List Your Favorite Five

Okay, I know these threads come a dime a dozen, but I haven't seen one in a while. What are your top five Prince songs of all time (yes I said five; I had to trim the fat too). These are the songs you would never want to be without. Mine are:

1. Adore
2. Purple Rain
3. When Doves Cry
4. Controversy
5. Anotherloverholenyohead

If I Was Your Girlfriend

Do Me Baby

17 Days

When Doves Cry

Adore/Private Joy- I'm doing it as a neck and neck thing because the second song always makes me happy, and want to dance.

There really are so many of them that are great. It's hard to choose just five, but those are the ones that come to my mind that I wouldn't go without listening to. wink

Ok, I'll play along, for right now, although there are much more than 5 that are my favorites:

1. Question of U - (Without a doubt, has an awesome sound - love the

instrumentation)

2. Joy in Repetition (smooth/mysterious sound)

3. Little Red Corvette - (the slowed-down version) - very cool

4. Dreamer (love the socio-political tone/message)

5. Sea of Everything (cool ballad with a Smokey Robinson flavor)

Funny! I debated between Forever in My Life and Controversy, but Controversy really embodies everything that made Prince's sound in the early 80s, so I went with that one. But, Forever in My Life would be my #6!

I know! Your top two are still a part of my top 10. It is so great that we are blessed with an artist that has made it just about impossible to narrow down our fovorites to a list of five. If I could expand, I would include:

When Eye Lay My Hands on U

Beautiful Strange

Future Soul Song (this song seriously rivals his 80s material it is so great)

The entire Parade album

Anna Stesia

Uh-oh, I'm breaking my own rules...

I don't know what it is about Condition of the Heart but I love everything about it - so much so that if you had asked for only one song, it would only have taken me only a minute to decide on Condition of the Heart versus the half an hour it took me to narrow my entire list of favorites down to five songs. lol!
