I know Graffiti Bridge was largely shit, but does it deserve being left off lists that include even NPS and Kamasutra?

Let me be the one to say that Prince is the only artist around that allows us to compare like this. Otherwise the lists would be much shorter and, there wouldn't be as much to scroll through. Blue  | |

My Top 5:
1. Sign O the Times 2. Parade (first two are always neck-in-neck with me...can't live w/o them) 3. Purple Rain 4. The Gold Experience (my favorite from recent years) 5. Batman Soundtrack (you probably think I'm on crack...) My Bottom 5: 1. Kama Sutra 2. NEWS 3. Come 4. The Vault: Old Friends 4 Sale 5. The Black Album/Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic * *Note: I like most Prince stuff, so I had a hard time picking five. My last choice, a tie, I picked because I like only half of the songs on each of those. | |

Parade
Purple Rain Camille The Hits/The B-Sides Sign O' The Times Lovesexy Dirty Mind Around The World In A Day 1999 Controversy Musicology Batman Prince For You Girl 6 Newpower Soul The Black Album Come One Nite Alone 1-800-New Funk The Vault The Truth Emancipation
Diamonds & Pearls Graffiti Bridge The Rainbow Children Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic Crystal Ball Chaos And Disorder N.E.W.S. I've included The Hits/The B-Sides, for the B-Sides album. I've included Girl 6 and 1-800-New Funk because they may not all have Prince on lead vocals, but neither did the Graffiti Bridge album I've included the Camille album because it got as far as having a cover design before being pulled I've included Newpower Soul, but not the other two NPG albums, because its basically a Prince album I don't own The Chocolate Invasion, The Slaughterhouse, Rave In2 The Joy Fantastic or One Nite Alone Live. | |

Many of these are similar so far. I'm still surprised so many would put TRC so far up on the spectrum. "You need people like me so you can point your fuckin' fingers and say, "That's the bad guy." "

I put it at the bottom of my list because it's the only album that I truly can't tollerate at all. I'd prefer Chinese water torture.

I put it at the bottom of my list because it's the only album that I truly can't tollerate at all. I'd prefer Chinese water torture. that's an extreme alternative, but so be it. I think it's brilliant...I don't even mind the Bob-George voice of God, too much. Plus, there's brilliant stuff on there, like: She Loves Me 4 Me (nice song) Family Name (brilliant guitar) The Everlasting Now (which sounds so good live) Last December (brilliant guitar) | |
