DIAMONDGEEZA

best album cover?

Very simple question for the masses.What is the best prince album cover and why?.I used to think it was either Purple Rain or Diamonds & pearls but i love the artwork on the Rainbow Children cd and its cool funky-ness has won me over.

CONTROVERSY-great composition and idea.it looks like he's crucified among theheadlines.

PARADE-simple but effective.And the pose is great.

SIGN O'THE TIMES-I love the composition on this one.Him walking away from a stage set that physically represents all the musical styles on the album.
