I would try the Chaos and Disorder album. At least the 1st 3 track on the album.
Sign of the times may also work.I got brother hooked with that album.

All of these songs come out to about 79 minutes, so I hope you have an 80 minute blank disc.

7
1999
Controversy
Cinnamon Girl
Cream
Dirty Mind
Don't Play Me
Erotic City
I Hate You
I Would Die 4 U
It
Kiss
My Name Is Prince
Partyman
Sign O The Times
Starfish and Coffee
The Marrying Kind
The Most Beautiful Girl In The World
When Doves Cry
Chaos and Disorder

At 15 however, your friend may not be ready for Prince's music.

I'm not trying to be funny but, alot of the younger crowd haven't experienced what real music is. So it would be nice if you could help him understand what real musicians consists of. Most of the artists today are performers not musicians. Good Luck!!!!!

I hope your plan works whatever you decide to do but don't get mad if he doesn't "get it". Keep on jammin anyway!
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

I have a 17 year old friend and a 14 year old friend and they to this day try to tell me what real music is disbelief

They criticize me for having records from the 80's!!! omg

Purple Rain

The tried and true album to convert someone.

Yeah, I'd just have him check out 1999, Purple Rain, or Sign 'o' the Times... Those are the albums that got almost all Prince fans hooked in the first place.

Mid-90s stuff is the only stuff all my prince-hating friends like. And they actually despise Prince.

I'm 16. I know what they love. They love the electronic 90s funk. And so do I. It's the best stuff for a teenager nod

I can't believe people are recommending the 80s stuff - get back in ya' zimmerframes - no self-respecting teenager will listen to, yet alone touch that! they just pass it off as soon as they hear the drums.
