My favorite video are: partyman and thieves in the temple.

Once I shaw a video that I liked too. It was a black and white video and it was like a fairy tale, which Prince become a beggar and Mayte appears as a belly dancer,but I don't remember the title song. Anyone Know????

Kissesssss from Spain

Me too. Always has been my #1. So different from Purple Rain - which was risky. I remember the change to his hair, clothes, etc. Love the cough, when the girl hands him the guitar with adoration in her eyes, Wendy, his eyes - the whole thing screams Prince and I love it.

Sign'o'the times
Alphabet street

Yarrgh!

So many!

Kiss
Peach...

Aw hell, the entire video vault he's done.

Even that "Starfish and Coffe" thing where's he's dancing with the Muppett. I love it all!

I don't know...I'm quite fond of When Doves Cry and the whole 1999 set.

Although, off 2 the side, I'm curious about who the chick is in the "Gold" video...

just show the "Little Red Corvette" video for the first time in what feels like ages. But whenever that's on VH1 Classic, I never hesitate to drop everything I'm doing just to watch it...
When they do the "Rockin' Road Songs" countdown, I still turn on the TV whenever it comes on (#6).

Not the best all-around video... but just for nostaglic value. The first video I played b4 coming to this place
and it still thrills me. Seeing it the first time brought me back to see the last 10 minutes of PR the first time all those years ago.

I'd love to have a DVD full of stuff like that...

had a recording of that Muppets Tonight episode, lost it in the housefire and haven't found a new one since.

The first time I ever saw Prince was Controversy and I can still remember the way that video made me feel when I was 12 years old, all excited and nervous, it really effected me. I had never heard such pure funk before that.

KISS is however, is masterpeive, his OPUS, he was in top form when doing that, and he looked as cool and as funky as anyone can ever be. Perfection..

Some other vids Ive always loved (everything from Lovesexy, particularly Aphabet St, I wish U heaven.. they are soo..... Lovesexy??).

I love Partyman, so ambitous and playful.

I love the Gett off videos too, you cant beat seeing Prince in his swimsuit!! hahaha!

There's another funny one - I wanna melt with you, soft porn, which really had me steaming when I was 20 years old.. at that time I was looking for any type of porn possible and Prince knew what I wanted

te amo carazon is my favorite such a different look and feel just love it i wish he could of add a funky break in there where 6 hispanic girls dance while he play guitar and shake it like sharika hey but thats when i direct is next video

I love Scandolous that song and the video

Also The One..is so romantic with him and mayte

Just love Get Off, I liked Prince before this but this really was the start of my love for his music.

Thieves in the temple (extended version) my God, my God!

Partyman (very fun and a sharp purple suit), U got the Look (THAT white fluffy jacket, amazingly hot!) and Dirty Mind (hands in the pocket, jumping from side-to-side dance at the start) are my favourites!

I dont consider Prince a great video-maker, many of his video's show lack of budget, or offer too much clichés, but he has at least made a handfull of classic video's.

My favourite ones:

When doves cry: very 'eighties' in retrospect, but the mix of film-images and studio sequences with the revolution somehow 'works'.

Raspberry Beret: colourfull, playfull retro-psychedelica that really suits the sound and arrangement of the song.

Kiss: iconic in its simplicity, a strong mix of nice choreography and playfull humor.

Girls and Boys: the black-and-white images, the french party-atmosphere, the costumes the people are wearing, combined with some quirky, offbeat Princian humor work splendidly.

Sign of the Times: might look boring and dated nowadays, but in 1987 that was a revolutionary video in terms of the format: focussing purely on the lyrics to emphasise the words of the song.

I could never take the place of your man: shows were Prince is often at his best, at the stage, performing live. The arrangement is so much better then that of the album version, and the energy and joy is clearly visible and audible.

Batdance / Partyman: both video's are obviously produced with a suitable budget, and the mixture of cartoon-like personages and (dark) humor really suits the songs and lyrics.

Get Off: so obviously 'over the top' when it comes to the use of caligula-like images, that its obviously Prince is putting his tongue firmly in his cheek while he is fooling around with his orgy-fantasies.

I'm gonna go with Violet the Organ Grinder and Glam Slam

Let's Go Crazy, but that's kind of a ringer, since it's more of a movie clip than a video.

And doing one of his most exciting songs at the most exciting time of his career, directed by a professional...

I absolutely love "AMERICA" He's sooooo playful & sexy and I love watching him play the drums and "I WANNA BE YOUR LOVER" for sentimental reasons.
