What Are The 15 Greatest Prince Songs of All Time?

One of the most prolific legends of the last 30 Years. This man right here goes by many names: Prince, The Purple One, The Kid... Hell, he even went by a symbol for a certain amount of time. Just call him Prince. This man can do it all, from performing live, to producing new tracks for himself and others, to playing every instrument on his albums. What else is there left to say except that the man is a genius. Whatever mood you’re in, whether it’s time to party or time to get close to that special someone, Prince has music for that occasion. So, without further ado, here’s my list for Prince’s 15 Greatest Songs of All Time (in no particular order of course).

1. Let’s Go Crazy (The version played in Purple Rain)

2. Do Me Baby

3. Adore

4. Darling Nikki

5. Little Red Corvette

6. Raspberry Beret

7. 1999

8. The Most Beautiful Girl In The World

9. When Doves Cry

10. Purple Rain

11. The Beautiful Ones

12. Gett Off

13. Black Sweat

14. Kiss

16. Call My Name

What’s your list looking like?

So far I like your list the best!!!

switters said:

While I don't agree with all your choices, great list idea. A lot of those songs are great but it's the repeated playing of them by everybody else that makes them sickening.

I think my list of this nature would number in the dozens, all songs being post-Sign O' The Times.

Right now whit no particular order, mine is: superfunkycalifragisexy, controversey, sexuality, lets work, when doves cry,the beautifull ones, head, automatic (live version from83)
DMSR (also live from83), erotic city, 1999, 17 days, Partyman ( the only song i really like from Batman), Kiss, shes allways in my hair ( i think, i never seem to be in the right mood for this song, but its growing on me)
I probably change my mind next week, this is only my thoughts at the moment.

1. The Beautiful Ones
2. Call My Name
3. I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man
4. Raspberry Beret
5. If I Was Your Girlfriend
6. I Wanna Be Your Lover
7. Gett Off
8. When Doves Cry
9. Sign O' The Times
10. Black Sweat
11. Kiss
12. And God Created Woman
13. Crazy You
14. Purple Rain
15. Adore
