The Camille album. A lot of tracks ended up on other albums. But as a whole it was better than the black album which was over ratted. [Edited 3/26/10 15:18pm] | |

Spinzilla said: I really, really enjoy Come and Lotusflow3r/MPLSound. I think the latter could use a little more loving, but that's just me. I hated the album(s) at first too, but they grew on me pretty quickly. And Come is just a roller coaster of music awesomeness.
Yeap those two plus NEWS and the Rainbow Children | |

Although ever since hearing "I Like It There" at the Conga Room, Chaos & Disorder has gotten mad spins, lol. Yep. I recently rediscovered this one. It's not a great album as such but it is full of great songs. I don't think it qualifies as great as it all sounded just a little bit late (not surprising as most of the songs were old ones), but there are so many good songs on there. And I'll have to add TRC - best album since then  | |

#1 - COME definitely underated.
#2 - Chaos and Disorder ThankUPrince! | |

I never see much written about Diamonds and Pearls on the org and I play that alot, so that's underrated. And I agree with everone else, COME is much better than what the music critics said at the time it was released IMO. There came a time when the risk of remaining tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. Anais Nin. | |

My personal choice is Emancipation. I think that album covered so many genres and nailed them all. Doing a 3 disc set is a risk and has more potential of people not liking more of your songs, but I really do love this album. Mr. Happy and Damned If I do were really the only ones that I didn't admire. Planet Earth  Peace ... & Stay Funky ...

[Edited 3/20/10 12:13pm] If Emancipation had been released by D'Angelo or any other newbye it would have been called the album of the century (which it was) 
I'd say N.E.W.S. is much underrated, too. [Edited 4/8/10 5:45am] A COMPREHENSIVE PRINCE DISCOGRAPHY (work in progress ^^): https://sites.google.com/...scography/ |

This one's easy.
One Nite Alone - Piano and runner-up would be The Vault: Old Friends 4 Sale. If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

Batman and LotusFlow3r | |

I'd have to agree with Lotusflow3r. To me, it's a great album - sonically and thematically consistent, short and to the point, a great mix of commercial and experimental appeal, varying subject matter, and lots of rockin' guitars! It has that 'Princely' feel to it IMO. And although it was a #2 album in the US, it's almost unheard of to the rest of the world. Toejam @ Peach & Black Podcast: http://peachandblack.podbean.com

For me his most underrated album amongst fans is "Purple Rain".
Overall, his most underrated of all is probably "The Black Album". |

From the publics point of view i'd have to say The Gold Experience
This was easily Prince's best work since lovesexy and its a shame it didnt last like all his 80's albums. I know a lot of people here love it but no one else seems to like they love Purple Rain Its such a shame [Edited 4/11/10 3:31am] | |

Emancipation, lotusflow3r or  .
All of them better than what the critics gave them credit for being. | |

Emancipation and Graffiti Bridge
On the real, tho, many of his other albums that dropped in the '90s are underrated too. | |
| - E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
Emancipation is a good choice, and I'm going to go with that as my answer also. It feels like his last really cohesive set. There's an over-reaching theme, as well as a theme for each disc. And only a few songs that I really don't care for. Good choice. | |

Chaos and Disorder, The Rainbow Children and Emancipation, though I can't believe that Emancipation is classed as an "unloved album"!!
And I'd fight any Grizzley in the ring over Grafetti Bridge. | |
