i've edited my original post to show my pick of 50 tracks, which is in no way definitive, and i did it from memory. i originally went through the albums at home and reach 50 tracks by the time i got to the start of the 90s, even though i was only picking a few from each album, and then i ended up at over 100 tracks and couldn't figure out how to cut them down, so i redid it from memory, ended up with too many again so i took out some tracks, mostly well known hits
i posted in alphanumeric order like a good trainspotter should! | |

Actually I'd probably replace Do Me Baby because of its origins but the vocal performance is too good to ignore. Thanx for saving me the job of compiling my own. lol Thanx for adding Open Book and MoonBeam Levels, Reading other lists, man there are songs I'd like to add to this list like Morning Papers, Sometimes It Snows in April, Still Would Stand All Time, and Mountains for starters. 50 really isn't enough . . .

No matter what 50 you choose, every list should contain the songs that made Prince's career not be a one hit wonder.
Top 5... then whatever 1. Soft and Wet 2. I Wanna Be Your Lover 3. Do, Me Baby 4. Controversy 5. Let's Work (The "Dirty Mind" LP received no airplay because it was too raunchy or not "black" enough for radio. It was "Little Red Corvette" that made Prince a crossover artist.) | |

Every list should contain what someone chooses. There is no right or wrong. Nor is there a Prince song rosary. It's galling for you to think you need to dictate when the topic is subjective. Top 5... then whatever 1. Soft and Wet 2. I Wanna Be Your Lover 3. Do, Me Baby 4. Controversy 5. Let's Work (The "Dirty Mind" LP received no airplay because it was too raunchy or not "black" enough for radio. It was "Little Red Corvette" that made Prince a crossover artist.) Dirty Mind made Prince a crossover artist. It got little airplay but massive critical acclaim. Prince was not a secret after this album was released. 1999 hit the Top 50 before Little Red Corvette. We may just agree to disagree. [Edited 5/12/08 20:53pm] I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think. |
