Never understood the dislike for Arms of Orion on here, I think it's a beautiful song. In fact, I think the entire Batman Album is underrated. I personally love the muscular, dark funk on that album.
Diamonds and Pearls definitely has some suspect songs on it.
And 7 is one of my favorite Prince songs, I think it deserves at least a 9.
Thanks for doing this, it's cool to hear someone else's views on his songs! U fall in love 2 fast and hate 2 soon
And take 4 granted the feeling’s mutual | |

My mother list shows some declining marks in this era, Lovesexy capped his golden period, but you will see there were still some standout songs amongst the filler and dross. . Batman .
. Graffiti Bridge .
. Diamonds and Pearls - (The album that made me a fan) .
. Lovesymbol .
. Total marks - and these are down on the 90s in the mid 1980s albums. Batman 60 Graffiti Bridge 66 Diamonds and Pearls 72 Lovesymbol 73 Got some kind of love for you, and I don't even know your name | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

These eras are what I like to call his "wilderness period" lol. Some definite gems scattered throughout these albums, but it's a vastly inconsistent period of output compared to 80-88.
3. The Arms of Orion - 6/10
4. Partyman - 7.5/10
5. Vicki Waiting - 8/10
6. Trust - 6.5/10
7. Lemon Crush - 4/10
8. Scandolous - 6.5/10
9. Batdance - 7.5/10 ( the guitar solo absolutely slays tho)
Overall: 6.7/10
Graffiti Bridge - A mixed bag, the P tracks are the only things worth attention. A bit more interesting than Batman imo
2. NPG - 7/10
3. Release It - 6/10
4. The Question of U - 9/10
6. Round and Round - 6.5/10
7. We Can Funk - 9/10
8. Joy in Repetition - 9.5/10
9. Love Machine - 5/10 (YUCK)
10. Tick Tick Bang - 7/10 (much prefer the 1981 version)
11. Shake! - 4/10 (always skip this)
12. Thieves - 8.5/10 (underrated P pop hit, single edit should've been longer)
14. Melody Cool - 5/10 (the version w/ P's vocals was better)
15. Still Would Stand - 7.5/10
16. Graffiti Bridge - 4.5/10
17. NPG pt. 2 - 2/10 (f'n pointless imo)
Overall: 6.7/10 - the non P tracks really hold this joint down
2. Daddy Pop - 7.5/10
3. D&P - 9/10 (beautiful pure pop ballad bliss)
4. Cream - 7.5/10
5. Strollin' - 9/10 (falsetto perfection)
6. Willing and Able - 7/10
7. Gett Off - 8.5/10
9. Jughead - 7/10 (this is so marginalized its unfair. Stupid funky fun)
10. Money - 9/10
12. Insatiable - 8.5/10
13. Live 4 Love - 8/10
- superior, more experimental sequel to D&P. The ballads on this are freakin beautiful.
3. Love 2 the 9's - 9/10 (damn near perfect track, cut out the silly mid song rapping stuff)
4. The Morning Papers - 8.5/10
7. Blue Light - 7.5/10

13. The Flow - 7/10
14. 7 - 9,5/10
15. And God Created Woman - 9.5/10 (almost perfect but too short)
16. 3 Chains O' Gold - 8/10
18. Sacrifice of Victor - 8/10
Overall: 7.9/10
