You're onboard a luxury cruiser, enjoying the hot summer breeze and curvy girls in bikinis/muscular guys in speedos. Suddenly the weather changes and the ship is wrecked by a vicious storm. You're the only one that manages to get into a lifeboat and the only one to reach an uninhabited tropical island. You're gonna spend the next 44 years alone on this island. If for some odd reason you manage to save seven Prince songs, a CD player, portable speakers and enough batteries, which seven Prince songs would you want?

Seven songs? Did you pull that number out of your ass? Yes I did, so deal with it.

Moonbeam Levels
Computer Blue (full version)
DMSR
Gold
All My Dreams
Endorphinmachine
Purple Medley (full version)

play
pink cashmere
underneath the cream
electric intercours

Take me with You is all I'd want to hear... so I could get the hell outta there!

But also... maybeeeee.....

It's Gonna Be Lonely
Solo
Somebody's Somebody
Paisley Park
Tamborine
Eye Know

... yeah... those songs would be perfect.

7 "big" songs for me :

When Doves Cry
Kiss (Extended)
Alphabet St.
If I Was Your Girlfriend
D.M.S.R.
Thieves In The Temple (Extended)
Purple Rain

(IF I could/ should choose 1 whole album... then probably Lovesexy.)
