4. Purple Rain
5. Nothing Compares 2 U

Gett Off is a cool song. Great guitar riff as well. I wish he did a whole album on that vibe.

BG now that would've been off the chain indeed. It definitely would've turned the idustry on their ears for sure and turned us ladies on and the same time.

Wow, very cool and interesting list. I like how u picked "Annie Christian" and "Free" as your top two. Great songs indeed.

funkpill said:

We agree on two, pill. When Doves and Lady Cab!

blackguitaristz said:

When Doves Cry coulda been five, but I hardly listen to it, that's the problem with legendary but overplayed songs.

Anne Christian is one of the coolest songs of all-time.

Welcome2daRevolution said:

Yeah, Paisley Park is a cool song. My fvaorite off of that album, actually. I really like the 12' version.

Interesting how so many of us who have posted dig "Controversy" to the point of listing it as one of our top 5. Really, I thought I was one of the few who actually liked that song that much.

blackguitaristz said:

That's the jam!!

Funk at its best....

(in no particular order)

1. Sign 'O' The Times (the lyrics are geniu)
2. My Name Is Prince (probably my overall fave)
3. Controversy (the funk)
4. Musicology (gotta have that funk! lol)
5. Purple Rain (classic)

DarkKnight1 said:

GREAT! list!

Welcome2daRevolution said:

If I had to make a 2nd list, this would be it!

As usualy most people's favs are the hits and not the more unknown tracks. I cant choose right now so, i'll get back to ya!

blackguitaristz said:

Well BG, the song has such strong funk that you can't resist it. Plus, the lyrical content is profound and classic P.

MadameS said:
