...

5 is hard!! mmmm....

1)The Ballad Of Dorothy Parker - Man, I miss this side of Prince--I get the feeling we're not gonna see this quirky-funky, left-of-center type of thing from him anymore -- IMO, the closest he got to Sly's loose feel...

2)Joy In Repitition- Dark and hypnotic...


3)Let's Work - when I hear this, no matter what I'm doing, I gotta stop and groove!!


4)Adore - Beautiful and Hilarious at the same time!


Now there's about a hundred different tunes that could go at number five,..... but today, I'm going with:

5) Wait! last minute substitute!.....


...OK!

5)The Daisy Chain --I can't stop grooving on this...I tried!


I just assumed we weren't doing "unofficial" tracks -- that would be a whole 'nother list, lol !!

He's got too many tunes to knock it down to 5.
Don't know about "Of All Time" either but here's mine off the top and for the moment...

Head (fav from the earlier days)
Sign O'The Times (the vibe)
Rock Hard In A Funky Place (horns)
Another Lonely Christmas (Purple Rain's drunken twin)
How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore (just a man and his piano)

...Honorable Mention - Bob George (pure fun)

It's the first song I heard by him. I could totally relate to it at the time. I went back and bought the first and second album and was utterly and completely blown away.

I'm not sure if this is quite the order I'd put them but if absolutely had to be limited to five I think they would be

Lady Cab Driver-Catchy as hell, incredibly (even disturbingly) sexual, PURE funk, and a great display of his talents for lead guitar, rhythm guitar, bass playing, drumming, drum machine programming, vocals. Oh hell it's practically the ultimate prince song.
Alphabet Street-Poppy yes but gloriously poppy and incredibly funky, show's what his Lovesexy-era band could do
Computer Blue-The Dark, weird, robotic funk-rock jam to end all dark, weird robotic funk-rock jams. The extended version is perhaps prince's magnum opus
Play In The Sunshine-Prince's Dance To The Music, a wild boogying masterpiece faithful to the spirit of rock, funk, and big band jazz at the same time
She's Always In My Hair-Call it quaint if you wish, but the lyrics resonant with me more than any other prince song, plus it's glitzy neo-psychedelic rock at it's finest

Elaboration Edit
