None of the others are so bad they deserve to be used as drink coasters. But if i had to add a third it'd probably be nps, despite a few good tracks.

and the all time biggest turd to ever float in the purple punch-bowl:

New Power Soul (or as I like to call it, that crappy CD with the hidden track that is better than the rest of the album).

Oh, and I must also site the craptacular piece of shit known as Gold Nigga! A whole album of Tony M rapping? barf

1999~The New Master~Gets NO airplay at my radio station

I agree it sucks, but its really a maxi-single, not an album

Kamasutra~WTF??? If this was his way of saying I LOVE U,
no wonder they divorced.

He's done better, but he's done far worse

N.E.W.S.~ Personally, I have spun it twice...as background
music when cleaning up, not to actually LISTEN to it.

Gotta disagree. Its a good, solid album with heavy jazz overtones.

QUIT HATIN' ON NPS EDIT! mad U KNOW THAT CD BUMPS~

[i]It "bumps" all the way out Prince's ass to a toilet near you

1) New Power Soul
2) Rave
3) 1999 The New Master

I don't know about Xpectation and NEWS.

Other less flawed albums are all of his 90's albums and TRC (lyrics and voice)

Since I really like some aspect of just about all of Prince's CDs, I had to think: If you were stuck on a desert island, what three albums would you NOT want to be stuck with? So....

1. Kamasutra. This saddens me, because I'm a big classical music fan and I got the impression that this was Prince's attempt at moving in that direction. Major failure. Not just a drink coaster, I'd cut this up, emobss it and make some nice eariings and pins out of it.

2. Rave. This has got to be the most embarassing moment to be a Prince fan. It's what happens when, to paraphrase his lyric, Prince follows trends instead of trends following him. He sold out his artistic integrity to chase after chart position and just came off sounding lame. I might miss never hearing Sun, Moon and Stars again, but I could learn to live with that. Might use it to signal planes flying overhead.....

3. The Gold Experience. I know some of ya'll think this is a high point, but it just doesn't resonate for me. I like Shy and Now....that's about it.
I've gone to find myself. If I should return before I get back, keep me here.

I'll never understand why people don't like N.E.W.S and XPECTATION.
Maybe the music is too challenging, maybe it is not foonky enough. I don't know.

But it is an example of excellent musician craftmanship....
unless you prefer the top ten of your local radio....

I know he didn't say that. That's why I said, "I got the impression..." How else do you explain it? If not classical, maybe muzak-inspired tinkling?

True dat! biggrin And because of this, D&P is not one of my top favorite albums from the man, but I cut off at my bottom 3. And somehow, D&P wasn't quite as vomit-inducing as Rave -- even with Tony M murking it up....

They suck, they being "most people"? Then you're absolutely right.

NEWS is a wonderful, challenging record. I love jazz and fusion and I know people find it very difficult to listen to this kind of record.
It takes concentration and knowledge.
It's a wonderful effort, interesting on many layers.

If you think diamonds & pearls and all that shit is better than news it just means you have to study a little better the history of music in the 20th century.

By the way, my three most disliked:

Diamonds & Pearls
The Symbol Album
Come

God, how I loathed those years. I felt like the world was dying. Thank god for News and TRC.
