So, I've put together a Prince-compilation, what do you guys think?

15 songs to play at home and in my car. This is what I look forward to listening to right now and I've made careful considerations about my selections and the sequencing of the songs.

Controversy
America
D.M.S.R.
I Love U In Me
When The Lights Go Down
319
Face Down
The Ballad Of Dorothy Parker
And God Created Woman
$
Hide The Bone
Come On
When 2 R In Love
I Like It There
Reflection

Why was it considered carefully and why such tracks?

I guess if one compiles mostly obvious hit songs then most will like it, but if one selects from the rest of his enormous back catalog it's much harder to get approval. The great thing about Prince is that there's something for everyone!

I wanted to think hard and make sure I include the ones I really want to listen to right now. What I wanted to listen to a month ago is not the same as now.

My reasoning behind the selections was to include some classics that I never grow tired of like Controversy and The Ballad Of Dorothy Parker. I wanted some songs that I really like but just haven't gotten around to listening to in a long time like I Love U In Me (should've been a top 10 hit) and And God Created Woman. I made sure to mix profound songs like When 2 R In Love with carnal songs like D.M.S.R. I think that's the Lovesexy way!

I also wanted a party-ish up tempo start with three songs, to get the juices flowing, and then alter with two slower ones and then two faster ones. Finally, I wanted a calm, sophisticated ending, Reflection fit perfectly.
