Hmm, they seem to think that Pop Life is from Graffiti Bridge, so maybe not the most well researched of lists, to put it mildly. Still, they did get When You Were Mine in there, and that's clearly the best song ever, so I will refrain from criticising too harshly, as I'm sure everybody else will do that amply below.

Their lists are okay. However, I'd have much rather spent the last 15 minutes watching a video of some of the really knowledgeable Prince music enthusiasts that have graced the Org, at one time or another, presenting their thoughts on the subject. shrug

I knew from the start that I loved you with all my heart.

I know what you mean. This would be a good list for someone who isn't really overly familiar with Prince's oeuvre, and the mention of When You Were Mine and Dirty Mind will hopefully prompt some of those people to check out what is imo one of the unsung (well, less so than later albums, although it is well regarded critically) highpoints of Prince's career, but for more knowledgable fans it's frustratingly basic, and the factual errors really grate.
