best to worse

So it's the middle of the night, and I've decided (for no particular reason) to list out my favorite to least favorite Prince albums, anyone else who feels like trying to catogorize their favorites? I'd be curious to see how others view their favorites and least favorites.

Top to bottom -- best to worse

Purple Rain
Sign o the Times
Gold Experience
Parade
1999
Diamonds and Pearls
Graffiti Bridge
Around the World in a Day
Crystal Ball
ONA...Live
Batman
Controversy
Symbol

Musicology
Black Album
Emancipation
Dirty Mind
Lovesexy
Chocolate Invasion
The Vault
Come
One Nite Alone
Chaos and Disorder
Rainbow Children
The Truth
New Power Soul
Girl 6
Prince
For You
Slaughterhouse
Xpectation
News

Like I said, it's the middle of the nite -- what can I say, I'm bored... lol

There is really no "worst" here. I love it all. Besides, Prince at his "worst" is still way better than a lot of other music, imo.

Didn't rate ONA cuz it's live.

Albums I haven't heard:

The Chocolate Invasion
The Slaughterhouse
Xpectation
News

I can't download from the club, I keep getting an error. sad Any1 have any suggestions?

I know we could spend all day picking apart each others' lists, but "Prince" and "For You" near the very bottom? Have you listened to them, I mean really listened to them? I mean, Bambi! I Wanna Be Your Lover! I'm Yours! In Love! I Feel For You! Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad?

Somebody help me out here...
