I'm not sure if this is quite the order I'd put them but if absolutely had to be limited to five I think they would be

Lady Cab Driver-Catchy as hell, incredibly (even disturbingly) sexual, PURE funk, and a great display of his talents for lead guitar, rhythm guitar, bass playing, drumming, drum machine programming, vocals. Oh hell it's practically the ultimate prince song.
Alphabet Street-Poppy yes but gloriously poppy and incredibly funky, show's what his Lovesexy-era band could do
Computer Blue-The Dark, weird, robotic funk-rock jam to end all dark, weird robotic funk-rock jams. The extended version is perhaps prince's magnum opus
Play In The Sunshine-Prince's Dance To The Music, a wild boogying masterpiece faithful to the spirit of rock, funk, and big band jazz at the same time
She's Always In My Hair-Call it quaint if you wish, but the lyrics resonant with me more than any other prince song, plus it's glitzy neo-psychedelic rock at it's finest

I'm new here. Just wanted to add my favorite 5 (off the top of my head).

1. Extra Loveable
2. When Doves Cry
3. Darling Nikki
4. 777-9311
5. I'm Yours

(You'll notice from 1,2,4 I like the Linn Drum wink )

lol... out of respect I cut out the others I put in here... The 5 above are tentative of course.
[Edited 9/9/05 17:26pm]

I see that you're an O.G P fan like myself! All of your picks are from 84 and below. I dig how u picked "Extra Loveable" as your first choice. That and "Electric Intercourse" are his best unreleased songs ever!

I like your 3, 4 and 5 picks. "Gett Off" was probably written at a much earlier time than when it was released. It sounds like some "Black Album" shit, circa 86, 87 to me. And "Electric Chair" is banging!

nod agree about 'Computer Blue'

The extended version is like a funk opera....

Man, shit. If it hadn't been for the movie, this version AND the unedited version of "Darling Nikki" AND "The Beautiful Ones" would have been on the album. He could have bumped "Take Me With U" definately. That would have been a straight b-side, no doubt.

1.Computer Blue,12' - Prince wrote this song about ME.
2.Glam Slam - made me the fan i am now.
3.Batdance - This song is as crazy as I am
4.Xtra Loveable - First boot i ever heard. Funky as hell. We need an extended version.
5.Darling Nikki - My first taste of "sex" Prince. I love the whole "anonymously meeting someone for a wild night of crazy sex" feel of the song. I feel so sexy and slutty listening to it. The song would kick so much ass if it was just an instrumental.

Hmmmm...I guess it's not impossible for Gett Off to be written back then...it sure is dark and sexy like alot of the Black Album....and yes Electric Chair is one of my favorite Prince songs ever...it is one of those Prince songs that often get ignored but there is so much greatness in that song!

P.S. Have you ever heard the Theives in the Temple extended version? OMG those drums! I always liked the song but when I first heard the extended mix it became like my FAVORITE Prince song of all time. That beat is amazing! biggrin

Yeah, I've heard it. No doubt, it's a cool song. Truth be told, damn near all of P's full length version's are better than his edited versions. That's why his 1999 album is so great.

nod Exactly. BG, what I like about was that you got extended grooves which was a lot of bang for you bucks even back then. You didn't have to buy a 12 inch single.
