We are all fans of the Revolution. I was addressing people with a strong preference for that era. Nlow, I am addressing everyone.

My question..would you name 10 songs from later decades (post 80's).. that you love or strongly like?

1990's, 2000's, 2010's.

I am curious and i would somehow feel better knowing that P's work wasn't totally dismissed by his 80's fans after the 80's ended.

I mean this respectfully. I will happily make a list (not in any order) of my 30 favorite 80's prince songs to reciprocate..

A. I LOVE the whole Rainbow Children album

B. I enjoy the Truth

1. Money Don't Matter 2 Night

2. Space

3. I Hate U

4. Tangerine

5. 3121

6. Planet Earth

7. Walk in the Sand / Sticky Like Glue

8. Lavaux

9. Baltimore

10. Revelation

Let's not forget that the Revolution was only 3 years. You could easily ask the same question of the band from 1979-1982. Gayle replaced by Lisa. Brownmark replaced Andre. Those are great years, and some of the music we love the most. Also, there was still SOTT, Lovesexy, & Batman rounding out the 80s. All three fan favorites. So - my point being that there's more to the 80s stuff than Revolution. Hopefully, good fans aren't dismissing of stuff past Batman. For me, I quite love the 90s era. It reflected the 80s a lot, with a newer sound.

Also, 2010-now is another decade in the making. I'm not including anything from Crystal Ball or The Vault Old Friends 4 Sale since they're older songs. I'm going to pull from 'new' albums.

1990s (in no order)

1. Endorphinmachine
2. Gold
3. TMBGITW
4. Love 2 The 9s
5. Space
6. Race
7. The Exodus Has Begun
8. Come
9. Peach
10. The Love We Make

And the Tony M-free album.

2000s (in no order) no including any internet releases; that's its own monster IMO

1. Musicology
2. 3121
3. Love
4. The One U Wanna C
5. Pearls B4 The Swine
6. The Dance
7. Fury
8. Somewhere Here On Earth
9. No More Candy 4 U
10. Dreamer

2010s (in no order)

1. Laydown
2. Future Soul Song
3. Anotherlove
4. Marz
5. Way Back Home
6. Baltimore
7. Rock n Roll Love Affair
8. Groovy Potential
9. Screwdriver
10. Big City

10 from each decade. Not ten total. And AnotherLove isn't his song.

Okay, here is my 30 from the Eighties (pre-revolution as well)--AS Promised.

. I am going to mostly stick to released songs (I am tempted to include Strange Way) and I am leaving off Purple Rain due to being tired of the song. Plus, I know I am going to forget some.

The ballad of Dorothy Parker

Strange Relationship

I would never take the place of your man (these might be my favorite lyrics of his)

Positivity

Rockhard in a funky place

One to grow on--She's always in my hair (I hate the drum on that song though so I subsequently like the remakes he did better)

My bad. I didn't read your request fully. But I since reedit my post.

I am confused as to what era you want us to post about.

Here is my top 10 too for pre-Revolution I am talking about the songs that I like prior to the officially credit Prince and the Revolution starting the 1999 album.

Controversy

Annie Christian

Uptown

Do Me Baby

I Wanna Be Your Lover

Dirty Mind

Party Up

Soft and Wet

Baby

Sexy Dancer

And as a Bonus: When We're Dancing Close and Slow

That is a good list. I listened to She's always in my hair during one of Jill's interviews and that was very underrated song. He took a shade at Jill but he also knew by wrote that song she actually cared about him a little too much.

Post 80's. I know that the Revolution was not a complete unit throughout the 80's. but the early 80's had Dez and Lisa, the later 80's had Leeds, Dr Fink...So just give me the post 80's era. In other words, most of his career..chronologically speaking..lol 10 songs for the 90's, 10 songs for the 2000-2009, ten songs in 2010 to death (okay you can give five here since the decade isn't over yet.)

Yes, I had gathered that bit. What confuses me is that you then go on to give all your favourite 80's songs... It's a bit late now, I'll have a think and post my answers tomorrow. There are so many I like from the post 1980's.

Here's my post 80's list even though I don't necessarily have an 80's preference and I am currently drawing a blank due to getting ready to leave.

1990's

The Truth

Don't Play Me

Dionne

Other side of the Pillow

There is Lonely (is this 90's)

Money DOn't Matter Tonight

Damn U

SHHH

(and more including Beautiful Strange)

2000's (can't stomach the Rainbow Children's lyrics or those in the COlonized Mind even though I like the music)

The Dance

Pearls Before Swine

One Night Only

Musicology

3121

Black Sweat

Love

Dreamer

Satisfied

Illusion Coma Pimp and Circumstance

Because in my original POst, I said I would gladly reciprocate by posting 80's music if Revolution/80's fans would post later music. in the interest of fairness...
