1. Purple Rain
2. 1999

3. Sign 'O' the Times

4. Controversy
5. Parade

6. Lovesexy
7. Around the World in a Day

8. Batman

All are at least good (yes, even Batman. "Batdance" is top 10 Prince material imo)

Haven't listened to Dirty Mind in ages though, I will change the rankings as soon as I have had a proper re-discovery.

Haha, I won't really participate, except to say that my older brother owned both "Lovesexy" and the "Batman" soundtrack. I was very attracted to the Batdance track, as I absolutely LOVED the Batman movie at the time, more so than most other movies in my life. And "Lovesexy" didn't make any sense whatsoever to me. But anyway, I've never really understood prince aside from a few songs, and will not vote in any way. Too bad I missed some of the previous "Let's Rank"'s, though!

Haha. You know, those seconds make perfectly sense to me, but you have to remember that the album was (at least on the CD version) recorded as one track. That alone made me frown furiously, though I really did try to like it at the age of 10.

Damn after a pretty easy top 4 (Purple Rain, Sign, Dirty Mind, 1999, in that order), this gets significantly more difficult... Can't even begin to think of a songs list...

He's been pretty anti-internet, hasn't he. I don't know, honestly. Aside from turning to torrents, which might not be a good option.
