Ok, here's the deal, you have to build a Prince album (with Prince songs of course) with the following guidlines:

1. A top 10 Hit
2. A bootleg/demo/outtake
3. A funk song
4. A rock song
5. A ballad
6. An extended version
7. A song he wrote for someone else
8. A live song
9. Your favorite song

Let's see what you guys got!

actually i did because 1+9+9+9 is 28; 3+1+2+1 is 7. 28 divided by 7 is 4 and then Purple Rain (the song) only reached number 2 so 4+2=6, so i decided to skip it. And because since Prince is a JW and the devil's number consists of just 6's, i didnt want to include it.
