The Hits-B-Sides because it has 3 discs and it has amazing songs from my favorite albums.

PARADE~Anytime

Its totally Unique

Its Everfresh

It always puts me in a good mood

I can do really cool moves to Boys and Girls

Its only Mountains and the Sea

Kiss...Makes me wanna Daynce

Lovesexy.

1st album bought. It allowed me to find the place in my heart where my hair was swept back on one side....that's when I had hair, of course.

My choise is Lovesexy (as well).

I love all the songs and the sound with the screaming guitars, so uplifting, so spiritual...

Lovesexy, I feel this is Prince's most "personal" album.

I also know that Purple Rain and Sign 'O' The Times and maybe 1999 and Parade are even better albums, (could be)

But I still prefer Lovesexy, it's the album I have listened to the most times, since may '88 (is my guess).

What a wonderful piece of music. I love this fine album!

"Lovesexy" is the one.

Around The World In a Day. As for why, why not?

Emancipation.

It has 36 tracks on it and the songwriting throughout is just fine in the end.

I can imagine the LinnDrum there and sing dirtier lyrics over the songs myself.

Sign 'O' The Times, just because it features such a wide variety of styles. I've yet to grow tired of it. That whole process from Dream Factory-Camille-Crystal Ball was Prince's creative peak imo.

Batman soundtrack because it was my first Prince album.It has special meaning to me. Which album would you pick?

I would have to pick Controversy or 1999 because they were my first Prince Album. [Edited 1/2/18 21:34pm]

Hold on a minute. You say we can only choose ONE album, and then you choose two . Why do you get an either/or choice? I'm not playing until you choose 'ONE'

If only one.......I would choose SOTT. I love every song on the album! It's a masterpiece IMO.

If there were ever a soundtrack of my life, SOTT is it. I'd take it too.

Purple Rain. Don't care how generic it is, it's his most satisfying start to finish listening experience for me.

It's many things, but generic is not one of them, and you could choose it and never look back.

Sign o the Times

.

Oh gee another thread making us choose a restricted number of albums in a sense of finality? How original.

Sign O The Times mainly cuz its 2 discs of beautiful but still 1 album.

I'd go with the black album... it's Prince at the height of his powers while momentaneously playing rough and chaotic like the early days.

That's the first one I thought of...

Love Symbol, just because of "7" and Sexy Motherfucker.

How old are you that you'd call Purple Rain a generic album? That record basically invented a whole new genre of music. Upon its release it sounded like nothing that anyone had ever heard before.

I'd pick SOTT but I'd be pretty sad that I could only ever get to listen to one P album for the rest of my days I think 1999 is his best but, it's a one very specific style for the entire recording. SOTT would be a better long term pick based on diversity.
