Ok, I'll play along, for right now, although there are much more than 5 that are my favorites:

1. Question of U - (Without a doubt, has an awesome sound - love the

instrumentation)

2. Joy in Repetition (smooth/mysterious sound)

3. Little Red Corvette - (the slowed-down version) - very cool

4. Dreamer (love the socio-political tone/message)

5. Sea of Everything (cool ballad with a Smokey Robinson flavor)

I know! Your top two are still a part of my top 10. It is so great that we are blessed with an artist that has made it just about impossible to narrow down our fovorites to a list of five. If I could expand, I would include:

When Eye Lay My Hands on U

Beautiful Strange

Future Soul Song (this song seriously rivals his 80s material it is so great)

The entire Parade album

Anna Stesia

Uh-oh, I'm breaking my own rules...

Okay, let me help you break your own rules. But as long as I only list 5 (per post) then I guess I'm not realllllyyyyy breaking the rules. Okay..here's more:

I actually listened to some songs on the "For You" album about 2 weeks ago, and actually heard "So Blue" for the first time:

6) So Blue (very pretty ballad)

7) Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad? (Love this track;fun and playful song,

yet innocent)

8) Sticky Like Glue (This brought me back to the 70s with the Brothers

Johnson sound, plus it's a cool track to do the electric

slide to when I feel like letting loose.. )

9) LayDown - (Love the funk rock sound of this one)

10) One Night Alone - (On Ona live cd- pretty song)

[Edited 6/7/11 20:01pm]

Top 5 for now:

1. WDC

2. Q of U

3. Little Red Corvette

4. 1999

5. AnnaStesia

I have a few in common with yours!

These have been my top 5 for a while, but it changes every now and then?

1. Anotherlover

2. When Doves Cry

3. Adore

4. Electric Chair

5. Forever in my Life

Funny! I debated between Forever in My Life and Controversy, but Controversy really embodies everything that made Prince's sound in the early 80s, so I went with that one. But, Forever in My Life would be my #6!

Yeah - my list is definitely lacking some of his earlier stuff. If I had to add a #6 from that time I would go with When U Were Mine. Forever in My Life is one of those songs that I love to sing along with, like I mean it!

Regardless...tons of good stuff to choose from!

Off the top of my head, this moment:

Sexy MF
Right Back Here in Your Arms
Anotherloveholeinyohead
If I Was Your Girlfriend
Ballad of Dorothy Parker (One Nite Alone live version)

1. Let's Work

2. Joy in Repetition

3. Question of U

4. Space

5. High

I was waiting for someone to list Ballad of Dorothy Parker. This is one of his most cleverly written songs, in my opinion. I think Sexy MF is a good pick as well.

one of us

peach

i like it there

lets go crazy ext version

gold

1. Open Book

2. Thieves in the Temple

3. Mountains

4. Adore

5. The Word

1- Power Fantastic

2- I Could Never Take The Place of Your Man

3- And God Created Woman

4- The Love We Make

5- What's My Name (the bass lines keep me coming back to this song!)

I could add lots more to this list but I'm sticking to your request for 5 songs

In no order: (plus my favorites always change)

1) Purple Rain

2) When you were mine

3) Little Red Corvette

4) When eye lay my hands on u

5) Kiss

The list is based on hearing the songs countless times and never getting bored with them.

1. I Hate U > The reason why I'm a Prince fan

2. Adore

3. Joy in Repetition

4. Electric Chair

5. Something In The Water (Does Not Compute)

I hate threads like these, they literally do my head in .. I love so many songs for so many different reasons, it's so hard to choose only five

eighteenandover said:

Sorry...I chose only five songs because I was thinking of the ultimate Prince survivor list. These are the songs that if I could only listen to five, those are the ones I wouldn't want to be without. I know it's a hard task. Glad we don't have to make this decision in reality!

5. Alphabet Street
