Okay heres the thing,

I want to have a good selection of Prince music at my bash but dont want to alienate all the peeps coming who dont really listen to him or even like his stuff - i know, why do have friends like that??? -

anyhows, I find some if not a lot of his music HAS to be listened to in that I cant stand other noise around at the time its playin.

So what tracks would be good for the start like background music and then i can play the more funky dance stuff later?

any ideas gratefully accepted so far i have in my playlist:

2morrow and da bang

only cos I was listening to crystal ball today.

Some intrumentals would suffice. Like "Alexa De Paris", "Venus De Milo" Maybe something from NEWS. Good Luck.

The N.E.W.S. is a possibility...Get Loose! is a must.

venus de milo is too hotel lobby for me, very lovely but not for a party

What about some of the longer jams off Rainbow Children like Everlasting Now (or live version off ONA)? Quite a lot of it is the band just being funky, not overly 'princey' (ie. no screaming!!!)
