At this point Prince needs a more comprehesive compilation, covering more than just hits.

Put this task to casual fans and we'd have a predictable greatest hits package. (Not that his hits shouldn't be included if that's what you want)

Can us prince.org members come up with something more varied and interesting?

Nominate as many songs as you like
Indicate what version - if there are multiple versions.
Indicate the source - album, single, b-side, bootleg
Be creative

I'll keep the nominations open for a week and then tabulate the "findings."

Goal: 3 20-song CDS (basically, what the .org things are his 60 best songs)

I nominate:

The Question of U
Joy in Rep.
Billy Jack Bitch
Gold
Dolphin
Hot Thing (ext'd)
Anotherloverholenyohead
Sometimes It Snows
Girls & Boys
Don't Play Me
If I Was Your Girlfriend

I hate random anthologies. Either give me a great hits package. Or give me the unreleased shit. All this picking and choosing from this album or that album and this rarity and that demo and that outtake is never satisfying to me with any artist.

Yeah, I'm sure you know what Prince needs

I just threw up in my mouth a little.

Raze said:

you clearly are another stereotypical prince fan

RumAndRaisin said:

Yeah, one of those really annoying Prince fans that likes his good music and not the crap. Sorry.

personally, I'd love to have Crystal Ball 2.

Since that may never happen, I'd want Prince to release the songs that would fill up his abandoned projects. Imagine if WB/Prince released the remaining songs from C.B./Dream Factory or other items like that! now that is something worth getting.

If Prince came out with an Anthology collection like The Beatles which contained demos, alt. versions, etc... now THAT would be an Anthology worth seeking out.

Another greatest hits package? I can do that myself, but I am enjoying reading what others think are great songs. Always interesting to hear other tastes.
