From my list

1. Mountains 10/10

2. Kiss 10

3. Anotherloverholenyohead 10

4. Sometimes it snows in April 10

5. Girls and Boys 10

6. Under the Cherry Moon 10

7. Do U lie 9.5

8. Christopher Tracy's Parade 9

9. New Position 9

10. Life can be so nice 9

11. I wonder U 8.5

12. Venus De Milo 7

Parade Overall 93% A=+ (3rd best whole album, only Sign o the Times and Purple Rain I have ranked higher).

As you can see I love it all, Venus De Milo not as much as its a short instrumental but pleasant enough. I would give Mountains an 11 if I could the track, would be in my Prince Top 10.

This album is great, sublime funk numbers mixed in with some amazing ballads, assured song writing and a band sound. Plus he was rocking one of his best looks ever at the time.

Got some kind of love for you, and I don't even know your name

i agree all songs are a 9 or a 10.

The only problem I have with the album is it ending on Sometimes it snows. I think he should have kept old friends and All my dreams

Good idea, maybe we should a do a "Rate Charade and the B sides thread too"

I agree with u 2 LifeCanBeSoNice21 - Add Alexa De Paris and its even better, I of course would want " heart or $" on it too.

All the songs are pretty good, but I feel that the ones below the line are an order of magnitude below the ones above... I think the demo 'Little Girl Wendy's Parade' would have made it above the line.

Love this album. The grown up Prince album. I thought he was maturing album to album pretty nicely. Sadly that wasn't the case. After the Revolution broke up, we saw Prince start suffering from arrested development.
Parade clearly foreshadowed the greatness to come with SOTT.

My faves top to bottom.

Kiss
I Wonder U
Do U Lie
Venus De Milo
Sometimes It Snows
Anotherloverhole
Life Can Be So Nice
New Positions
Mountains
Under The Cherry Moon

Wow, I never figured it would be so difficult to do this. The top 6 are so wonderful, it's hard to believe a song as great as New Position is # 7. Only I Wonder U and Venus De Milo don't get super high marks, but since they are so short, I never skip a song when listening to this album. When I got it, I was a bit sad that there was only one real big hit on it, as I knew that Kiss would be the only Top Ten hit from my first listen. I really wanted Prince to have the hits and the critical success. The best thing though, was knowing that I still got the music when the bandwagon fans all but left the building.

One of my favorite albums, ALL the tracks are entertaining and I love the european feel. I watched Under The CHerry Moon on Netflix a while back, and I felt it wasn't bad. It just appeals to a different audience

Wow, I would kind of flip that; 'Do U Lie' is my favourite, love 'Anotherlover', 'Venus De Milo', & 'Sometimes It Snows In April'.

I agree. Plus I love Databank too how Prince would teased his bandmembers as I heard their names on the song. I was just listening to that the other day. I have to admit Prince and the Revolution will always have the magic that just can't be duplicate compare to his other bands.

This is a fool's errand. Every track is top notch.

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.
