Nirvana can fuck right off. Was ever such a fuss made about so little? If Axl Rose had blown his brains out in 94 instead of Dirt Cobain you can bet your life Appetite 4 Destruction would be here instead of Nevermind I've tried listening to Tori Amos, but as far as I can hear she doesn't seem to be able to craft a memorable melody or a cohesive lyric (except for Crucify). Also, Kate Bush should get royalties on her songs. I think David Bowie is drastically overrated too. He's done some good things, but nothing to warrant the reverence he gets. Someone is not a happy camper. Maybe this list is more to your liking: http://www.rollingstone.c..._all_time/ Lots of Dylan and no Janet in their top 60. | |

Put about 10 spaces before Sign and 10-20 spaces in between the other albums and it would be a more accurate representation of the general population. But that's not how it turned out. This is the Prince.org top 50.  you would think I coulda figured that out huh?  Yes, but the list does look kind of ridiculous at first. Prince has, what 5 or 6 of the top 10? Bowie's a bit out of balance, too. But taken as a whole, it's pretty good. The order could be debated but the choices are really good, and varied, considering Miles Davis & John Coltrane made it. There are some bad omissions, though--P-Funk, Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Costello... [Edited 6/19/06 14:12pm] My Legacy

And James Brown. I could see James not making it, as he's not so much an album guy, but P-Funk? My Legacy

Unlike Bowie and Janet. I was surprised however by how much old-school funk was underrepresented. | |

Thanks for the consideration but Rolling Stone is written by pussies for pussies. That's one lazy conservative list right there. They obviously took care not to offend too many people with that list. Prince only one album at 93 and MJ in the Top 20 with Thriller. They know that's bullshit themselves, but they're reflecting the consensus among the plebs who buy their magazine. If they didn't, the plebs would stop buying | |

I actually like almost all of them. I guess Janet might be the toughest to agree with personally, but it just wasn't a surprise that she made it having seen all the love she gets here. Also, she's at 29 or something, not #3. Same with Madonna. And both have good production, hits, long careers. My Legacy

Do you have any Cure? I don't. My younger sister got into the Cure and Morrissey and stuff like that. I had no time of day for any of that. I did buy her the B-side box set 2 Christmases ago. Maybe I should borrow those discs for a while We're also selling a Cure box set here at work, maybe I should buy it for my white half's sake Although Love song has always fucked me up in the most major way. I'm actually surprised I never got into them based on that one song because I absolutely love that song 2010: Healing the Wounds of the Past.... http://prince.org/msg/8/325740 | |

Nice work.
I'm actually amazed Come made the list. I didn't even realize it connected with so many orgers like that. I loved "Dark," and liked "Letitgo" and the title track, as well as the Universal Love Remix of Space, but that's it. Good night, sweet Prince | 7 June 1958 - 21 April 2016

Very interesting results. Many albums that barely missed my list (you'll soon see) made this list, such as The Velvet Underground & Nico, Songs in the Key of Life and many of the Bowies.
It absolutely kills me to see a Beatles album higher than 1999, but hey, it ain't my list.  Feel free to join in the Prince Album Poll 2018! Let'a celebrate his legacy by counting down the most beloved Prince albums, as decided by you! | |

I had forgotten about your dislike of the Fab Four. Voters obviously thought 'Sgt. Pepper's' (my fave Beatles album) is overrated. | |
