Well, that narrows it down. lol

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

Right. lol unless we're counting boots I don't think I even own 20 Prince albums...because only 5-10 are must haves anyway.

I'm sick and tired of the Prince fans being sick and tired of the Prince fans that are sick and tired!

Maybe they were going out of the whole Top 5 or Top 10 favourite mode, which surely would make up 10% of all thread topics on the org and also account for most of the one page or less threads as well.

I mean how many times do people need to know that most of us will rate Purple Rain, Sign, Parade, 1999, Gold Experience and Dirty Mind as our favourite albums.

And yes there are some of us who think Prince has made more than 10 good albums, my list (Pre bootleg days gave 28 albums a good or better rating) and at least as many bootleg albums as well.

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

If I could only own 20 Prince albums:

I'd be a naked man in the street, trying to sell 13 Prince albums and quite likely be arrested. I'd probaly be singing 'Take Me With U' or something as appropriate. Unless o course I could blag my squeaky ass into some place nice and warm with a record deck.
