Batman soundtrack is not his best, I do like a couple of tracks, “Batdance”, I see as tongue-in-cheek, has a fun video. The Black Album disappointed me, considering the hype.<br />I was pleasantly surprised by 1993’s The Hits/The B-Sides compilation, some of those b-sides are excellent, and will share for the upcoming top 50.<br />Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395044055566348346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1619249406686227577.post-47775943362135624652014-09-29T16:38:28.377-07:002014-09-29T16:38:28.377-07:00The albums Prince did in the 1980s are just quinte...The albums Prince did in the 1980s are just quintessential. He owned that decade. For me, my favorite Prince album is a four-way tie between <i>Sign O' the Times</i>, <i>1999</i>, <i>Purple Rain</i>, and <i>Dirty Mind</i>. It depends on what mood I'm in. <i>Dirty Mind</i> is definitely one of the dirtiest albums.... ever.... <i>Batman</i> is the weakest album of the 80s as for me, everything he did from <i>Dirty Mind</i> to <i>Lovesexy</i> (including <i>The Black Album</i> which was officially released in 1994 but was made in 1987 but was pulled from release at the last minute as it became a very popular bootleg in the years before its official release). <i>Grafitti Bridge</i> was OK while I did like <i>Diamonds & Pearls</i> minus the rap stuff while I did enjoy the <i>Love Symbol</i> album. I still love that song "Batdance" which I heard gave Trent Reznor nightmares.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.com
