An underrated album that still managed to sell millions, Parade is responsible for one of the most beloved hits of Prince's career: "Kiss", a preening, pawing strutter that proved just how funny he could be ("act your age/not your shoe size"). But Parade is also one of his most diverse efforts, featuring everything from the blazing funk workout of "Girls & Boys" to the moving balladry of "Sometimes It Snows in April".
