From the top of my head, its a tie between:

- All my dreams (unreleased)
- Mia Bocca (the Jill Jones version with Clare Fishers arrangements)
- If I was your girlfriend

But that can change overday... lol

Tonight....it has gotta be Crucial!

I like that one too. I just wish the entire song was like the end part where the beat and the music gets real funky.

Specifically, the 8:45 to 9:00 part.

One of these threads earlier I said Adore..another time I said If I was Your Girlfriend...this time I will say Mountains Xtended Version

If I Was Your Girlfriend
and
Violet the Organ Grinder

Strange But True

Sexuality.

"let your body be free"

I can't.

I have a lot of Top Favorites (of course),
but I would have to say that
If I Was Your Girlfriend
is one of his all time best songs and
could be my number one favorite Prince song.

I'll never forget hearing it for the first time
when SOTT first came out & I was 15, it totally
blew me away

All My Dreams and Power Fantastic stand out to me as being the most inspired of his work.

And Purple Rain as well. I know it's an obvious choice, but it's a classic for a reason.

Couldn't agree with u more. The most expressive song ever. Absolutely, heartfelt masterpiece!!

Funk/Anthem: Days of Wild. P on lead mic with the original NPG backing him. True Minneapolis Funk.

Also, have to put in a vote for: Space (Universal Love Remix). If you love Space and haven't heard this remix, find it now, you'll be blown away.

When Doves Cry

Today it is Computer blue.

It will be something different tomorrow.

i hate to say this but at the moment it's Purple Rain..i've been loving It's Gonna be lonely as well lately...but if i had to say the one that usually tops my list it would be either extra lovable, if i was your girlfriend or private joy...if i answer this same question next week you'd get 5 different songs..sorry but it's too hard of a question
ps. i think when doves cry is pound for pound his greatest song so that might be my fav

How is it possible to list one song?! There are so many and it depends on what mood you are in! Right now, I'm listening to "Crystal Ball" which is a totally different experience than, say, "Strange Relationship," or " Let's Go Crazy," or "Cab Driver"... It really depends on what takes your pleasure in the moment!

Okay, you got me...my favorite Prince song of the moment is "Do Me Baby!" He makes me want to have more!

Now the rain is falling...and the more I listen to "Do Me Baby" the more I start feeling like Tame or MZQueen...but it is a temporary glich--but so lovely--Prince is ripping me a new heart for his music after 15 years! Sing on on, P! Give it to me! 2 Nite!!!

MOUNTAINS!! Best Prince song EVER!

Actually, the "best prince song(s)" topic should be updated at least once a month since ourtastes, choices and moods change with time; therefore, our list would change too...
4 months ago my favorite Prince song was "When You Were Mine"
1 month ago, would play "Do Me Baby" ,24/7
Now I'm stuck on "Mountains" (just watched "Under The Cherry Moon" a few weeks ago and l remember hearing it during the end credits... It's such a huge song!)

My favs: Ronnie, Talk 2 Russia, Sister, Happy Birthday Mr. Christian, Romance 1600, Mia Bocca.

It's almost impossible for me to select just one Prince song as my favorite. There are too many!

Here are some of my favorites songs by him.
