5 Most Diverse Songs

If you had to make a playlist of 5 songs, to demonstrate to a Prince neophyte his diversity as a composer, what would you include? ONLY 5!

Consider genre, vocal performance (low, sped-up, spoken, falsetto, etc), arrangement (piano and voice, whole orchestra, rock power trio, etc), and tempo.

Off the top of my head, I'd nominate:

1. Undisputed (Moneyapolis mix)
2. Endorphinmachine
3. Scandalous
4. Cutz
5. Venus De Milo
Take it - like Clarence said:

all different U know."

IIRC, it's basically an instrumental mostly comprised of the sound of scissors.

Yes, it's from Kamasutra, one of the Crystal Ball bonus discs.

I get the feeling you're kinda having a dig at the 'novelty' tracks, but that list still works! Such is the genius of P! You couldn't even fit Song of the Heart.

The trippy part about it is you can almost randomly pick a Prince album and create a list like this. He's definitely all over the place musically and excels in most areas.

This is something I think about quite often. Great idea for a thread. Too bad it won't get many responses 'cause the topic doesn't lend itself to all of the whiny ass bitches getting the opportunity to trash Prince and his current output, but I digress.

Anyhow, here's my 5.

1. Sometimes It Snows In April
2. Pussy Control
3. Dreamer
4. Arboretum
5. Erotic City
If you're not doing the fucking, then you're taking one.

Yeah, that's how I feel about most of the threads I start.

Great song choices, btw.
