"The top 20 prince songs" is on VH1 Europe right now!!

Not really much of interest there is there really.

NouveauDance said:

All depends on weather your a Prince fan or not i guess.

GoldenGlove said:

oh Vh1 Europe, at least they are recognizing him.

lilgish said:

Yeah. ... i wish it was on UK.

GoldenGlove said:

Well, this isn't the top twenty Prince songs, it isn't even the top 20 Prince songs according to VH1 - It's a pick of 20 songs VH1 had video for.

blah. 'let's go crazy' should be higher...but then again, i'm thinking more of the 12" version, which i still find sublime.

NouveauDance said:

pretty much...it's the exact same songs that end up on their lists, it's as if they only know 1/4 of his catalogue.

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

someone should tell 'em he made albums before 'controversy'.

NouveauDance said:

Very strange list I think the person who compiled it doesn't know there Prince from their Michael Jackson.


I especially have a problem with Gett Off being in there above Little Red Corvette.

I don't get that list.

GoldenGlove said:

Okay...who was high when this list was complied? Musicology over WDC?

All the right songs but not necessary in the right order!

zennabell said:

true!

What a weird list. How can Musicology be above SOT and Rasberry Beret?

How is Gett Off in there at all ?

pepper7 said:

and where's Shockadelica?

thekidsgirl said:

Pretty much standard fare - nearly all obvious. As NouveauDance stated all the ones with videos!

Good to see The Morning Papers gets an honourable mention.

Yeah where Cloreen Baconskin?

GoldenGlove said:

My favorite Prince song is "kiss". Reminds me of being a little kid. I was only 4 when Parade came out, but my mom played that nonstop, forever.

I got chills when I bought the cd last year and played that song for the first time.

When Doves Cry should have been No.1 and where the hell is Cream ??

I would prefer a video-Top-20 like this:

20. Musicology
19. Partyman
18. Sexy MF
17. 7
16. I Wish U Heaven
15. Gold
14. I Would Die 4 U
13. U Got The Look
12. Alphabet St.
11. Cream
10. The Most Beautiful Girl In The World
09. Gett Off
08. Little Red Corvette
07. Let's Go Crazy
06. 1999
05. Sign O' The Times
04. Raspberry Beret
03. Kiss
02. Purple Rain
01. When Doves Cry

- I agree. The list is nice, but for me, songs like "Power Fantastic", "If I was your girlfriend", "question of U", "In all my dreams" and "How come u dont call me anymore" are more interesting than "I would die for U" and "Gold"

All singles, imagine that.

Such a list is meaningless as are all lists like this. Why is 'Controversy' less of a song than 'Musicology' for example? This list in particular smacks of 'name 20 Prince songs you can think of'.
