That's what's up! Sign O is definitely his best, the one I feel has aged the best and has pretty much everything that's great about Prince.
1999 is one of my favorite albums, not only by Prince but of the 80's, period.. it also makes me laugh because it has those Fisher-Price keyboard sounds.
But somehow it works. Just a super funky album.
Some of Purple Rain (well, looking at the tracklist again now, maybe just the first couple of tracks) hasn't aged that well either, LOL. Surprisingly there are other Prince albums I prefer, though I still love it.
Been listening Parade a lot as well. It's not as praised as his "Big 3" but deserves to be mentioned among them in my eyes, an overlooked masterpiece.
The B-sides our friend pepper green mentioned are all essential as well.
Honestly, all of his classics from the 80's could benefit from being remastered. I wish that will happen someday.
