For me, it's all about the music - albums, 12" singles, b-sides, experiments..

Those are things I don't hear about being available anymore, but I'm sure I heard them still being made in vinyl format...?

I still have old cassette tapes but don't have anything to play them on (non Prince related).

And yeah, I've heard before that I people like the experimental stuff... so does that mean you like the instrumentals... weren't those experimantal?

I love the 1980-1988 period because the music was off the hook very diverse the band members were really interesting characters and there was also the protege groups.

Prince had a little world revolving around him. the Mystery the long versions and b sides the look

As long as the purple Lover man is wearing mascERA it's all good, because he is setting ideal example to what a very stylish man is !

*WINK*

And to folks like me, my entire world revolved around Prince.

Wherever Prince is...that's the best era!! So as long as he is around, I'm happy!! My world revolves around him

OK, but I LOVED the Purple Rain era, mainly because that cd is so amazing and the movie was amazing! It was also the beginning of my love for him, so...

But in all honesty, every era has its positives, the negatives are irrelevant!

ONA. Great music, many albums, a cool website, great interaction with the fans (celebration, soundchecks, front seats for npg members, ...) nice aftershow boots (bataclan paris the best of boots that I own IMO) john blackwell and the horns.

1978-1984

Very current sounding for the years in which the albums were released (back when current sounding was actually a good thing) and the songs didn't sound out of place played inbetween the other R&B artists of that era. At the same time, very much a sound of his own also.

I would have to say the pre-SLAVE era .
