Ranking the Albums: Prince (w/Armando Venditti)

I would like to thank Pete for taking a chance and doing a show that was unexpected.

Man, when Prince was great, he was simply unbelievable. Even some of his later albums were pretty good. Not to mention, he was a god-tier virtuoso musician. He was funky to the core, but could also melt your face right off.

One of the most important artists of all times. I cherish every he did between 1982 and 1992.

I'm gonna say it. The Prince halftime show was a beautiful event.

"Around the world in a day" is my #1. Prince's most creative output imho. Cheers.

Had no idea Pete was a Prince fan and he drops this on us. Thanks Pete!!! You are the man. There is hope 5-10 years from now, I'll get that Bon Jovi episode. LOL

I really enjoyed this video been searching for something like this for so long

Awesome video, guys! Also, rest in peace, Prince, and your mom, Armando. 🙏🏻

1. Diamonds and Pearls 2. Emancipation 3. Purple Rain 4. Love Symbol Album 5. The Gold Experience 6. Sign 'O' the Times 7. The Black Album 8. Controversy 9. 1999 10. Chaos and Disorder

I don’t regret much. But one thing I absolutely regret was not going to see Prince when he played here in Oakland on his “Piano and a Microphone” solo tour just a couple of weeks before he died.

Prince is awesome. His songwriting and guitar and piano skills. Insanely good. Very impressed and didn't see this ranking coming!

Sign O' Times is a perfect album. Not only my favorite Prince album but my favorite album period. Rock, funk, soul, jazz, psychedelic masterpiece.

the most complete package of all time...nothing he couldn't do better or at least as good as any other artist in all areas...writer, musician, singer, producer, dancer, arranger, ...from prodigy to icon...one of the rare ones who exceeded unreal expectations....trend setter...duff mckagen was listening to prince albums while recording appetite for destruction to show his widespread influence on 80s music. had the number 1 album, song , and movie at the same time..basically captured popular culture in 84.. .then made a complete left turn instead of cashing in with a retread of purple rain...changed the sound of music in the 80s..then changed the business end in the 90s. one of the best live performers ever...A wealth of talent that is almost otherwordly.

Prince= great musician

Thank you, Armando and Pete.

Prince was an amazing artist. I was lucky enough to see him on the opening and closing nights of a 7-day run in San Francisco during the Purple Rain tour! Unbelievable performances! But….the highlight for me was attending the Bangles show in SF for their Manic Monday tour! Prince came out to play with them on Manic Monday and also came back out to play Whole Lotta Shakin’’ Going on! Now that, was what he excelled at, surprise visits and just tearing the place down! Great. Memories!

I'm not the biggest Prince fan but, I know a few of his albums. It was tons of fun watching this particular ranking of the albums because I learned a few things about Prince. I'm glad Pete, for whatever reason, you decided to talk about Prince. It's a welcome change from Iron Maiden and Judas Priest 🤣However, on Monday, I will give my opinion on Whitesnake vs. Rainbow😊

Really great show Pete and Armando - clearly both so passionate about Prince and his uniqueness. Music - like you two my tastes run wide. Prog, Metal, Funk, Jazz, World...and more. Good to hear.

I worked at a music store in Lemoyne Pa in the late 90's to mid 2000's. One of our regulars was on the road with a big production company and he was on the road with Prince one summer. He said he was at soundcheck and they were running through When Doves Cry. There is an ascending keyboard run at the very end. Prince obviously surrounded himself with top notch musicians. My buddy said the keyboardist was fumbling the line. Eventually Prince walked over to him, reached over the keyboard, looked him in the eye and played the line UPSIDE DOWN PERFECTLY!! Isane talent RIP
