Oh yeah, and Forever In My Life has to be in that list too...
From the recent stuff, I'd maybe pick Colonized Mind, but that'll turn out in a few years.

Cause I don't dig his 90s stuff that much. Actually I would rate almost any of his 80s albums over almost any from the 90s any time. Looking at how high many folks cherish albums like Come or Emancipation, which are 80% crap IMO, I don't feel so extremely "typical" at all... Damn, actually Come made me quit listening to Prince for years...

well actually I think Come hasnt dated that much 2 be honest..compared 2 alot of his other stuff. I mean I only listened 2 Lovesexy once I found it a bit 2 cheesy chow mein (apart from anna stesia..the only song I digged) Its also like people seem 2 love bat-dance...I just dnt get it the songs terrible confused

Got you, but Batman was his second worst effort after those 90s albums to me as well... Actually, Batman and Come would both will always apply for my "Worst Prince LP" prize at the end of the day, and I'd call it a close game...
As to Come, I simply hated it from the first time I heard it, and I think I never pulled it out deliberatly agein since then. To me, it's just a bunch of uninspired blah, again, it's about opinions and taste.. Like I said, I was a Prince maniac, and it was Come only which made me abandon listen to ANY Prince stuff for YEARS.....So, to me, there's nothing to be dated, once wack, always wack IMO...
Lovesexy, on the other hand, still I would consider his best album after SOTT, but that's (again) definitely where it's a matter of taste..

Batdance is the SH__!!
The first time I heard it, I said out loud it would be a #1 single or an incredible flop. I had to hear it again to 'get it.' Then it was on . . . .
