My method will be, pick 1 song from each album, then cut that to 17:
1.So Blue 2.Bambi 3.Controversy 4. Little Red Corvette 5. Purple Rain (Picked mostly because of length of song. Theyre all great) 6.Condition of the heart 7. The Cross 8. Partyman 9. Thunder 10. 7 11. The Most Beatutiful Girl In the World 12. In this bed I scream 13. Old Friends 4 Sale 14. Musicology 15. Lolita 16. Guitar 17. June
Thanks, this was tough, but if you only allow one song per release, it hepls whittle it down. I love all these songs a lot. They are my favorite 17 from my favorite 17 albums. I dont own HNR2 yet so mayhaps 17 could be different for me.
I think it would be fun to do a top 20 list of one-word title songs but that seems arbitrary LOL. You'll notice more than half are singularly worded LOL. No matter the ©️, Paisley Park "official can never ™️  . He gave that to us verbally on Oprah in 1996. You can't take away from us, corporate. I mean O ( + > | |

. I had a difficult time as well. Missing "If I Was Your Girlfriend," "Power Fantastic," "June," "Condition Of The Heart," "Pink Cashmere," and "Solo." Those 7 are on the Japanese only bonus disc . [Edited 5/17/16 19:22pm] | |
