Mine is "How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore". As a piano player, I love just him and the simple instrument. The bridge build-up gives me chills! Sign 'o' The Times. Not just because it is awesome, but because of what a radical departure it was to hear it for me from his previous songs. It is rhythmically one of the most spacious songs I ever remember him putting out. The lyric is, of course, socially conscious. But the Rhythm and the guitar parts in that song Perfectly complement its sentiment. "Everything that's in your heart, come what may
Even though his might get broken" RIP Prince | |

I remember when I heard the opening chords of this live for the first time in concert and I leaped out of my seat and yelled, "Mountains!" People looked at me like I was crazy. "Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything." --Plato

So glad I'm not the only one that picked that one!
The beat/the bass - sparse. Not busy at all, yet still completely full and consuming.
And of course, the lyric - it's not convoluted yet not simple. You know exactly what he's saying here.
But for me - I think the guitar that comes in in the second verse is so perfectly, harmonically dissonant that it fully tells the story of the lyric itself. It carries the mood of the words throughout the entire song, like musical punctuation.
It's flatly captivating. "Everything that's in your heart, come what may
Even though his might get broken" RIP Prince | |

"When Doves Cry" for sure. There are soooo many great songs, but this song to me is absolutely just definitively Prince. A perfect combination of beat and lyrics. AND that guitar lick at the very beginning -- it just grabs you!! Perfect. | |

Thieves in the Temple!! It's in my top 5 "most played" prince songs with Sign 'O' The Times (the one I picked), 7, Fury and 3121. I listen to much more than that of course - but those seem to get the most play. "Everything that's in your heart, come what may
Even though his might get broken" RIP Prince | |

Ok, I have thought long and hard about this and I have decided! For me it is Joy in Repetition - today anyway!
I love his vocals and the when you listen to it on headphones the guitar dances around your head. It's hypnotic and magical. [Edited 6/27/16 3:09am] Thank u 4 a funky time | |

When Doves Cry. It was my introduction to him, so it will always be #1 for that reason, though I've loved many of his other songs with just as much intensity... [Edited 6/28/16 9:45am] | |

Ok, ok, I'm changing my song again. My favorite song is "Now". "I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters," Donald Trump | |
