man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81

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

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 sad ... Its one of the 5 best songs Ive heard from Prince in the past few years...

Hey! FrenchGuy!

what do you say?
I got all the albums, and this is not a problem to get them here in France.
I've purchased LotusFlow3r on the FNAC website. And the price was about 25EUROS, not so expensive.

the only one CD I don't have (like you) is the most famous "Rainbow Children". I'm just trying to get an US Import from a japaneese website. I think it won't take a long before I got it!
People say I'm wearing heels because I'm short. I wear heels because the women like 'em.
