Love_Symbol_Album_(Prince_and_the_New_Power_Generation_album_-_cover_art).jpg

for me
- O+-> album
- Gold experience
- crystal ball esp $th cd with (the truth, circle of amore,comeback etc)
- Diamonds & Pearls
- Prince - The Rainbow Children (loved this record!)

im tearing as i run this list down man!
i loved his funkier stuff but for me it was the softer psychedelic-pseudo -spiritual and some of that strange moorish middle-east musical scale type runs he'd do on stuff like theCross that really endeared me to him, he was definitely an elevated spirit being, he was constantly pullin this vibrational stuff from a next realm ..

s

that really endeared me to him

That was intentional. The distortion was supposed to be his alter-ego, Camille (also on "Shockadelica", "Scarlet Pussy", "You Got The Look" & "Housequake"). But "If I Was Your Girlfriend" is fire, no doubt!

By the way, Around The World In A Day should be getting more love up here than it currently gets. The songwriting is amazing & I'd put "The Ladder" up against any Prince song.

The Ladder is a BEAST of a song!
 
Absolutely underrated.

It is. "Sexy MF", "Sweet Baby", "3 Chains O Gold", "Damn U", "Love The 9's",etc

Its easily the best NPG era Prince album. I'm still tryna figure out why people are so high on the Sign O The Times album :confused:

Sign O The Times is a magnificent album. 16 great songs. Rich. Comprehensive. Runs the full gamet of musical influences. Showcases his genius better than any record. In addition to the linchpin songs that you and Kwame mentioned, it also has other gems like Strange Relationship, Starfish and Coffee, Housequake, Forever In My Life, etc. It's a work of staggering brilliance.
 
Man this album is Prince's masterpiece:

"Sign O' the Times"
"Play in the Sunshine"
"Housequake"

"It"
"Starfish and Coffee"
"Slow Love"
"Hot Thing"
"Forever in My Life" *probably his most underrated song*
"U Got the Look"

"Strange Relationship"
"I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man"
"The Cross"
"It's Gonna Be a Beautiful Night"
"Adore"
THIS
 
I chose Dirty Mind out of nostalgia. That was the rawest shit he ever put out. Even more raw than the original black album.

No doubt Dirty Mind was Raw...but in terms of unabashed funk, The Black Album has no equal.

i could never take the place of your man,slow love, u got the look. my favorite prince cd.
 
each album shows different ranges of prince. i was listening to around the world in a day after his death. i didn't listen to that album as a whole for about 4 years. great work. condition of the heart cannot be duplicated. but signs is my favorite.

It's gonna be lonely
Still Waiting

Almost a year after his death I've been replaying more songs from this album than any other.

Yeah it's excellent...

I also play the B sides quite a bit.

Prince was that dude.


One of the greatest get the panties lyrics ever

If God one day stroke me blind
Your beauty I'd still see
Love is to weak to define
Just what you mean to me
