A Party Of OneParty of One: His Purple Highness

Today we delve indo the mind of Prince Rogers Nelson, aka Prince, the Purple One, Mister Minneapolis, His Purple Badness.  There's no question, he is a genius.  And when critics talk about Prince's vast catalog of incredible work, one album consistently tops the lists: Sign o' the Times. And as has often been the case with many critically acclaimed recored, it never sold well.  It's a double album that is the result of a mad purple genius cleaning the cluttered bits out of his royal noodle, and it's fantastic.
