'Dirty Mind' '1999' 'Purple Rain' 'Sign O' The Times' Here is the link to the article. Apparently, the list hasn't yet been published. | |

Indeed they are his 4 best. For the first time in, how long, did they get something right? NEW WAVE FOREVER: SLAVE TO THE WAVE FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE. | |

Yeah, it is... but I just have a feeling Rolling Stone would put 'Dirty Mind' in their greatest albums list, rather than 'Lovesexy'. love is god, god is love, girls and boys love god above | |

It's really not a mystery if you have those old
Rolling Stone issues where they rate albums by decade, and/or since the magazine's inception in 1967. In their greatest albums of the 80s issue these are listed for Prince (in various order): Dirty Mind 1999 Purple Rain Sign O' The Times. At least a couple of times (if memory serves me) their poll of readers and critics named Prince albums as album of the year - once it was 1999, I remember that for a fact. I can't say I disagree with the Prince albums from that decade they picked. But much like the music industry itself, Rolling Stone lost its way and gathered moss. It's not all the same quality writers, critics, or contributors that used to be there. What once was a great magazine that was varied in its content, and musically relevent, Rolling Stone is musically relevant no more. Just take a look at the cover stories of recent years and that tells the whole story. Jann Wenner sold his soul, and now runs a pop culture version of People Magazine.

They actually stated something accurate. [This message was edited Mon Nov 17 15:43:46 PST 2003 by Sdldawn] | |

Wasn't there an issue similar to this published not so long ago. I'm sure those were the albums mentioned and I think The Beatles, Stones and Dylan were the only other artists to have more albums listed. | |

Probably not enough to unseat any of the 'Big 4', but I honestly feel it's a better collection of tunes than those on 'Purple Rain'. | |
