best 2 songs from emancipation

I'm still working on my best of prince CD's and a few people suggested i need something from emancipation. I really just don't get this CD, I just recently got it and i've listened to it more than a few times and it just seems quite tuneless and unmemorable. If you could only choose 2 songs from emancipation, what would u choose? I really just can't get into this CD and am hoping someone can turn me around. FWIW, the same goes for come which i've owned for years.

I love Emancipation, but if I can only choose two, I'll go with The Love We Make and Friend/Lover/Sister/Mother/Wife.

Somebody's somebody.

And...uh...dunno. One of: joint 2 joint, curious child & style probably.

InThis Bed I Scream

The Love We Make

"Emale" and "In This Bed I Scream"

Emancipation is ok but the only one I'd have on a best of compilation is Dreamin' About U.

If I had to chose a second I'd go for one from Emale, Joint 2 Joint, The Human Body, Style or My Computer, probabally Style.

Come is easy only 2 songs I dig there are Loose! and Papa, great stuff.

The Love We Make

Friend Lover Sister Mother Wife

damn can't only list two need to also think about...

Somebody's Somebody

Saviour

Emancipation

Sleep Around

Style

Joint 2 Joint & The Love We Make.

love is god, god is love, girls and boys love god above

The Holy River
My Computer


definitely NOT The Love We Make (the only people I've seen who like this song are on the org - nobody else I've ever played it to thinks it's remotely interesting)


Emancipation is full of good songs (and was the first P album I really got into). Unfortunately, some of the production is a little lacking, and the drum programming is pretty unimaginative.

Disc One:
Ok, my faves are on the other 2.

Disc Two:
Soul Sanctuary
Curious Child/Dreamin' About U
Joint 2 Joint
The Holy River

Disc Three:

my 2 picks are.."Soul Sanctuary" and "Emale"...and"Somebodys Somebody"...and"Style"...and "In This Bed I Scream"...and "My COmputer"...and "Dreamin' About U"...thats 2 aint it? U gotta realize I'm the product of a pre-lottery south Georgia education, so that whole 2 thing threw me off a little...

No one has mentioned "One Kiss at a Time"! That's classic Prince all the way.

Damned if I Do is really underrated too.

I'd go for Dreamin About U and The Holy River, must admit just those two was hard for me . Also a bit off the topic, but how popular is Curious Child around the .org as i don't see it mentioned much and it is one of my fave songs off Emancipation?

sex in the summer
can't make u love me

MissFee Got Her Own
"By lookin in her eyes
Knowin she can do for herself
Makes me wanna give her my wealth
Only kinda girl I want
Independent queen workin for her throne
I love her cause she got her own"
