PRINCE'S WORST ALBUM'S

OK, EACH ALBUM HAS A FEW GEMS ON IT BUT OVERALL I THINK HIS WORST ALBUMS (AFTER LISTENING TO THEM OVER 60 TIMES) ARE:

1) DIAMONDS AND PEARLS (EXCEPT CREAM / GETT OFF / STROLLIN)
2) GRAFFITI BRIDGE (EXCEPT QUESTION OF YOU / JOY IN REPITITION / THEIVES IN TEMPLE)
3) CONTROVERSY (EXCEPT CONTROVERSY / SEXUALITY)
4) SYMBOL ALBUM (EXCEPT GOD CREATED WOMEN / SEXY MF)
5) RAVE UNTO JOY FANTASTIC (ALL SHITE)
6) BATMAN (EXCEPT SCANDALOUS / BATDANCE/ FUTURE)
7) CHAOS AND DISORDER


THE REST ARE MASTERPIECES...

Let's stick to those we can agree on:
1) Rave
2) Kamasoutra

3) 1999 The New Master
4) The Beautiful experience

5) Xpectation (agreed, it was not BAD, but there wasn't much GOOD either)

Controversy one of his worst albums? - Are you pissed?

His worst albums are clearly:
Emancipation
Rave
NPS

After those three, which should be taken as read, its all about personal taste. I for instance hate Come with a passion, but loads on here seem to like it wheras I like C&D and most hate it. But those can't be his worst as differing folks like them. The above 3 howeverare all truly awful.

eek Fair enough. I've never considered it one of his best, but I think he's done far worse.

EVERYTHING post Lovesexy

Yes they all have their moments (well not all but most) and TRC did show some return to form but I can't really be done with all the preaching.

You newbies just don't realise just how good he was in the 80s, believe me I was there & he ain't ever gonna be that good again (though I'm still abig fan & completist).

This is the one album from him that I have not liked at all since day one and it never grew on me. He's made other albums that I didn't like right away, like NPS, Rave, or Come, but after some time I put them on and Ithey sounded good...they are still not the best thing he's ever done, but certainly not the worst either.

Symbol has actually gotten worse over time for me. He seemed to be just copying different music styles and the whole Kirsty Ally thing just annyoed the shit out of me. I missed Rosie Gaines and of course, it also has Tony M on it barf.

I'll co-sign that.

One of the problems I have with this album (apart from the songwriting being inconsistent, but then the same could be said of most of his albums since) is that he just seems to be trying too hard to cram as many different styles into it. It simply doesn't flow very well.

I think all of these are decent if not great other than C&D. As rdhull would say, you're not a true fan.

Controversy was one of the best!!! Here is the crap.

87/94) The black album (This album is stupid not dark. Nine Inch Nails is dark)
89) Batman
91) Diamonds & Pearls
92) prince
94) The beautiful experience
94) 1-800-new-funk
96) chaos and disorder
96) Girl 6 ( the new songs stunk, except count the days and that wasn't really new.)
96) Emancipation (slick polished crap)
1998) New power soul (NPG)
1998) 1999 the new master (pure crap)
99) Rave un2 the joy fantastic
01) The rainbow children (I can't believe people thought this was good, just because he used real drums)
02) One night alone (studio)
02) xpectations
03) N.E.W.S.

Most of the downloads from the first 2 years of the NPG music club were crap.
