If you had to compile Prince songs for a group of teens today- which ones would you use to ensure they listened to the whole CD without skipping tracks?

I am honestly trying to figure out that question myself so that I can get my friends to listen to him

"The Rainbow Children." would probably interest teens...maybe male's more than girls...and anything kind of fast...several songs from Chaos and Disorder...
and Emancipation... I would probably leave the slower stuff for when they get to know Prince music.

It really depends what kind of music they're in to. RnB? Rock? Pop?

"Teenagers" is just too much of a generalisation.

Hmm.. I'm a teenager so I'd be able to do this.

I've got my friends into Prince by the following tracks..

I Wanna Be Your Lover
Kiss
Incense & Candles
TMBGITW
Future Baby Mama
Hot Thing
Little Red Corvette
Black Sweat
Diamonds & Pearls
Purple Rain
U Got The Look
Darling Nikki
If I Was Your Girlfriend

Cool. I'll see if I can get my friends interested with the songs you used.
Thanks!

i'm 18 and pretty picky about what i listen too, so i'd suggest 1999 (the entire album!) even if whoever is listening to it doesn't appreciate how great a piece of art it is and what it's done for music today, they'll think its funny and enjoy it to some degree.
