I'd have to say a toss up between the Prince CD and 1999. I've been listening to P since the 70's & those two I have worn out multiple formats. What's yours?

Probably 1999, since I've had it since it came out and it's always been in heavy rotation.

Musicology, SOTT, Girl 6, Emancipation and Come

Definately Purple Rain. (though the majority of that was during the 80s.

Sign of the Times would be sedond, and Parade last.


Of the three albums, I like Parade the best, which is kind of wierd.





If you're talking in the last 10 years, I would say lotusflow3r, and during the 90s, definitely .

Dirty Mind with SOTT and 1999 coming up very close

sign o the times , 1999 or the black album or parade or...yah, sign o the times

Parade

the B sides CD.

"For You." and "Prince."

Probably Dream Factory

Around The World in a Day, parade and SOTT... I bought the tape as a kid and just kept on listening to it on holiday on my walkman

Prince, Controversy, Purple Rain, Around the World in a Day, Rainbow Children

Dream Factory

Glamorous Life, the Family, Vanity 6, What Time Is It?

Gold/Emancipation/1999
[Edited 8/23/09 21:47pm]

Of the "regular" releases probably 1999 and Parade.
CNote, Xpectation and the Madhouse albums get played ALL THE TIME, especially while I'm in the studio.

Of the protege stuff, Sheila, Family and Apollonia6.

Sign o the Times
Planet Earth (Incredibly, its just so catchy)
Dirty Mind (This CD has survived 15 years when I got it second hand, and it came with felt pen all over it when I bought it, its been dubbed and burned dozens of times but it just holds up)
Controversy, again its been played to death and cover art has graced many a wall over the 15 years I have had it.
1999 I think I am up to the 4th tape/3rd CD of this one now, they either wear out or someone nicked them when I was a teen.

SOTT

parade, closely followed by sing of the times and lovesexy.

Old Friends For Sale

Lotusflow3r

One Nite Alone

SOTT

Been listening to his bootlegs. I also banged Purple Rain real loud last night...sounds incredible on high volume and full bass.

# 1 "DIRTY MIND" (So short, I have to play it like 3 times in a row to make the pleasure last ... Funny thing is I'm more of a R&B fan, and this is actually his "rockest" album)
# 2 "PRINCE" (Underrated album, almost perfect... I just can't resist "I Wanna Be Your Lover", "Why you Wanna Treat Me So Bad", "When We Dance...", and "I feel For You"!)
# 3 "PURPLE RAIN" (Obviously.. Couldnt go a day without liestening to "PR" or "The Beautiful Ones"!)

....
# 1356 "GRAFFITI BRIDGE" ... EWWW! What a noisy mess!! I played the CD like twice

Vinyl album: 'Controversy'.
