Bambi

Lovesexy
If i was your Girlfriend
The Cross .....
its too hard to pick ten anyway ,he has had so many albums .

it's too hard to pick just 10 when he has like 1,000

Databank (with The Revolution)
Girl, extended version (with The Revolution)
Old Friends 4 Sale, original lyric version (with The Revolution)
Soul Psychedelicide, prior to any Kim Basinger attachments, (The Mothership Version with George Clinton/Parliament/Funkadelic)
Something in the Water (Does Not Compute)
Private Joy
An Honest Man (original version, as performed at Le New Morning)
Joy In Repetition
Forever In My Life

I'm not sure I'd call something a best SONG if it's nothing much more than a funky beat. To me, something like "Eye Hate U" would be one of his ten best compositions.

To me, Prince's best is not solely defined by his ballads or his more infamous tracks like Crystal Ball, even though I like those tracks too.

To me, Prince's funk tracks (like Databank and HELL I forgot La, La, La, He, He, Hee!) really define him as an artist. I wish I knew who composed the horn arrangements on LalalaHehehee, I consider that horn arrangement BLISS.

I would always try to come up with a nice cross-section of what I consider Prince's best, from ballads to funky hipmovers.

Sometimes I play Databank ten times in a row cuz I cannot believe how fonky it is.

GoldenGlove said:

Sorry...WAY 2 many typicals.....

Sister
Ronnie Talk 2 Russia
Tamborine
Feel U Up
Sexuality
Lady Cab Driver
All The Critics Love U In NY
All My Dreams
An Honest Man (Piano version from UTCM Intro)
Paisley Park

Only including stuff released under his own name there, otherwise it would get messy as stuff like Mia Bocca, Romance 1600 and Fourteen would be tussling for a slot in that list.

Don't forget about "Call My Name" and "She's Always In My Hair"... I don't care what anybody says... those songs are incredible.

Sorry, but I don't think these five quite make it. Particularly My Name is Prince. The other 4 are great songs, just not the best, and that's a fact!

GoldenGlove said:

I'm not arguing here, I'm changing. Get rid of Bambi,Musicology & Controversy and replace them with Lady Cab Driver, Joy of Repition & 17 Days. Do that I think it'll be set.
