What Prince album made you a permanent fan? Dirty Mind for me. That man didn't give a fuck and just did what he felt like doing 🤣 What about you? | |

Diamonds and Pearls.
I was 14 in 1991. Prince had piqued my attention with Batman in 89, but I was still a little too young to appreciate the content. By the time 'Gett Off' was released my hormones were raging... 🤣🤣🤣 * [Edited 1/11/21 6:03am] | |

Parade After hearing Parade I decided to always get his music the day it was released. No waiting to read the reviews or even hearing anything beforehand. If his name was on it I bought it. Never regretted it. | |

Lovesexy. It was the first one I bought and from that moment, there was no going back. I had to hear all the others too. If you take any of this seriously, you're a bigger fool than I am. | |

Dirty Mind... particularly the song Uptown! Man, I really hope we get an SDE of this album soon! |

For me Emancipation. I became a fan in about 2001 and started off working my way through the classic 80's stuff (as most new fans do) which I loved. Then I found a cheapish copy of Emancipation so picked it up but did so with a bit of trepidation having read the typcial press narrative about Prince losing his way in the 90's, putting out too much material etc. Suffice to say while I didn't love every track, I still thought it was terrific and I knew from that point I would likely enjoy his output from any era and hence became a 'permanent' fan! | |

I would say it was Around the World in a Day! I loved the albums prior but it was that one that made me pledge allegiance to follow Prince and his music forever! There have been many highs and some lows during this musical journey/odyssey with Prince nevertheless, I loved every bit of this trip without any moments of regret! | |

1999. Musically and lyrically there was nothing like that album. I would put my headphones on, lay back and just lose myself in that universe that Prince had created. I can't even count how many times I played that album. Man, I studied that album! | |

Well said! Headphones is the best way to listen to 1999. | |

The first Prince albums I got were Love Symbol and Diamonds and Pearls that I got together at the same time. I remember consciously thinking Prince was my favorite singer after watching the performance of "Let's go Crazy" in Purple Rain. I thought yes this is it. And then of course he followed it up with the breathtaking performance of my favorite Princs song "The Beautiful Ones" There was no turning back after that. | |

Around the World in a Day--the first thing I bought was Purple Rain (I knew the singles from 1999), and by the time ATWIAD was released I'd bought most of Prince earlier albums (maybe not For You, which I never had on vinyl) and the 1984 associated artist albums (and maybe the first Time album, too), and most of the singles from the camp, too--so clearly I was a pretty decent fan already. But Around the World in a Day, by shifting so sharply, actually let me know that things were going to keep moving, they were going to stay interesting, and it was probably going to be worth following. Yeah, he could have lost me at some point, but I'd made the decision to keep giving things a listen... and I was rarely disappointed.
