i am creating 2 prince albums for a mate.... I am creating two prince albums for a mate. As he puts it, 'i want one of his classic 80's stuff then a different one of later music of your choice.'
So with terms to the 80's music i have come up with all the hits. And we all know what they are i have chucked in a couple of B-sides too. Like Erotic City and She's always in my hair. But when it comes to 92 onwards i want to make sure i get a good mix. So i obviously own and have all the songs from then on now but would like to know your opinions on say a track listing charting his highest of the highs from 92 to the present day. What do you all think? | |

These lists always take a little while to compose, I do them on paper first...I'll get back 2 ya.
I always appreciate the DJ in a person. Not the music theif though. "The Lion Sleeps Tonight... | |

well thats a pretty long period to cover in one cd 16 prince years is a lot of music
personally i would hav extended the hits cd to include everything up 2 the most beautiful girl in the world. he had quite a few big hits in the 91-94 period. 7, My name is Prince, Sexy MF and TMBGITW were all top tens. On the 2nd cd i would include Endorphinmachine Dolphin Somebodys Somebody The Holy River Dont Play Me Interactive Come On The One Beautiful Strange Prettyman The Everlasting Now Last December Musicology Call my Name Cinnamon Girl 3121 Te amo corazon Black Sweat Planet Earth Chelsea Rodgers Im just touching on the obvious stuff.. their is shit loads more so you might need to make it a 3 or 4 album set lol. | |

yeah i mean it always give me such a headache trying to knock together a short prince list i mean on my ipod i have a ridiculous amount of prince songs. But transferring my favourites to CD is different to others. And you are right about the amount of hits and great songs he has had. If this for like Michael Jackson you could fit all the songs on 1 CD easily. But with prince there is so much and so much variety its very difficult.
I am trying to get to go through all different styles and everything. I want a complete strong set for him to have. | |

I didn't even look at "Emancipation," because I love all of those songs, and the same with, "The Rainbow Children."
Here's a quick list...might as well just buy your mate all of Prince's records. Love 2 the 9's The morning Papers I wanna melt with U Blue Light Damn U Space Pheromone Dark Letitgo She Spoke 2 Me 5 Women When the lights go down Extraordinary Trust I like it there Zannalee Right the Wrong Same December Daddy Pop Strollin' Willing and Able Live 4 Love Push Money Don't Matter Insatiable Musicology Call My Name The Marrykind Cinnamon Girl Reflection Black Sweat Te Amo Corazon Love Satisfied Incense and Candles Somewhere Here On Earth Mr. Goodnight All the Midnights Resolution. I'm probably missing a dozen as well... "The Lion Sleeps Tonight... | |

I wouldn't bother with a post-93 singles collection, the best stuff certainly isn't represented there.
My take on a post-'93 15 track best of: 1. Interactive 2. Endorphinmachine 3. I Like It There 4. Calhoun Square 5. Papa 6. All The Midnights In The World 7. New World 8. 319 9. Dreamin' About U 10. Come On 11. Chealsea Rodgers 12. She Loves Me 4 Me 13. Empty Room (C-Note Version) 14. The Everlasting Now 15. Young & Beautiful | |

With Prince, it's all about variety , so my picks below doesn't necessarily represent a mix of my favorite post-92 music, but stuff I think would work for the specific purposes of your thread.
1. Interactive 2. Endorphine Machine 3. shhhh 4. 1+1+1=3 5. The One 6. I like it There 7. Pretty Man 8. The Greatest Romance... 9. The Holy River 10. New World 12. Loose 13. F.U.N.K | |

Collection with 20 great songs from 1992-2007 with two factors in mind. That they might have wide appeal and that I like them even though all are not my absolute favorites. The kind of collection I would give to a curious friend.
Sexy Mother Fucker (edgy, original) Damn U (sophisticated, elegant) Space (seductive, original) The Most Beautiful Girl In The World (major hit, beautiful) I Hate U (hit, great melody and original last part) The Same December (catchy rock) Jam Of The Year (great party song, infectious) Face Down (funky rap) The Love We Make (among strongest 90s ballads) Acknowledge Me (funky, great rap segment) Good Love (one of his strongest party songs ever) She Gave Her Angels (sophisticated, smooth, romantic) The Other Side Of The Pillow (great acoustic guitar song) So Far, So Pleased (simple yet effective rock) She Loves Me 4 Me (original, romantic) Reflection (beautiful, heartfelt) Lolita (really funky) Black Sweat (edgy, original, fresh-sounding Prince) The One U Wanna C (simple yet effective rock) Future Baby Mama (sophisticated, smooth) | |
