I was reading the thread that posed the question, what is Prince's best song and at a point someone pointed out that the question doesn't mean what's your favorite Prince song, but what's his most accomplished.

Using that criteria, what do you feel are his absolute best 10 songs (because choosing one is near impossible).

My list is as follows:

1.When Doves Cry
2.Purple Rain
3.Joy in Repetition
4.The Love We Make
5.Adore
6.The Love We Make
7.Crystal Ball
8.Sign 'O the Times
9.Last December
10.Old Friends 4 Sale

Now that I made the list, I realize I could name a ton of others.

Best, and not favorite... (off the top of my head)

1. Purple Rain
2. When Doves Cry
3. The Beautiful Ones
4. Computer Blue
5. Little Red Corvette
6. Automatic
7. Anna Stesia
8. Adore
9. If I Was Your Girlfriend
10. Joy in Repetition

btw, you have "The Love We Make" twice on your list. You must really like it, eh? I do too... but it didn't make my top ten.

Thanks for pointing that out. I didn't mean to list that song twice (I do REALLY like it though). Now I can add "Theives in the Temple".
