WHAT POST 1989 ALBUM COULD HAVE BEEN PART OF HIS CLASSIC ERA? What post 1989 album do you feel Prince could have released in 1989 and still have been considered part of his amazing run of the Prince "Classic Era"? For me, had he released The Rainbow Children or Love Symbol (maybe even Art Official Age) directly after Lovesexy, they would have been included as part of his classic era string of challenging or just superior albums.

Gold experience if it wasn't so over produced. I heard the original version of gold and it kills the released version. | |

Graffiti Bridge since it was so connected to the Lovesexy era some different songs(seperate from the Time and the other artists) other than that I don't think any other album could be connected to the period. That Golden era consisted of so many ingredients: band members/proteges, engineers, manager and just musical vision -much different from any other time period. Rainbow Children could be a followup to that period, the lyrics would be much different. | |

I would argue Come and The Gold Experience are part of his classic era anyway. http://www.goldiesparade.co.uk/ - Prince discography, tour history, news and more. | |

GoldiesParade said: I would argue Come and The Gold Experience are part of his classic era anyway. Agreed. I feel like over time people (at least on the Org) have stretched his classic era from 1980-1988 to 1980-1995. And I would agree with that.

TGE. He had a lot of publicity around that time because of the name change and it was also pretty sucessful due to TMBGITW | |

It should have been more sucessful because there was great music from late 93-94...
However interms of commercial success, as recalled in Alex Hans and Per Nilsens books... TGE album was a very moderate underwhelming success just going GOLD and sold just a little more than the dissapointing commercial success of COME... Also the European tour was not a huge success, many shows did not sell out and had to cut their whole stage props down throughout the shows to save cost. | |

well i should give it a chance, 'cause everyone here says is great. The album i think is so overrated it's The Gold Experience. | |

"The Gold Experience" is overrated because it arrived after a lot of WTF albums: 1-800-new-funky, Exodus, Come, The hits-the b-side, the beautiful experience, the 'poor mastering black album'. After a lot of bullshit, The Gold Experience was *a album* at least. IMHO [Edited 7/14/15 1:07am] | |

Graffiti Bridge minus the filler songs and the other artists... Would be classic...

The Classic Era, to me, ends with The Gold Experience. I think by then, he had said everything he was ever going to say, and honestly I can't imagine living without any of these albums. Even the low points (Graffiti Bridge movie, eg) were part of his story. . Imagine if Prince had retired after TGE? 17 albums and quite a legacy, with a level of musical quality that was sustained almost throughout the entire run. . Everything after -- C&D, OF4S, Emancipation, NPS, etc. never quite achieved the same level. | |
