I'm a lapsed fan, in that I was nutty about Prince til about '93, buying up everything, but then by Chaos and Disorder i'd lost interest, and since then only bought Rainbow Children and 3121 (though i've heard all the albums at least once)

If u were to burn me a best-of compilation, all killer no filler, from Chaos and Disorder to 3121, what would be on it? Keep it sexy, Single album length...

Here's my list:

I Like It There
Zannalee
Dreamin' About U
Joint 2 Joint
Face Down
The Truth
Don't Play Me
Prettyman
5 Women
When the Light Go Down
The Work Part 1
Last December
Reflection
Black Sweat
The Dance

It's not as easy as it first seems!
I gone for a short list not including crystal ball/truth or the vault.(?)

One Nit Alone
Mad Sex
1+1+1 is 3
I Will
I Like It There
She Loves Me 4 Me
Come On
Young And Beautiful
Reflection
The Dance

shit! I REALLY do like a lot of stuff from Emancipation too, it will just be full of ballads though. Never-mind, I think you would need a two disc compilation! I guess that's the difficulty in selecting one discs worth

i wouldn't agree with either of the lists above this note - too esoteric for someone returning to the fold. Try these more obvious choices

Lolita (3121)
When u were mine (live. One nite alone)
Da Bang (Crystal Ball)
Zanalee (C&D)
Style (Emanc)
Million Days (Music.)
Greatest Romance every been sold (Rave)
Holy River (Emanc)
Wasted Kisses (NPS)
The truth
Last December (Rainbow)

I made another list because there were more good songs

The Same December
Right Back Here in My Arms
Soul Sanctuary
Sleep Around
Come On
Man of War
Extraordinary
1+1+1 is 3
She Loves Me 4 Me
The Everlasting Now
Joy in Repetition from It Ain't Over
The Marrying Kind
Fury
The Word

01. When Eye Lay My Hands On U
02. Don't Play Me
03. The Word
04. I Like It There
05. Avalanche
06. Supercute
07. In This Bed Eye Scream
08. 1+1+1 is 3
09. Pearls B4 The Swine
10. Fury
11. Into The Light/I Will
