Since I'm new around here, I wanted to know everyone's favorite era of Prince.

Either Lovesexy or Parade.

85-88. The breadth of colour he applied to his music was unique. His artistry was never more prevalent.

His artistry was great to me in the 1990s. What do you think of the Batman Era?

What do you think of the Amazing 'Diamonds and Pearls' era?

The "plastic years" (1996-2001).

And I must be the only one

Okay and favorite album from those years?

1980 -1983 Dirty Mind to 1999 era, sexy and inventive

1984 - 1987 Purple Rain to formulation of Lovesexy - The Genius phase, where he was the wizard of pop and rock music.

I adore his 1990s era.

But seeing you are new here, you might not be hip to, or care for unreleased stuff

Nope, music is music. We shouldn't judge it like that and other fans shouldn't either. I listen to unrelease material from several artists.

The music he did during the so called "Dream Factory" and "Crystal Ball" sessions that lead to him releasing Sign "O" The Times. The guy was in top form live in 1986-88 as well. Besides, I like how much more relaxed he seemed then than during the Purple Rain days or what followed.

I really tripped a lot on the trilogy made of Newpower Soul, Come 2 My House and GCS 2000.
