Which 5 albums? Hypothetical situation - for whatever reason you're forced to select only 5 Prince albums to listen to for the rest of your life. Here's the twist - they need to be chronological and consecutive (and "proper" Prince albums only, no Madhouse, etc...). Which 5 do you choose? For me there's only 2 options:
1 - DM/Controversy/1999/PR/ATWIAD 2 - 1999/PR/ATWIAD/Parade/SOTT
...the head says option 2, but, in my heart of hearts, I can't not listen to Dirty Mind for the rest of my life, so option 1 wins. [Edited 8/4/16 7:10am] | |

Oh too hard! I'll probably have to choose this option...but how I'd live without Crazy You I don't know! 1. Prince/Dirty Mind/Controversy/1999/Purple Rain or to be brutal and recognize my need for Scandalous and the Electric Chair in my life. 2. Around the World in a Day/Parade/Sign of the Times/Lovesexy/Batman | |

Hmmm...this is very hard, I cannot fathom only choosing 5 albums but if you must insist:
Option no.1:
1. 1999 2. Purple Rain 3. Sign O' the Times 4. 3121 5. Lotusflow34
Option no.2
1. Prince 2. Dirty Mind 3. Black Album 4. Come 5. Art Official Age
I guess option 1 would be my pick though since the first 3 are my favorites...

Purple Rain / Around The World In A Day / Parade / Sign O The Times / Black
I personally place Black chronologically after SOTT in my collection as that's where it was originally planned to be released. | |

Its too easy to pick the early stuff. I might be the only person to pick these, but this was when I was at the height of my Prince fandom....
D&P Come TGE Chaos and Disorder
The Black Album is in the middle there, but I dont consider that within the flow of his new work. I also appreciate the other stuff squashed in like The Undertaker, Exodus, the Come remixes, The Beautiful Experience, and a few other nuggets of greatness.

THIS QUESTION IS INSANITY!!! OMG, so hard... 1: For You/Prince/DM/Controversy/1999 2: 1999/PR/ATWIAD/Parade/SOTT, but I'd swap ATWIAD for any of the first 4 albums in a heartbeat Bottom line - a scenario without 1999 ain't no scenario! | |

Alrigtht I forgot the word consecutive, my intended point was that the OP asked for chronological AND consecutive. | |

Looking at the way Tidal is offering the albums, two other options: . Lotusflow3r/MPLS 20Ten AOA Plectrum (meh) HnR 1&2 . Symbol Hits/B-Sides (most of the 80s hits and essential B-sides) Come Black album Gold exp.
