What Prince albums do you think belong in the top 200 albums of all time

I think: 1999. Purple Rain. Around The World In A Day. and Parade should be in there.

All of 'em. In fact, they are. I just wrote a list of Top 200 albums of all time, and even Prince's instrumental albums made the cut. Life can b so nice, indeed!

Looking at the critical reception at that time,
Brilliancy, originality and pioneer-ship.

Dirty Mind
1999
Purple Rain
Sign 'O' The Times

Lotusflow3r could have been a great record,

a. NO '77 beverly park' and '4ever'
b. including 'Turn Me Loose', F.U.N.K. and 'Beggin' Woman Bluess'
c. NO MPLSound or Bria cd.
d. including 'No more candy 4 U' and Ol'Skool Company.

Top 200 albums, only these Prince albums would make that cut, and my suggested positional ranking for them.

Sign o the Times (Top 5)
1999 (Top 10)
Parade (Top 20)
Purple Rain (Top 20)
Dirty Mind (Top 50)
Lovesexy (Top 100)
Symbol (Top 200)
Controversy (Top 200)
Gold Experience (Top 200)
Crystal Ball (May just scrape in)

Complimations if allowed
Hits/Bsides (Top 10)
Ultimate (Top 200)
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
