My boss asked my to introduce him to Prince Music. So I told him I’ll burn a compilation for him with the best stuff, I’ve tried to think about my favourite songs from each cd Prince has released and it’s hard because I find good stuff everywhere.

Here’s the first list I’ve made.

1. Fou you (its nice to start with that one)
2. I wanna be your lover
3. When you where mine
4. Do me baby
5. Bambi
6. Something in the water (does not compute)
7. Condition of the heart
8. She’s always in my hair
9. Girls & Boys
10. Do U lie
11. The ballad of Dorothy Parker
12. If I was your girlfriend
13. Superfunkycalifragisexy
14. Dead on it
15. I wish U Heaven
16. When 2 R in love
17. Partyman
18. I love U in me
19. We can funk
20. Joy in repetition
21. Money don’t matters 2night
22. Damn U
23. Nothing compares 2U
24. Return of the Bump Squad
25. Shhh (live)
26. Dolphin
27. Dreaming about U
28. Don’t play me
29. Acknowledge Me
30. 5 women
31. The greatest romance ever sold
32. Supercute
33. The sensual everafter
34. A case of you
35. Avalanche (One Night Alone Live)
36. Days of wild (ONAL)
37. Xenophobia (ONAL)

I don’t want to make it too greatest hits. I’d like him to see plurality of Prince’s music. What do you think? If anybody finds something’s missing feel please tell me. I’m having fun with this thing. I’ve been listening back to back all my cds for a week, and I always find something new to incorporate.

ThanX

I think, if your boss doesn't know nothing or very little about Prince,you should do something like a Prince compilation version of the "1" from The Beatles or the "30#1 Hits" from Elvis.

This is definitely the best way to go. Or tell him to buy The Very Best Of. If he likes this stuff he will want to dig deeper and then you can hit him with all the fan favourites!

But the thing is he already knows Prince hits. I thought it wolud be nice to show him other stuff.

Leaving hits apart. What songs would you pick to give him a taste of everything Prince can do.

Peace.

Buy him copies of TRC, Lovesexy and SOTT..that's a good variety right there...

insist on a raise in salary after you do that for him. :lol

fuck both Lovesexy and TRC...those are both for Prince hardcores...like me!

tell him to buy Purple Rain (or 1999 if he already has PR), SOTT, & The Gold Experience (or burn Gold for him since its hard to find). I actually burned these for a friend of mine a few years back and he is now a full fledged Prince fanatic.

If he likes those he'll start goin in deeper on his own. TRC and Lovesexy and a lot of those tunes you listed might scare him off.

Heres a selection songs i think would make a really good companion to the best of...stuff he may have heard and some he wont.

Bambi
Dirty Mind
When U Were Mine
Lets Pretend We're Married
Computer Blue
Pop Life
Paisley Park
Mountains
Anotherlover...
Housequake
Forever In My Life
Strange Relationship
The Cross
Anna Stesia
I Wish U Heaven
The Continental
Shy
Gold
Dinner With Delores
Chaos And Disorder
The Love We Make
The Sun Moon And Stars
Baby Knows
Family Name

Make sure he hears Erotic City, if that doesn't convert him, nothing will... That song totally blew me away when I first heard it...

Marrk you are right about the raise salary. There should be a Prince song talking about that... Oh I got it! When will we B paid? :lol That’s a good one to start.

Thank you everyone for the suggestions. Somebody said housequake, that’s a must and I’ve forgotten it. I’ll burn the cd this weekend, so more suggestions are welcomed.

Peace.
