Parade is a very overrated album. Some very good tracks on it, but the rest is subpar. Also, the Parade tour I find incredibly boring.

Plus I'll add this: "Moonbeam Levels" is HIGHLY overrated.

I used to think that people who like Prince's music must necessarily have good taste.

You two are bringing this opinion of mine in a sad and lonely place.

Call My Name is one of his best ballads, especially lyrically.

Yes, i believe the same and musically is great too

Hey, I've got another one: I like the 21 Nights photo book/ live cd and never really understood what folks here have against it.

the book is "ok".

The cd is completely crap imho.

I skip Housequake. I think Rainbow Children is light years ahead of Purple Rain. I actually think Under the Cherry moon was a decent movie (caveat: Christopher Nolan is my favorite director). I Wish U Heaven is in my top 10 favorite Prince songs. His Parade era was his best fashion period.

Parade into Sign of the Times was his best... 'my new friend, the polka dot suit...'

Around The World In A Day is a somewhat boring album.A few great tunes,but it's no masterpiece.

boring?? ATWIAD-->Paisley Park-->Condition of the Heart is one of his best 3 opening songs to an album ever!!!

I loved the $99 lifetime membership to LotusFlower

Prince needs help with mixing his current records. They aren't bad they are bland. He doesn't use many effects and filters like he used to.

His keyboard player Reynoldo (?) or whatever has zero feel while he plays.

The original NPG did more writing than the Revolution.

Tony M is not that bad......TC ELLIS on the other hand

Under The Cherry Moon is his best film.

I like PRince (the 1st LP) wayyyy more than Dirty Mind

The way Prince dances is just ridiculous

No it's not, your claim is, it´s very spontaneous and really interesting

I owned the book for all of about 2 days. Left it on a train and wasnt particularly bothered. Its probably still there. However, I must be one of the few that does actually like the CD. Im not sure why its hated on so much.

I like the CD, was at both the shows it was taken from, nice to have parts of each in great quality. I have the full shows on boot too, so the cd not being a full show doesn't bother me.

The book though...

"Dead On It" and "So Strong" are masterpieces.

I DON´T THINK HIS SUPERBOWL PERFORMANCE IT'S THAT GREAT, I DON´T LIKE THAT HE CHANGES HIS SONGS THAT MUCH IN LIVE PERFORMANCES.

I don't like "I Would Die 4 U," and it's the only song I skip on Purple Rain.

Grafitti Bridge is my favorite of his 90s albums, then Come.

I like "P Control."

I prefer Lisa's vox on "A Place In Heaven" over P's.

I don't really care for "All My Dreams," and I think the Parade-era, as a whole, is overrated.

I like "Walk Don't Walk," "Baby Knows," and "Bambi."

The song "The Exodus Has Begun," is in my top 20 P songs.

The 00's were his best decade for ballads.

HIs second album (1979) is superior to MJ's Off The Wall (unpopular?)

Diamonds & Pearls is inferior to MJ's Dangerous, 1991 (unpopular?)

I'm gay.

No way, Off The Wall is a better album.

There's not a weak track on Prince, there are a couple on Off The Wall.

No deal, just looked in the mirror one day and realized I was.

Ain't no way Off The Wall compares to Prince.

Prince would not achieve musical adulthood before "1999".

We're talking Quincy Jones, and Michael in its vocal prime.

Prince, for all the beauty of its early falsettos, sings like shit on its eponym album,
when compared to "Don't Stop" or "Rock With You", just to mention the most obvious ones.

And I'm a huge Prince fan, BELIEVE ME.
But this is going too far.
Off The Wall is a masterpiece, "Prince" is a butterfly's chrysalid.

I think "Sign O' the Times" doesn't rank in his top 5 albums, or maybe his top 10 albums. It's great compared to other artists but not great compared to other things Prince has done.
