I'd put Anna Stesia on there. And a lot of TRC stuff.

I'll pick these along with:
God, The Ladder, Graffiti Bridge, One of Us, She Gave Her Angels, 4 The Tears In Your Eyes, Annie Christian, and Eye No are some of the ones I can think of.
Peace and be wild!

Even though he includes the lords prayer in Controversey...I still would not consider it a 'religious' song. My top seven are:

4 the tears in your eyes
GOD
the cross
Everywhere
The word
God is Alive
Eye No
Stand Up! Everybody, this is your life!

I don't think I know enough to make a list.


But Gold is very gospel to me personally (as my "soul tattoo"), so I put it at # 1.
had 2 run away... pride was 2 strong. It started raining, baby, the birds were gone

are you asking in terms of simply how good the song is, or how meaningful it is spiritually to me as a person? i mean i love the everlasting now but i pee all over its "accurate knowledge of christ and the father". elephants and flowers probably wins in both actually; great song and its chorus sums up my exact feelings about "god" very beautifully. eye no is close behind and very inspiring. 7 is a great song but i dont know what the hell its about beyond just being funky Revelations.

Still Would Stand All Time (one of his best EVER)
Live 4 Love


As 0(+> (1993-2000)

7 (very picturesque)
Dolphin
Gold
The Holy River
The Love we Make
INto The Light
The Truth

Prince 2001-present

The Rainbow Children
