3 & 8 have been my quarantine jams.

8 is absolutely mesmerizing...I owe Prince so much.

What's your favorite?

Love them all...if pressed, I do enjoy the drumming on 7.

Magical album.

I have to agree with you 100% regarding 8! I have this particular track on repeat in my car when taking long drives/trips. It is so relaxing, so quiet storm, dreamlike and funky - all in a span of a mere 10 minutes! Completely mesmerizing! I love 2 and 6 also however, 8 is the ultimate highlight for me on that album.

One--it's my favorite Madhouse song not just from 8, but out of all 24.

2, 4 and 8 are incredible and represent some of his best work of his career.

This, yep.

I shall never forget the delight and surprise at finding this album, and then finding 16 swiftly after (I'd come to Prince a little later than '87). There was a record store a bus ride away that had an eclectic Prince section, routinely stocked with side-project material. The bus ride home, after having bought 8, was one full of supposition. And then, once the record was on the player - what a joy. From start to finish, this is a moment of glory.

Eight... so hypnotising.

how funny, i was just coming in here to start a thread saying madhouse 8 was one of prince's top 5 albums. then i found this one.

best songs for me are 2 and 7.

favourite is 2.

Six.

6 and a half

but wierd...dont think I've listened to "Eight" in 10+ years. I put it on and I was instantly 17 again, laying in my room sad about some girl and trying to deal with this beauty of a song.

"Two" always had a fun hook in it. "Eight" is interesting because the synths under it are from "U Got The Look," so it follows a similar chord progression. The "uh....huh.....uh...uh huh" thing under it makes it unique, but I dig it for all those reasons.

Eight has a beautiful melancholy about it. It's a gorgeous piece of music.

And "Erotic City" is my favorite track from the Purple Rain album.

I loved the track "Eight" from the first time I ever heard it (release day at Turtles Records in Atlanta)!

1, 2, and 3.
