 | For You by Prince
Buy new: £6.68 / Used from: £3.99 Very patchy debut which is hardly essential but does contain the classic debut single Soft & Wet. Best track Soft & Wet.
|
 | Prince by Prince
Buy new: £6.48 / Used from: £3.00 A big improvement on the debut but still doesn't show what he's really capable of. Best track Why You wanna Treat Me So Bad?
|
 | Dirty Mind by Prince
Buy new: £6.38 / Used from: £2.08 His first classic album and actually my favourite of his. It's just over 30 minutes long and not a second is wasted, a pure joy to listen to. Best track When You We're Mine
|
 | Controversy by Prince
Buy new: £6.38 / Used from: £2.55 More of the same really but has some of his best songs including the title track which may well be his finest moment. Best track Controversy
|
 | 1999 by Prince
Buy new: £6.58 / Used from: £3.89 This is where he started coming into his own. There is much more to this album than 1999 and Little Red Corvette. Best track Lady Cabdriver
|
 | Purple Rain by Prince & the Revolution
Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £1.37 One of those classic albums where ever song sounds like a hit single (5 Of them 9 were hits) Perfect pop that completely eclipses the film it's from. Best track I Would Die 4 U
|
 | Around the World in a Day by Prince & the Revolution
Buy new: £6.88 / Used from: £2.15 Apparently the record company were not too impressed when they heard this and whilst it pales in comparison to Purple Rain it is a fine album. Best track Pop Life
|
 | Parade: Original Soundtrack - Under the Cherry Moon by Prince & the Revolution
Buy new: £6.78 / Used from: £2.54 Apparently the film is awful but this stands as another masterpiece. Maybe his strangest album with the way the songs blend into each other. Best track Sometimes It Snows In April
|
 | Sign 'O' the Times by Prince
Buy new: £6.78 / Used from: £2.79 Not only did he manage to follow Parade with another great album he made it a double. So many standouts and only a couple of tracks that don't work. Best track If I was Your Girlfriend
|
 | The Black Album by Prince
Buy used from: £11.99 Recorded in 88 but not released untill 94. Not a great album, was probably more popular having the reputation of his lost album. Best track Dead On It
|
 | Lovesexy by Prince
Buy new: £6.78 / Used from: £1.40 This was rush released to make up for the Black album being shelved. One of his most underated albums very poppy and fairly lightwieght but still fun. Bes track I Wish u Heaven
|
![Batman: Original Soundtrack (Prince) [SOUNDTRACK]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51E2EGZS8RL._SL75_.jpg) | Batman: Original Soundtrack (Prince) [SOUNDTRACK] by Prince
Buy new: £6.78 / Used from: £0.48 Not really a massive fan of this. Was a big seller for him, it's a shame more people own this than Dirty Mind. Best track Partyman
|
 | Graffiti Bridge: Original Soundtrack by Prince
Buy new: £6.78 / Used from: £0.24 Another fairly weak album. I'm sure it was a worrying time to be a Prince fan at this time ( I wasn't I was 7) luckily he wasn't out of ideas yet. Best track Thieves In The Temple
|
 | Diamonds and Pearls by Prince & the New Power Generation
Buy new: £5.28 / Used from: £0.05 A bit of a return to form here and gave him 5 hit singles. Big rap influence on this album like he was trying to stay in with the times..most of it works. Best track Cream
|
 | The Love Symbol Album by Prince & The New Power Generation
Buy new: £7.98 / Used from: £0.13 I always think he if he had split this and Diamonds & Pearls in 2 and made one album he could have had a great album. This is overlong but does have great moments. Best track Sexy MF
|
 | The Hits/The B-Sides by Prince
Buy new: £14.98 / Used from: £8.74 Although some of the songs are annoyingly edited down this is an excellent overview of his career at this point. The B-side disc contains many fine hidden gems. Best track She's always In My Hair
|
 | Come by Prince
Buy new: £6.68 / Used from: £0.45 Awful!! Do not buy..even at that price. Best track......
|
 | Gold Experience by Prince
Buy used from: £8.50 Brilliant return to form and easily his best record since Sign O' The Times. Gold should have been a bigger hit than it was (although perhaps not as big as Purple Rain like he expected)Best track Gold
|
 | Crystal Ball by Prince
Buy used from: £33.99 4 disc set of rarities that might as well come with a warning saying for obsessed fans only. A real mix of songs here as you can imagine but theres some great moments. Best track Movie Star
|
 | Musicology by Prince
Buy new: £10.98 / Used from: £1.04 Ok I don't own any of the albums he made from 96-03 (someone please contact me if I'm missing out) So lets go straight to this good solid album. Best track Cinnamon Girl
|
 | 3121 by Prince
Buy new: £6.48 / Used from: £0.76 Not quite as good as Musicology but still worth getting especially for his finest funk song since Sexy MF (Black Sweat) The ballads let it down slightly. Best track Fury
|
 | Planet Earth by Prince
Buy new: £19.99 / Used from: £2.06 The fuss about this being given away for free overshadowed the truth about the music which is here's another album not as good as his peak but still pretty good. Best track Guitar
|
 | What Time Is It? by The Time
Buy new: £16.59 / Used from: £4.56 As well as being very prolific he made other albums in the 80's got his mates to sing on, a few of them are really great. The second Time album is up there with his best. Best track Walk
|
 | Jill Jones by Jill Jones
Buy used from: £27.00 This seriously needs rereleasing soon. Prince may play all the music but Jill's voice really steals the show. Best track Violet Blue
|
 | The Glamorous Life by Sheila E.
Buy used from: £7.08 Worth buying for The Belle Of St. Mark alone. Also it's worth mentioning the first 3 Wendy & Lisa albums are all worth getting too. Bes track The Belle Of St. Mark
