No way

1) DIAMONDS AND PEARLS (EXCEPT CREAM / GETT OFF / STROLLIN)

What about Thunder and Live4Love. There are only 1 or 2 poor trax on this otherwise great album

2) GRAFFITI BRIDGE (EXCEPT QUESTION OF YOU / JOY IN REPITITION / THEIVES IN TEMPLE)

Would of been good if The time trax were put on a seperate album. All the Prince trax are great + Melody cool

3) CONTROVERSY (EXCEPT CONTROVERSY / SEXUALITY)

hmmm... Some nice cuts but maybe not enough to justify an entire album

4) SYMBOL ALBUM (EXCEPT GOD CREATED WOMEN / SEXY MF)

This is all good

5) RAVE UNTO JOY FANTASTIC (ALL SHITE)

hmmm... This was a let down, but Rave IN2 was soo much beter!

6) BATMAN (EXCEPT SCANDALOUS / BATDANCE/ FUTURE)

This is one of my all time faves. (Arms of Orion should of been removed and maybe replaced with I love U in me, Partyman should of been full length, Scandoulous should of been taken off and maybe replaced with sex, and I hate the album version of Batdance although the Batmix from the vynal is great)

7) CHAOS AND DISORDER

This album is definaty different but that dosn't make it bad. I love the track CHAOS AND DISORDER



The only bad Prince albums are Karma sutra and maybe The truth!

I totally agree with you on this. It would've made a much better album.

The only bad Prince albums are Kamasutra and maybe The truth!


Can't agree with this tho'. The Truth is my second fave of his.

I know, I know. I guess it just dosn't gel with me. I like a heavier experience. I don't like it but I understand why other people would. It's just not my thing. When my computer gets fixed I'm going to burn the Batman album just like I said it should of been. That will be in my hi fi for months. I love The future, Electric chair, Partyman, Vicki waiting, Trust, Lemon crush, and the Batdance Batmix!

yeah right. prince is so boring. he lost the funk. he can`t
play guitar, bass nor the keyboards or drums.
he can`t write good songs anymore(wait, he never did),
the ona-shows were crap, too. he didn`t dance.
and what about that fucking npgmc? they suck, they
only take the money out of the poor people`s pants.all the
other fan-clubs are cool, by the way.
and now, come on, i mean, he never paid respect to his
fans, did he? he did it all for the money.
and now he lost the funk, there will never be a hit-single
again. shit? what am i gonna do then? i need a proof for all
my friends so they can see he`s still no1. oh no,
sorry. little mistake here, because...
ALL of his records suck. they don`t have no flow, and they lack of creativity. i mean i have such a hard time grooving
to bobby z. he never was the right drummer for prince´s
band. if only prince would listen to us - the real fans -
every little thing could be fixed. it`s obvious.
we know what the real deal is, don`t we? ah, what a drama.

hi there. i can´t believe it. people seem to be interested
in what i have to say.
what was the question? if i am a musician? yes i am.
my intention was to make a few people laugh.
laugh about all the ridicolous stuff that some orgers create in their spare time.
to be honest, i like conversation with musicians.

and i love conversation with music lovers.

i adore people with class.


ups, sorry, and there are many orgers that i really like.
but some ...should get their house in order.

sorry, i dig prince`s music. sorry, he`s so inspiring.
sorry, i think let`s work is the real shit.
sorry, i don`t know what to say.
sorry for my english. i try. i wish i could express myself better. we`ll see. i`ll learn. everything that is is on its way somewhere.


let`s work edit

Uh just to throw in my 2 cents on the issue; Ive always preached that TRC was a piece of garbage, and now I can add B.A.D.N.E.W.S. to that list as well.
My DC Direct wishlist: 1) Bane, 2) Prof Zoom, 3) Superman Blue, 4) Kilowag, 5) Parasite

"Controversy" is vintage Prince. I hate to sound exclusive, but I find it hard to imagine anyone liking Prince who thinks "Controversy" is a bad album.

Let me say here and now that I love "Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic."

The only album I would consider less than average is "New Power Soul," and that has some great cuts on it. The rest are at least decent.

To me, it's the same as Rave and High. Just tight little pop songs with no grandeur.

You get to be the defender of "NPS" and I get to be the defender of "Rave." It's nice to root for an underdog.

I don't really feel the need to defend any Prince albums. I didn't write them. But I do get pissed when people knock Lovesexy. The rest, people can say what they want.

The Gold Experience [Warner Bros., 1995]
After two or three plays, convinced that "P Control" and "Endorphinmachine" slam harder than any hip hop I've heard in years, I shrugged and recalled that, after all, I already knew he was the most gifted recording artist of the era. But this album documents more than professional genius rampant--all of them do that. This album is a renewal. It's as sex-obsessed as ever, only with more juice--"Shhh" and "319" especially pack the kind of porno jolt sexy music rarely gets near and hard music never does. And you'd best believe "Shhh" and 319" are hard--not for years has the auteur (as opposed to some hired gat) sounded so black, and not for years has the guitarist sounded so rock. As for the ballads, they suffer only by their failure to dominate. One of them has already stormed the radio--and another, good for him, takes too many risks to follow. A

Emancipation [NPG, 1996]
In which the greatest popular musician of the era writes the book for the young turks of a reborn, historically hip r&b--three disks and hours of liberation, hubris, divine superfluity, and proof that he can come all night even if by six in the morning it takes too long and he never actually gets hard. Yet although there's not a bad track in the 36, I bet he himself would have trouble remembering them all, and I don't hear a song here that tops the Delfonics and Stylistics covers, which latter wasn't the debut single for nothing and flopped anyway. Great grooves abound, however. As does great singing. Harmonies too. Did I mention that the horns are surprisingly cool? And hey, the little guy has a sense of humor. A-

Well, no one can really determine what's his "worst" album, since it's all a matter of taste and opinion. So no one should really get upset with someone's choices.

That being said, for me, "1999: the new master".

CONTROVERSY is one of his BEST!!!

His look, the music.. it is all great!!I bought CONTROVERSY when it came out in 1981. Loved it then.. still think it's one of his best...

CONTROVERSY (long album version)
DO ME BABY
SEXUALITY
PRIVATE JOY
LET'S WORK
ANNIE CHRISTIAN

Come on.. these songs may have been a bit quirky, but still good beats, good lyrics, I believe one of the best albums of that year!!
