This list of albums is better that most peoples entire career.

Prince was a mofo.

Some people dislike it because of the association with hip hop, but it has a good collection of strong songs, like Gett Off, Cream, Diamonds, Willing and able, Money dont matter. Thunder and Live 4 love are very fun to listen to.

.

But overall, I think I prefer Symbol. Some very good songs and better production. And I believe ´Gold Experience´ captures the essence of the NPG better.

Why not Graffiti Bridge? It's not a comp or anything, and it is from 1990. Also Rave IMO is by far the most Prince sounding of his 90s albums. It's far superior for me than say, C+D, Exodus, D+P. Honestly I'm gonna go out on a limb on this a little - but I feel like most Prince fans have a block on this album and aren't hearing it right. I know I definitely did until a few years ago. Then I listened to it on a whim and basically the strength of the album relative to the work that surrounded it sort of blew my mind haha

B-b-b-b-but Clive Davis.

I've always thought of GB as more of a compilation/soundtrack album because it features other artists.

As for Rave, there are a few songs I love (I love u but I don't..., TGRES, Strange but true) and the Undisputed moneyapolis remix is cool. But there's some absolute stinkers on there, and the overall production is so thin and crappy. It's just so meh and forgetable. And almost all of the guests on it add approximatly zero value.

Also, no idea why he left Beautiful Strange off RUTJF either - that's an awesome song.
