Vanity 6 would absolutely be in my top 5. Better than Apollonia 6 and Ice Cream Castles which I'm guessing will be in the top 10.

.

Well.. the third Sheila E., the first Mavis Staples and New Power Soul are better for starters.

(oh, and Apollonia 6 too)

.

These polls are fairly useless of course, other than that they show that Prince's music is so diverse that the people that listen to it are too. It seems we cannot agree on anything.

.

One person's Something In The Water is another person's Grafitti Bridge...

The differing opinions is part of the fun! I also quite like the 3rd Sheila E. album, but not enough to put it over V6. I haven't heard either Mavis Staples album. Newpower Soul is a pretty disastrous album for me aside from 3 songs.

That said, with 83 participants, I think this poll does start to get toward a rough consensus.

Earth to Moon. Miss the daily postings. Withdrawals are setting in .

hope he's doing well. Positive vibes from Amsterdam.

Sorry for the delays. My son is in the hospital and I don’t have my computer.

I hope he's better soon. The poll results can wait.

Thanks for the good wishes, everyone! He was discharged today but may have to go back on Friday. I'll try to catch up as much as I can in the meantime.
