Fellow Prince fans I need your help I am making a 2 CD "best of Prince" type of set. Here is the problem:
I only have room for one more song and it is between "Take me with U" and "17 Days". Now, "take me with U" is better known, but I think "17 days" is the better song. This compilation is for the casual Prince fan. The collection already has any songs from Purple Rain on it, yet "17 days" is the same era. Which one should I choose? "New Power slide...." |

Wow. 17 days it is.
Same situation: Only room for one brand new song. Do I keep "Fury" or "3121"? "New Power slide...." |

If your making a "best of" then it's take me with U. Now if you making a compilation cd then it's 17 days. |

17 days is good but Take me with you is a great song
My gf wasnt into Prince till she heard that song which she loves. | |

Same situation: Only room for one brand new song. Do I keep "Fury" or "3121"? 17 Days is the kind of song that grew on me. Take Me With U was the kind of song which hooked me right away. That's something which you might want to take into account...Take Me With U is probably guaranteed to hook your listener immediately. I prefer weird music like 3121 myself, but Fury is much more accessible to the average listener. If the person you're making the CD for is the type of person who likes straightforward rock with no surprises, then I would have to suggest Fury. If they are more adventuresome with their music, then definitely 3121. gcu1 Just say "NO" to cow mucus consumption! | |

Curious whats on your 2 cd set there?? Why not make a third cd full of fan favorites that did not make the charts. |

17 Days is his best B side, its a great song, and has a believable lyric, whereas Take me with u is pleasant sounding and bouncy thats it. That song and Darling Nikki are PR's weakest link, 17 Days, how could u even entertain the thought of comparing it to Take me with U.
PS What else is on your CDs 17 Years ago I made a commitment to Prince | |

Depends: you want a happy song? Take Me With You.
Sad? 17 days | |

the others are almost b-side material | |

Most definately 17 Days!! That track is bangin'! "Bring friends, bring your children and bring foot spray 'cause it's gon' be funky." ~ Prince
A kiss on the lips, is betta than a knife in the back ~ Sheila E Darkness isn't the absence of light, it's the absence of U ~ Prince | |

Curious whats on your 2 cd set there?? Why not make a third cd full of fan favorites that did not make the charts. Honestly, when I make "greatest hits" sets they do not exlusively focus on the charts. Case in point, "Adore" was not a big song chartwise yet it frequently makes my collections. Also, I have a 2CD set for the newbie because mre would be overwhelming. I also, have an expanded 4 disc set that is a more comprehensive. "New Power slide...." |

That's the song that changed me from a casual fan to the obsessed fan I am today. If it worked for me it can work for anyone!! The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp. | |

I would say 17 Days regardless, but seeing as All Prince Radio on AOL stared Playing 17 Days just as I started reading this post, I really have to say 17 Days now. | |
