After a rather unexceptional debut, His Royal Badness starts to make music of the quality that he’s now known and beloved for. This LP features several strong, delightful tunes. So which is your favorite/the best?

Gotta be “Bambi” - I just love screeching along with that song. 😃

I Wanna Be Your Lover was the big single, to me, off this.  
Things don’t start getting revolutionary until the next album. Hey **Eddie F** - did you say you would collect the Singles and B-Sides as a separate category? It feels like they should be included alongside the album they came out with - but I am not the one constructing these threads, so your call 😉

Yeah, we haven’t got anywhere near my favourite Prince albums yet. I’m not superthrilled by his earliest work.

I agree that he’s still finding his feet here but still, there are at least two songs on (the first two) that most artists would give their right nut for. And let’s face it…given Prince’s reputation he could probably put it to good use.
