My guess is that you want some of his extra time and his kiss?

chronoligal order

1.Dirty Mind (pure electro/funk/new wave perfection)

2.Head (probably his best funk song)

3.1999 (hymn)

4.Little Red Corvette (his best new wave/FM pop song)

5.DMSR (MPLS...the bible)

6.When Doves Cry (his peak)

7.Purple Rain (rock for the 80's)

8.Kiss (his trademark sound)

9.SOTT (just one of his very best lyrics-productions)

10.If I Was Your Girlfriend (omg, this sounds 8 years ahead of its time!)

nice list

Dirty Mind

Lets Work

Automatic

DMSR

Lady Cab Driver

Lets Pretend We're Married

17 Days

Lets Go Crazy

Beautiful Ones

She's Always In My Hair

In Order:

1. Sometimes It Snows In April
2. Sign O The Times
3. Purple Rain
4. All The Critics Love U In New York
5. Controversy
6. When Doves Cry
7. Mountains
8. The Beautiful Ones
9. Under The Cherry Moon
10. Lady Cab Driver

I'm guessing there's no real surprises here, except maybe 4&9..

Also, it's shameful how few times 'Sometimes It Snows In April' comes up. No wonder people here hate everything post-Lovesexy.. they can't appreciate deep lyrics or serious, not-funky music.

Edit: Forgot about Lady Cab Driver.. it bumps Ballad of Dorothy Parker down to #11.

Given your list and that Dirty Mind is your favorite album, I'm not surprised you don't agree. I am surprised, though, that my #1 pick shocked you, and nobody elses did. Other people list songs like I Wish U Heaven, Cindy C, Le Grind and Ronnie Talk To Russia, and Sometimes It Snows In April is shocking?? Wow!

My head hurts! So many to name from this decade. I know, I know, I couldn't do it. I had to make 3 lists of 10. Too much great material there. My favorites. Maybe I will try to narrow it down after the three lists of ten, but I had to leave out stuff to even get to this. Oh well. Sorry.

In no particular oder:

1) Head

2) Uptown

3) When 2 R In Love

4) Scandalous

5) D.M.S.R.

6) Automatic

7) Do Me Baby

8) Anotherloverholenyohead

9) Let's Pretend We're Married

10) Controversy

1) Lady Cab Driver

2) If I Was Your Girlfriend

3) Private Joy

4) Let's Work

5) International Lover

6) She's Always In My Hair

7) Pop Life

8) Erotic City

9) Housequake

10) Hot Thing

1) Adore

2) Irresistible Bitch

3) When U Were Mine

4) How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore

5) 1999

6) The Beautiful Ones

Cindy C and LeGrind are good choices

Heaven or ROnnie as number 1 is shocking too, but at least they're not a boring, The Revolution bullshit folk ballad

and you know that DM is my fav P album ...
