I refuse to accept COME or BATMAN on any "worst list"..

There's so many others, and a lot worse Prince albums.

My reason for naming Come is that it's too short, it's like six complete songs.

Anyone claiming the Black Album as being great is reaching. It's a collectors item(I own it) nothing else. There was a good reason why Prince scrapped it.

The song Lovesexy is a musical masterpiece, the rest of the album is debatable.

See....I was going to simply discuss the fact that 'Chaos & Disorder' moved from my "worst" list to my "okay" list after many years of ignoring it then re-listening to it with an open mind.

However...your latter inclusion of freakin' LOVESEXY (not to mention BLACK) as a candidate for ANY sort of "worst" tells me that instead of an open discussion, I should offer you an open vial of strong mind-altering pharmaceuticals.

1. The Slaughterhouse

2. Rave

3. C&D

4. Planet Earth

5. 20Ten

I was asked for MY worst list not yours.

I'm a little surprise to see Batman on some lists as well. But it is what it is. Some people figure Prince was already falling off around that time. Then again, some music critics thought Prince fell off with Around The World In A Day!

If & when we ever meet, I will buy you a drink.
Or two.

Or ten.

THEN we'll discuss Lovesexy.

Totally agree, Batman at least only has 2 really bad songs, Lemon Crush and Arms of Orion, the rest ranges from Cookie Cutter (Trust, Vicki waiting) up to fucking brilliant (Scandalous, Electric Chair).

I want to extend this proclaimation to any one that chooses any of the follwoing albums, Dirty Mind, Controversy, 1999. Prince's early 80s brilliance should NEVER be bought into question
