Hey everyone,

I was listening to the Biloxi 2004 performance last night, and realized that I wish Prince would do a completely acoustic album.

My playlist for the moment would be:

(1) Forever in my Life
(2) Don't Play Me
(3) Strange Relationship
(4) Adore
(5) On the Couch
(6) Eye Hate U
(7) Shy
(8) Here
(9) Cream
(10) I Feel For U

If you could pick 10 songs for an acoustic album, which ones would you pick?

I would really love to hear an acoustic set in a Prince concert. There are certain songs of his I'd love to hear that way, so I'll pick ten that I would love to hear live acoustically and then presented as a live acoustic album.

1. Right Back Here in My Arms
2. I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man
3. I Wanna Be Your Lover
4. I Would Die 4 U
5. Sometimes It Snows in April
6. Space
7. Private Joy
8. Can't Stop This Feeling I Got
9. Thieves in the Temple
10. Pink Cashmere

I like the responses so far. Would love to hear it.

My choices would probably be:

1. Cream
2. La, la, la, he, he, hee
3. Sometimes it snows in April
4. Little red corvette
5. I could never take the place of your man
6. Purple Rain
7. Erotic City (it would be interesting to hear it acoustic)
8. Kiss
9. Pretty Wings (I know it's not Prince's song, but I think he would do an amazing jobe with the song)
10. I would die 4 u

=)

Cream
When U Were Mine
Sometimes it Snows in April
And God Created Woman
Strange Relationship

nice selection

I would love to hear these songs accoustic

1. No More Candy 4 U
2. Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad
3. Let's Go Crazy
4. Uptown
5. U Got The Look
6. Beautiful, Loved & Blessed
7. Lady Cab Driver
8. Free
9. Just As Long As We're Together
10. Adore

That's a very tough one because Prince is an excellent acoustic performer.



If I had to pick, and this is only an off-the-top of my head type of thing that could change from day to day, I'd say:




1. Fury
2. All The Midnights in the World
3. I wish U heaven
4. Manic Monday
5. Love Bizarre
6. Little Red Corvette
7. When Doves Cry
8. The Most Beautiful Girl in The World
9. Big White Mansion
10. Crimson & Clover (pure like the original--not with missing parts and Wild Thing mixed in)

Great playlists everyone

when doves cry
mountains
i wish u heaven
i wanna be your lover

a place in heaven
desire
question of u
the love we make

My Love is Forever
Get Blue
Slow Love
The Truth
The Ride
Reflection
On the Couch

I think almost every Prince song is interesting to hear in an acoustic version.

conclusion: I can't choose.

It's Gonna Be Lonely
Private Joy
When You Were Mine
Strange Relationship
Letitgo
Paisley Park
Shy
Pop Life
