First off, sorry if I am bringing more pain by even bringing this topic up. Is there an album or song you can not stop listening to, or an album you can't stop listening to since he took his love away? For me, it's 'Black Muse' and the last song (Dirty Mind)I listened to before waking up and seeing that horrible message that he was gone. I can't listen to his 80's material anymore as I feel so sad whe I hear it. Your thoughts?

Purple Rain album...

HitnRun 2 and Batman. Love them

Art Official Age. I regard it as a farewell to us all. "Way Back Home" is where he was, before he was born. He calls himself Mr Nelson and not Prince. He remembers his parents and thanks them for bringing him up. It all sounds like a closure. This album is also the reason why I think he knew he was slowly dying. His pain-inducing illness (whatever it may be) was incurable and he had to live on opioids and knew he had to increase the dosage day by day and one day he'd be gone.

Art Offical Age...I just love "Clouds" it uplifts my spirits...it is hard to listen to "Way Back Home" though...I find myself skipping it not because I don't like it..but because it is too heavy for me right now.

All of them. i still struggle to listen to anyone else right now. Tried to get knee deep into Frank Oceans album, but went right back to Prince.

I really can't deal with much of his recent output. So I always go pre-1997. There is on one album for me, it's just that first half of his career that is so great. It's such a journey to get from For You to Around The World In A Day, or Parade to Batman. Such interesting trips one can take.

For You, AOA & both hit & runs

I've listened to Parade so much in the last four months, which in itself isn't that rare for me as it's probably my most listened to Prince album over the decades, and so it being my 'go to' album right now makes sense.

What's more surprising is how many times I've found myself listening to the Batman album. I liked it okay at the time, but It's never been in heavy rotation for me as the years went by... until now.

SOTT & Parade

strangely - Art Offical Age and HitnRun part1

ive merged these into 1 album that I am in love with.

I've barely listened to Prince at all since April. Honestly it still hits me every now and again that he's gone and I'm dumbstruck all over again. Like I'm fine coming here and shooting the breeze, but hearing his voice is still quite raw. #realtalk.

For me its the 1999, What Time Is It? by The Time and Vanity 6.......3 albums Prince that wrote and produced, the classic Mn Sound

Not an album...but the Montreux 2009 concert, especially Prince's performance of "When I Lay My Hands On You..." at the same time...

I keep going back to Lovesexy. I'm basically listen to everything, all periods, jumping around, but this one I keep coming back to most often. Has always been a favorite and it's comforting to me I suppose.

AOA ...just AOA.

The Slaughterhouse. Never got around to it before, somehow. Funky stuff. Raw.
