I like it for the quirky entries (Temptation, God, International Lover)

But the best is the inclusion of Forever In My Life.

I refuse to believe that a greatest hits CD like this one, one full of hits, leaves out
Purple Rain
(!) and includes What Do U Want Me 2 Do?.
Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.

It's not a greatest hits but I did want to include all the no. 1's. I left out Purple Rain, U got the Look and Diamonds cos they didn't make it and I don't like em. What Do U Want Me 2 Do? is in my top 10 Princly tracks. Old Purple Rain is a bit on the long side anyway.

Glad to see you are a fan of Prince's work in the 90's. One song is picked over a 12 year period! wink

I would have like to have included Ripopgodazippa and lovesign, I think those are his best 90's tracks. I also really like Loose!, Papa and the other version of Joy in Repetition with the long intro but the album version starts too brashly to include.

And since u like SquirrelMeat I have to say I love Superfunky too.

Nice job, my best of CD's ended up being a 5 disk set, I don't think I could narrow it to 2.

Yeah, my Essentials turned into a 5 disc affair, too. 1978-1983, 1984-1988, 1989-1994, 1995-1998, and 1999-2004. If I can find it, I'll post it up.

Here's my essential ONE disc selection.

I think it's good to stick to a theme when making compilations.

D.M.S.R.
Controversy
Head
Let's Work
Partyup
Dirty Mind
Sexuality
Erotic City
Irresistible Bitch
Lady Cab Driver
Sexy Dancer
Uptown

All the full-length versions where applicable.

I'll program my walkman to play your selection later. Sounds good. It's handy having 30 albums on the one cd.

Leaving out a fantastic track like "Anna Stesia" and including an awful number like WDUWM2D is just WRONG!!! Still, its your CD, so you go with it!!! (Since you were sharing, I thought you were inviting other's opinions). I will give you kudos for "17 Days", although I would have to also include "She's Always In My Hair"

the last 3 won't fit on a disk so i'll have to just delete them which makes its an Essential Warner Bros. collection of Prince tracks. Lets have a look at your tracklist young jedi. Is the force strong in your selection?
