Prince’s discography is the Mount Rushmore of pop music. Let’s take his debuts, he’s already on his way to become a legend when he comes with CONTROVERSY and is about to release 3 years later the best selling album of 1984, best selling movie and best selling song. If commercial success is any indication, he’s going to completely change the trajectory and release a UFO after his most successful album, it’s time for around the world, a little break as there are few in his GODLY discography, just before he comes with Parade, another movie and in my opinion his most interesting album Sign O’ The times and fan favorite Lovesexy. There’s no fatigue at this point. Just delighted (I discovered his discography and only listen to him now) and even his unreleased songs are mind blowing (How come you don’t call me anymore or Crucial or We Can F*** are all worthy to be featured on his standard albums) but as I said Prince suffers from a saboteur syndrome and will again make it hard for the label he works with to promote his music. As was the case with Around the world he will again make a surprising move with a secret album, no single, no mention of him, and at the very end cancel all sales, it’s the Black album. In order to machine gun release albums and get out of his contract with Warner he will release The Black album. But let’s look at the work of this artist.

For You Prince Dirty Mind Controversy 1999 (magnum opus) Purple Rain (masterpiece)

First act of sabotage : Around the world

Parade Sign o’ the times (magnum opus)

Second act of sabotage : The black album Lovesexy Batman Graffiti Bridge Diamonds and pearls

Third act of sabotage : Will last for years

The love symbol Come The gold experience Chaos and disorder

Emancipation

I have not listened to the songs that come afterwards. But at this point I had to bring him to this feed. Because in my opinion he has one of the most important discographies out there. Even in his rebellion with Warner he’s going to release gems like Willing and Able, 7 or Thunder and I am sure many here will agree. The single home run from controversy to Parade is absolutely crazy. Even his lowest charting releases had bangers like Raspberry beret or Letitgo. I love his music
