I personally feel ALL albums have clunkers but I'll go with Sign O' the Times since that's my fav.

I can't think of a single album I own across ALL genres that doesn't have at least one song that I either don't enjoy or really downright hate. And Prince is no exception. "Sign 'O' The Times" and "Purple Rain" come very very close to being "all killer no filler", but I'm not really a fan of "If Eye Was Ur Girlfriend" or "The Beautiful Ones" from those respective albums.

(And SOTT is my fave as well.)

FOR YOU through SIGN O' THE TIMES.

.

an impressive, amazing, unmatched 10-year streak

where every album somehow improved on its predecessor

or maintained the high level of excellence.

.

the 1st "subpar" track was that "shockadelica" b-side.

starting there, the brilliance was less frequent & less remarkable.

What the hell? Shockadelica is masterpiece of a song.

Dirty Mind Purple rain Parade 1999 has All The Critics which seems like filler now Controversy has Ronnie talk to Russia ATWIAD has the awful and boring Temptation SOTT has Slow Love and am gonna say it: U got the look

It's not, it's a good song.

Definitely. I've been a fan since the "Year 1999" album. When I heard "My Little Red Corvette", I was hooked. After that I bought all his singles for my collection. "I'm Delirious", "When Doves Cry Out", "Let's All Get Crazy", "Purple Rainfall", "Raspberry Chapeau", "Pop Art Life", "Signs Of Our Times", "U Have The Looks", "Alphabetical Street"... even "Batdancing" is awesome.

.

So yeah, I'm a huge fan. Maybe one of the biggest fans on the Org.

Eh, it's called Keep Bustin', you're getting it mixed up with the movie it's off which is called Batdance. A common mistake in fairness.

Oh I forgot ATWIAD. That is also clunker free.

I disagree that album has two clunkers: "Tamborine" and "Temptation"

Not only my two favorites of the album, but among my all time favorites...

BEAUGARDE said:

Wow, which songs are the clunkers?

In my opinion they are: • Christopher Tracy's Parade • New Position • I Wonder U • Life Can Be So Nice • Venus De Milo • Do U Lie?

I beg to differ. I like 98% of his stuff. It just so happens that Parade has a lot of the songs that I don't like. Although I suppose I will never be considered a true fan by your metrics.

I say I say It's a joke son (c) Foghorn

theres different types of "fans"..

We March. It has "skip me please" sign over.

'Now'. That was always awful too. The invention of the CD really caused some horrible bloated albums. I'm glad in the last decade he cut that back and we got some solid, shorter albums with more focus.

It's not too late. I suggest a prescription of 'Parade', go to bed, no distractions, headphones on nightly for a full week.

Shit, it took me 15 years to "get it" so your remedy may work as well

Let's face it, Purple RAIN is by far the only Prince album with no clunkers. Every tracks could have been released as a single. That's the reason why it had so much success.

And the reason why the following albums failed to approach the sales of Purple Rain, because it contained so much clunkers.
