I know that no one could every please anyone else with their ratings of so many songs, but I still find it hard to believe that When You Were Mine is so much in the middle of the pack here. I read it and then later read the post again just to see if I could assimilate it the second time. I coudn't. Just sayin

Thank you for your feedback. I never took much notice of the track until I heard the live version from the one night alone set. I do think it's a great track just not essential. It's all about opinions.

My car is 16 years old so before I change it I want to make use of the 6 disc auto changer in the boot and I'm listening to 6 albums a week in chronological order.

Cool that you are doing this! Do you mind if others post their ratings?

Also, feel free to jump in on the big Prince song rating poll that I am doing - link is in my sig.

Looks like I'll have to convert my ratings to a mark out of 10 instead of out of 5. I'll do this from week 2 & revisit the early albums at a later date. Thanks for the replies.

I'm happy if for the poll, you'd just multiply your ratings by 2 to put them on a 0-10 scale.

Any new set of ratings this week?

Ratings have been converted and updated.

I'm dropping the Very Best of compilation since it doesen't carry any new material which leaves room for just the one unreleased project in week 2.
