How can you not mention 'Kiss' ?!?! Its not just Prince's best video, its the best pop video ever made. Definitely the best performance video by any artist or band at the very least. | |

IMO musicvideo's aren't his strongest virtue, but there are some gems among them:
When doves cry: a first step-up from the simple 'live-performances recorded in the studio' that were the video's for the singles from Controversy and 1999.
Raspberry Beret: colourfull, whimsical, definitely suiting the tune.
America: in its form its 'just' a recorded live-perfomance, but one with such energy and joyfullness (so the video itself owes a lot to the musical performance).
Kiss: simple but effective. Stylish and also rather timeless in it's stripped down delivery and choreography.
Girls and Boys: great black-and-white photography. The 1920's french club environment really suits the song.
Sign of the Times: It seems many people don't like this video now, but for its time it was groundbreaking. And the emphasis on the lyrics, focus on what this song is about. The sober use of graphics also 'echoes' the skeletal structure of the music.
I could never take the place of your man: see 'America'.
Batdance / partyman: it seems Prince did use a bigger budget then usually, and this time its pays off. Cartoonesque with a bit of dark humour thrown in.
Cream: slick, polished, but with a solid execution.
Musicology: again a bigger budget is paying off. I don't really like the tap-dancing overdubs, but otherwise this video has a great retro-vibe.
Cinnamon girl: original in its art-direction / style, shame he did use such a lousy song for it.

Controversy 1981 and Gold 1995,
And all those Prince music videos in between.
what came before and after wasn't good.
(Ok, The One, Musicology and Black Sweat are actually great as well.) Prince 4Ever. | |

Kiss my favorite video of all time. Great song and the video matches the playfulness of the song and Prince. Combined with the sexiness of the simplisitic dance and expert lighting.

I love Mountains too. The effects are bad, but I love Prince's outfit. The big hat is adorable. I also love Dirty Mind, Raspberry Beret, U Got The Look and that one where Prince is dressed up as an old guy, from the late 90s, I forgot the name of it. | |

I tend to like his blue-screeny videos the most, for some reason. I should also add that U Got the Look is absolutely flawless. | |
