He really doesn't have a bad album. He is God remember!

to Prince or die.

I wouldn't lose any sleep if I had to give up any of the following forever:

D&P
Emancipation
Crystal Ball (I get to keep the Truth though)
NPS
Rave
ONA (though I'd miss U're Gonna See Me)

TRC is his only bad album--nuff said.

Rave cause they made such a big stink about how great it was and it wasn't.

The tried to push Clive out after that album even though Santana was such a success. Big losses $$$

Anyone who hates the Black album can send theirs to me...lol

Same hear. I really can't listen to it. I think that gets my vote, altough I wouldn't put it in the same catogery as his regular studio albums. but who's counting?

I love those too. Something about this album I like. The albums that just don't do anything for me are Batman-- it lacks feeling-- and D&P-- high cringe factor.

Rave or Emancipation.

1999 and Purple Rain suck ass!

Kamasutra and the Truth...but then again if maybe i was to listen to them i might like them...NAH

NPS and Rave. Emancipation has some gr8 songs, and some of the worst.

I guess I'm alone on this one:

I didn't like diamonds and pearls.

I guess it was a period in his career when his creativity wasn't really that high. Even his tour was a rip-off of all the previous ones. He was getting rid of his drumcomputers (making music alone) and tried to get back to a 'band'-concept again. But I can see now it was an essential step in his career. Every great musician had a period like that!

Some of the others like 'the vault' were not that great either. But I don't blame him! He was getting rid of Warner Bros. so he kept the better songs for himself obviously!


peace, newdawn

Without a doubt, the Batman soundtrack gets my vote. I don't even consider this a real Prince album and haven't listened to it in years. It was just a total joke, coming after the masterpiece of Lovesexy.

newdawn said:

Ur not alone. It's the only official release I no longer own (altho I love Gett Off)

I personally think TRC was the worst so far. I hate all his shit over the past few years, but TRC takes the cake.

Amen!!

All children r born equal. They r different but u could never say one is better than the other.

in my opinion...

everything after Pink Cashmere sucked Balls. sorry, but nothing since has had 10% of what he's capable of.

i'd have to say
'lovesexy'
'kamasutra'
'batman'
'new power soul' and
'graffiti bridge'

are his weakest records...

And he's still got hold of them!

Prince released his worst CD ever? Where can I pick up a copy?

I really don't listen to Batman that much. It sounds very dated. Most of his music you cant put a year with the sound because he has always been ahead of most music but Batman has the early 90's sound. I love Scandelous,Partyman and The Future but don't really get into the others that much. Rave has a great mix of sounds but I don't like the trax with the guest artists. If I didn't know Gwen and Cheryl Crow were on the trax, I would have never of guessed. I will always buy his work regardless if it appealed to me because there is always some hidden genius to it all that makes it worth a listen.

Er, yeah - I hold a lot of disdain for myself.

Personally to me, every prince album has its weaker moments, so to call a certain cd his ' worst ' would be impossible. But i have to admit there is a lot of weak moments on the Graffiti Bridge soundtrack, but only because he drafted in collaborators, it would have been perfect if he released a 10 track cd of all his own songs and then another cd of the other shit in the movie.
