I can barely remember ANY prince songs from this decade, let alone think of 25 (!) favorites.

maybe te amo corazon. I seem to remember lolita and guitar not sucking when I heard them last, 3 years ago was it?

prince, start writing good pop songs again.

I don't think he has had 25 songs this decade that belong on any "best of" list. That is not to say that they weren't good, just not that good. I can give a list of the 10 best of the decade.

1. Fury
2. Wall of Berlin
3. $
4. On the Couch
5. The Question of U/Fallin'/The One (I will justify this if requested)
6. Muse 2 the Pharoh (live version only)
7. Guitar
8. 3121
9. Supercute (I think this is from this decade)
10. West

1. If Eye Was The Man In Ur Life
2. Here
3. Call My Name
4. Crimson And Clover
5. Last December
6. The Dance
7. Elixer
8. No More Candy 4 U
9. A Million Days
10. She Loves Me 4 Me
11. 3121

I dont have all of his albums from this decade (Still looking for that Rainbow Children album, Chocolate Box and N.E.W.S. and asking for an import of "LotUSflow3r" here in France would cost the skin of my ass!!), so I cant write a list... But I'l disappointed FutureBabyMama didnt make many lists ... Its one of the 5 best songs Ive heard from Prince in the past few years...

lol. i guess we would just have to listen to "te amo corazon" and "dance 4 me" all day long.
