agree on "dirty mind" (insane oldschool funkiness, and almost completely
self-produced), and "sign o' the times" (just a great album), but STRONGLY
disagree on the "black album" (just not very interesting - i liked
lovesexy better) and "parade" (definitely his worst album ever, although
it happens to contain one of his best songs ever, "kiss").

unless you mean the movie (which sucked, not surprisingly), i disagree!
much of it is crap, yes, and it's definitely a little dated, but it's got
some great tracks - elephants and flowers, the question of u, joy in
repetition, round and round, release it... good stuff. and some of his
most compositionally interesting, imho. (lots of syncopation, etc.)
little-known fact: prince has more funk than is legal in the state of
minnesota, which is why he had to change his name. :)
