that any top 5 without Purple Rain is bullshit

- It may be called "predictable" or "unoriginal",
  
  but Purple Rain is often considered one of the Best for a pretty fucking good reason.

- I never really liked Purple Rain.
  
  I just didn't like the songs and the film ruined it for me as well. I think that I just couldn't get on with it due to the film.

    a far worse film

    - Parade was a lot more stylish than Purple Rain - album and film.

      - Purple Rain the film isn't too good
        
        But it's like bloody Citizen Kane compared to Under the Cherry Moon

        I was winging it to be honest. I haven't seen the film, only
        
        stills from it. It just looked quite stylish though.
        
        The film's in black and white isn't it?

        I actually really like the Purple Rain film
        
        It's fun

bowiecokemirror this'd this
Prince albums released as Prince only or is O(+> & TNPG allowed also?

My 2nd pick is still inexplicably out of print...
...and yet it's considered one of Prince's best. What the hell is wrong with the world?

1: Purple Rain
2: The Gold Experience
3: Sign O the Times
4: 1999
5: Around the World in a Day

- Hmmm. On second thoughts...
  
  it's possible my love for Raspberry Beret has clouded my judgement of #5. Probably interchangable with Parade.
  
  Yvash @Yvash | 9 Nov '09, 10:20 | X | ^ This | Reply
For me...

1. Sign O The Times
2. Symbol album
3. 1999
3. Dirty Mind
5. Purple Rain

But if the best stuff on Emancipation was compressed to a single album it would figure on there.

  I seem to have two no.3s there!

- You win, simply for being the only person to put 'Symbol' in the list.

- I struggled with this...too many good earlier albums and too many average later ones...
  
  Anyway, here goes...
  
  1) Sign O The Times
  2) Lovesexy
  3) 1999
  4) Parade
  5) Purple Rain
