What are your top 10 Prince songs?

Reading another blog here I got to thinking: What're my favorite Prince songs? I write poetry and many of his tracks are very inspiring. Here's my list:

Gold

Elephants & Flowers

The Most Beautiful Girl In The World

Beautiful, Loved & Blessed

Friend, Lover, Sister, Mother, Wife

Dinner With Delores

Reflection(live on Tavis Smiley with Wendy)

The Beautiful Ones

The Ladder

7

What's your Top 10?

In order:

No:1 Has 2 be Rock hard ina funky place..that guitar solo alone is worth the top spot

2.. Electric Intercourse.. "don't U wanna..?" 2 me this song is everything the beautiful Ones wanted 2 be, an understated masterpiece

3.. My Love is 4 ever, such an honest flowing song which spoils us with 2 guitar solos

4.. COME.. It's not so mucha song as a journey..that build up after the instrumental part is AMAZING

5.. Shhh.. When I saw Prince perform this live on the Welcome 2 the Dawn video I knew he'sd been sent by God, no mortal person could of done that, divine

6.. Rainbow Children..all glorious 10 minutes 3 seconds of it! As an openining to an album and all the colour and ancient playing with futuristic sounds it has 2 be one of the best songs I've ever been honoured 2 witness

7(joint).. Uneedanotherlover likeuneedawholeinurhead/Vikki Waiting.. Catchy with great arrangements and all the confusion of human eros relationships

8.. Saviour.. The most powerful and perhaps honest song Prince has ever written and performed

9.. In a large room with no light/I could never take the place of ur man.. I like the Latin element in the music plus the songs are so gripping

10.. The Cross.. The ending is literally Prince as Michaelangelo,s chapel painting touching the hand of GOD himself with his guitar and 2 date is the ONLY song 2 have EVER moved me 2 tears

R.I.P Prince

7 June 1958- 19 Oct 2012

Going off the playcount from my iTunes library...

Days Of Wild (easily number 1 by some margin; various versions of it = 199 plays!)

Raspberry Beret (his best 'pop' song in my opinion)

Cream (just a classic track)

Peach (His best 'rock' single?)

Endorphinmachine (all versions of this rock)

Pink Cashmere (Clare Fischers best string arrangement too imvho)

Forever In My Life (great hearing that @ the o2 for the 21 nights stint & the SotT film version kicks ass)

Come (Beautiful Experience Version)

3121 (Ahhh - P, Sonny T and Michael B just as good as P, Wendy and Lisa as a band goes for me)

Guitar
