Sorry but if an album has the title "the vault", I'm going to assume that it is tracks pulled from the vault, it has absolutely nothing to do with how the album flows.

The Vault OF4S is as much a 'vault' album as Graffiti Bridge. Most of it comes from the 91-93 period. I agree with novabrkr, it's one of the most cohesive albums.

1978 - For You - Baby
1979 - Prince - Still Waiting

Really?? Great songs on it. Not even ICPC? Million Days? Fury? Te Amo Corazón? MPLSound may be weaker, but has good songs too (I like Valentina - great keyboards and guitar solo - especially).

Thats hard .. the reality is most of his albums have around 3 or 4 songs that are top league stuff an close to call ...

After seeing the love for "Vicki Waiting", I revisited it and can't believe that it has always been a song that I'd skip, it's a really cool track. So thanks to everyone who gave it a mention, I could have gone the rest of my life skipping it and not knowing!

Not really his best album ... so although Vicki Waitin is an album highlight .. it deffo aint a career highlight .. an the best song on Batman .. aint even as good as the 5th best song on his best albums

I think ELECTRIC CHAIR an PARTYMAN are in the same league as VICKI ..an THE FUTURE ia pretty close

I actually love this album, although a lot of it could be nostalgic, as I have fond memories of getting into Batman at the cinema, which was a 15 back then, at the age of 8.

In fact, I always thought that "Diamonds and pearls" was my first album, but thinking back, this could have been, without any thought about who the artist was. I seem to remember playing it on tape and my sister and I writing the lyrics out to "The Arms of Orion". I loved that song back then!

Big props for "Scandalous" too, there is something about the big bell sound at the beginning, which gets me every time. I loved hearing that on the Montreux 09 DVD.
