Every song works on this album with Let’s Go Crazy, When Doves Cry and Purple Rain some of his best all time. A futuristic sound with the Revolution backing and some of his best guitar work this is easily number 1 for me.

This is a sprawling double disc that covers many genres. Great title track leads off with Play in the Sunshine, The Ballad of Dorothy Parker and Hot Thing standouts on the first side. The second side has even more with U Got the Look, If I Was Your Girlfriend, I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man and Adore. It is my runner up for his best album.

Another great album with The Revolution. Standouts include Christopher Tracy’s Parade, Under The Cherry Moon, Girls and Boys, Mountains, Kiss and Anotherloverholenyohead. A soundtrack that works as a standalone album as well. All his work with the Revolution was great.

Starts off incredibly with the title track, Little Red Corvette and Delirious. D.M.S.R, Free and Lady Cab Driver are other standouts as I consider this beginning of prime Prince.

Prince’s answer to the changing music scene of the early 90’s when hip hop was taking over. Prince often did his best work with his bands and The New Power Generation was introduced here. Standouts include the title track, Cream, Gett Off and Money Don’t Matter 2 Night.

Change of pace album after the huge success of Purple Rain. Standouts include the title track, Paisley Park, Raspberry Beret and Pop Life. He proved here he still had a lot of musical territory to explore.

Prince took a big step forward on his 2nd album with standouts including I Wanna Be Your Lover, Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad, Bambi, I Feel For You and It’s Gonna Be Lonely. He was just getting warmed up.

Prince’s 4th album caught between Dirty Mind and 1999 was not as strong but still had standouts like the title track, Do Me Baby and Let’s Work. Prince was pretty much unstoppable in the 1980s.
