I was not always happy with the artwork on his albums. Sometimes it looked really cheap. I think with better artwork he could have sold more albums to people who were just casual fans. My favorites are:
1. Parade 2. Dirty Mind 3. Lovesexy 4. Purple Rain 5. The Rainbow Children | |

1. Sign o' the Times 2. The Rainbow Children 3. Around the World in a Day 4. Parade 5. Diamonds & Pearls (more for the innovative cover design than the image itself)

1. Around the World In a Day The painting actually illustrates the songs. Image and music go hand in hand. Perfect. 2. Purple Rain That shot of him on his motorbike perfectly captures his image at the time. Iconic. 3. Lovesexy Quote from the Dutch book Prince de biografie: "This time he is naked, all he wears is his faith. 4. 1999 Just like ATWIAD, these drawings tell us more about Prince than a photo would. 5. The Black Album No joke! The music black, both in the sense that it's funky and that it's dark. And it was supposed to be an anonymous release. What better way to do that? | |

1) Purple Rain 2) Around the World in a Day 3) Parade 4) Sign of the Times 5) The Black Album ('cos it's like the Batman album but minus the batman sign) The world's problems like climate change can only be solved through strategic long-term thinking, not expediency. In other words all the govts. need sacking!
If you can add value to someone's life then why not. Especially if it colors their days... | |

Most of them are pretty bad and Photoshop looking, but here are the first 5 that come to mind.
Purple Rain Come Around the World in a day Batman (Just because I like all things Batman so much)
I will throw in my bottom 5:
Lovesexy. Still traumatizing. New Power Soul Emancipation Rave AOA (Insert something clever here) |

ATWIAD
honorable mention to 1999
... a shame I find most of his post-Lovesexy artwork to be subpar, as I have no particular fixation on his 80s period... Well, I still enjoy the cover artwork to 3121 and Come... Rainbow Children has a nice painting on the cover but the design itself is quite generic... All others... | |

Ignoring the music completely and just looking at them as pieces of 2D art, I'm gonna say these three are by far are the best, but it's actually kind of shocking to see how many poor album sleeves he had:
