Prince's songs of the 00's that would make it into your top 50 Regarding Prince's albums, I think the only one of the 00's that can compete with his best material of the 80's is The Rainbow Children.
But what about songs? Don't you think there are some brilliant tunes in the recent albums?
My question is: which songs published in the 00's have the quality to compete with the best tunes Prince wrote in the 80's? I've thought that including them in your potential Top 50 would be enough...
My answer: Black Sweat, Lion Of Judah and Colonized Mind. I'd have doubts with other songs, but I'm sure with the three mentioned. | |

Interesting topic... I'd have thought there would be many, but I just can't think of all that much!

I like these three a lot too. Last December could even make it into my 50 faves. | |

Well, without actually taking the time to make a top 50 list, these would definitely make it:
(Listed chronologically)
Maybe a few others. But I wouldn't say these compete with Prince's 80s material. I don't think it's comparable. These songs sound so drastically different from "If I Was Ur Girlfriend" and "When You Were Mine", etc.... | |

Dreamer Illusion, Coma, Pimp & Circumstance Boom Wall of Berlim Cinnamon Girl The Word Beginning Endlessly Fury Lion of Judah (the only good thing of Planet Earth) Musicology
People says that prince post '00 is shit. Musicology, 3121 and LO7USFL0W3R are fantastic albums, like his '80 material. The worst Prince era was from Emancipation to N.E.W.S. | |

Guitar I know it's nothing special. It's nothing more than an excuse for Prince to play guitar, but that's exactly the fun of it.  | |

Considering that Prince's catalog is so vast and that I love so much from it, I will limit myself to 7 songs from the decade you asked about, though I do have a few more.
Colonized Mind The Marrying Kind A Million Days Somewhere Here on Earth 3121 Sticky Like Glue Last December
Honorable mentions:
Black Sweat Muse 2 the Pharoah Future Baby Mama Reflection When Eye Lay My Hands On You Back 2 the Lotus Future Soul Song

I agree that Prince has had some fantastic stuff since the '80s. I am always shocked at how dismissive some of his "fans" are when it comes to his later work. Even the era you cited as his worst had some great songs in there. At the end of the day, I guess it is all subjective. perfection is a fallacy of the imagination... | |

I agree with those who have mentioned Somewhere Here On Earth. It's among his best ballads.
In my opinion, an album that contains this tune plus Lion Of Judah and Chelsea Rodgers can't be that bad... | |

Most definitely. Real music from a Real Musician that doesn't sound like everyone else's music, that's the difference. | |
