Best Prince Albums

Just rock perfection, an album of anthems, the Purple reigned

Prince's definitive masterpiece.

Creamy perfection, every song is a classic, a bend of many musical styles that all have a a unique Prince feel to them. My favourite album in the world with amazing songs and so much musical panache. Adore is the greatest song ever written.

Remixes from original "Crystal ball" album ; original versions of songs sounded much better than this "hybrid" versions; try sign o the times DVD first or better unofficiall "Dream Factory" and "Camille" albums; than You will know why this album sucks - dubbelvla

Fantastic soundtrack album, deepest lyrics! - DeadAsian

It has raspberry beret on it, enough said

Parade has a "European" feel as it is the soundtrack for the movie set in the South of France. I could not stop listening to this when it came out in 1986 (I was 16), and still consider it a masterpiece. Not only does it have Kiss on it (which is the 'odd one out' here), but Mountains, Girls and Boys, Sometimes it Snows in April and Under the Cherry Moon) are also my all-time favourites. Also, the other tracks seem to complement one another, making it sound like a concept album with just two minor flaws (in my opinion). The opening track and Venus de Milo. Considering that Prince probably rushed this through, I cannot think of a more perfect record. Besides Purple Rain as a pop record of course, but Parade is something unique in Prince's catalogue.

If you are a parent keep in mind:
- A little bit of coarse language (f--cking, motherf--cker)
- Mild Sexual Refrences e.g. (I'm gonna do 'it' all night) (She got me hot, I couldn't stop)
Once you are mature with swearing and sex and know how babies are made, you are ready for this!

Outtakes from "The gold experience" album released by Warner studio but neglected by Prince. Has major hit "Letitgo" and one of his best songs "Pheromone" - good to find out this one ("Pheromone" Video LP.verșion ) and rest of songs in different unofficial versions. - dubbelvla

Decent R&B album has nice songs like "Way Back Home" or "U Know" - dubbelvla

Amazing

5xCD boxset album with many very good songs from different times of Prince career unrealesed, changed or newly made. Has very strong materïal ouuttakes from "The gold experience" album: "Hide the Bone", "Interactive", "Acknowledge Me", "Days of Wild" or original songs from first unreleased "Crystall Ball" album: "Crucial" and many other - dubbelvla

3CD boxset. Very decent pop album, there is no highlights/hits songs, but there is also no weak spots, music is on the same level. - dubbelvla

His last proper release and containing some true classics. Prince went out with a bang, has Stare and Revelation which compare to the 1980s Prince in levels of pure genius.

Outtakes from "The gold experience" album released by Warner studio but refused by Prince. Its good to find out some of this songs in different unofficial versions (like title track "Chaos&Disorder" in previous first version). Has nice songs like: "I Will" or "I Rock, Therefore I Am". - dubbelvla

Decent pop album from 1999 has nice songs like: "The Sun, the Moon and Stars" or "So Far, So Pleased" (what Gwen Stefani) or single "The Greatest Romance Ever Sold" or hidden jamming track "Prettyman" - dubbelvla
