90s output is not comparable to his 80s output, but it's still very solid.
Each album ranked 1-10. Some rankings are moderate, that doesn't mean that these albums lack several great songs, it just means that there are too many ok songs or fillers on them. 1. The Gold Experience - 8.5 2. ![]() 3. Diamonds & Pearls - 8 4. Come - 7.5 5. Emancipation - 6 6. Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic - 6 7. Graffiti Bridge - 6 8. New Power Soul - 5.5 9.

Some people don't like Crystal Ball very much, I don't know why its brilliant, theres classic 90s songs on it too like Lovesign, Hide the Bone, Ripopgodazippa, So Dark, Tomorrow and Calhoun Square, surely these are classics ? ![]() So what are u going 2 do? R u just gonna sit there and watch? I'm not gonna stop until the war is over. Its gonna take a long time | |

![]() I like most of the material on CB individually (the Come/Gold era stuff is up there with the best of that era), but as a collection I don't think it works at all. | |

Definitely patchier, but still great overall, in my book! The numbers are from my albumranker program to make relative comparisons more precise.
I'd say a comparable star rating would go as follows: 5 stars: 85+ 4.5 stars: 75-85 4 stars: 65-75 3.5 stars: 55-65 3 stars: 45-55 2.5 stars: 35-45 2 stars: 25-35 1.5 stars: 15-35 1 star: 10-15 0.5 stars: 5-10 0 stars: 0-5 All-time rank in my albums list in parentheses: The Gold Experience 89.2 (#11) Crystal Ball 88.4 (#12) ![]() Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic 81.2 (#61) Come 62.6 (#192) The Vault: Old Friends 4 Sale 60.2 (#211) Graffiti Bridge 54.8 (#258) Diamonds and Pearls 51.8 (#275) The Truth 37.4 (#376) Emancipation 31.1 (#425) Chaos and Disorder 28.4 (#445) Kamasutra 11.2 (#565) Newpower Soul 9.6 (#573) [Edited 7/9/09 1:21am] Feel free to join in the Prince Album Poll 2018!

1. O.S. (Symbol album)
2. Crystal Ball 3. The Hits/Bsides (I guess I am calling it an album) 4. Diamonds and Pearls 5. Come 5. Gold Experience (the two 5th places are intentional) 7. Graffiti Bridge 8. Rave 9. Emancipation 10. Chaos and Disorder I prefer to withhold my opinion of the other albums. Nonetheless, if all of the songs I like from those albums were compiled into one album, I would put it at 8.
