Continuing a countdown of my favorite albums of 1987…
#9 – Sign O’ the Times – Prince
If I tried to be totally objective, this album would be in the top five of this list, and possibly even at #1. It’s the magnum opus of one of music’s most startlingly original and creative talents — a funk, R&B and art pop masterpiece.
I’m not denying any of that by putting it at #9. It’s just that Prince isn’t a personal favorite of mine. I appreciate the hell out of his work, and love a lot of it, but I’ve never felt the personal connection I do with some other artists.
