BoySimon

I'm Yours

Still Waiting

Head

Annie Christian

Automatic

Hmmmmm..... Let's Go Crazy could have been bigger in Britain

Paisley Park/America

Mountains

It could've/should've been HUGE

Glam Slam - oh my lord it's marvless

Vicki Waiting

Nothing from GB... oh, possibly Elephants and Flowers

Daddy Pop

I Wanna Melt With U

Space could've/should've been BIG

Sssh... it's a song only Prince, in his time, could have written... if you sort of know what I mean.

Nothing beyond?

I would have loved a wider audience to have heard What's My Name or half the stuff on Chocolate Invasion and Slaughterhouse.... I think The One could have been bigger...likewise Wasted Kisses.

I'll stop now... afore I get all maudlin.

Interesting Picks. I was only talking about the part of his carrear when he was regularly making hits on the radio. Ofcourse i like quite alot of stuff even after TGE, and yes he could have had a few hits even after TGE if he was signed to a major label.

It may seem wrong, but I truly believe 1990 should be left to rest in peace.

Graffiti Bridge is all the wrong reasons... and creates a gaping hole in the Prince repetoire... It should be acknowledged, passed over and forgotten... even though it might suggest some of the fonkiest chunes Prince has ever recorded. ... his career needs that gap.

Probably because Joy in Rep was recorded/created during the Lovesexy era it has the magic on it, same wit Pink Cashmere

But that don't compute when it comes 2 Y-O-U.

yup, pink cashmere and crucial (especially the bootleg version) are both excellent ballads that should have ended up on one of his 90's albums, but sadly didnt.
