A Teenagers Compilation

If you had to compile Prince songs for a group of teens today- which ones would you use to ensure they listened to the whole CD without skipping tracks?

If you have to do something kicking and screaming and tearing down others with your "self love" words- maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place.

I am honestly trying to figure out that question myself so that I can get my friends to listen to him

"The Rainbow Children." would probably interest teens...maybe male's more than girls...and anything kind of fast...several songs from Chaos and Disorder...
and Emancipation... I would probably leave the slower stuff for when they get to know Prince music.

It really depends what kind of music they're in to. RnB? Rock? Pop?

"Teenagers" is just too much of a generalisation.

Hmm.. I'm a teenager so I'd be able to do this.

I've got my friends into Prince by the following tracks..

I Wanna Be Your Lover
Kiss
Incense & Candles
TMBGITW
Future Baby Mama
Hot Thing
Little Red Corvette
Black Sweat
Diamonds & Pearls
Purple Rain
U Got The Look
Darling Nikki
If I Was Your Girlfriend

You know, the usual shit hop T-Pain, Flo Rida etc..

I got my 'emo' rock punk type friends into tracks like Darling Nikki..

i'm 18 and pretty picky about what i listen too, so i'd suggest 1999 (the entire album!) even if whoever is listening to it doesn't appreciate how great a piece of art it is and what it's done for music today, they'll think its funny and enjoy it to some degree.
