Am putting together a playlist of slow ballads by Prince - early stuff right through to present day so as to be a really chilled collections of songs. I have all of teh released stuff and quite a bit of unreleased stuff as well

There so many albums though and tbh when I look at the track titles I dont always remember which they are - shame on me ! (probably dementia setting in as well lol)

Short of playing every single song as I go I am bound to miss some really brilliant ones. Also as I have so much stuff it would take a loooong time!

Someone else must have done this before? Has anyone got an easy to cut/paste list of the track titles or a link to one?

Many thanks

That one takes a hard left turn though and gets un-laidback, real fast .

All of these are great picks (your other picks weren't bad either, just not as strong as these).

I'd also add all of the One Nite Alone... album (especially the title track, plus the ones Gemeni mentioned). If you do instrumental music, all of Xpectation would work, too.

+The slow songs on Prince (When We're Dancing Close and Slow, With You, It's Gonna Be Lonely).

Plus, I don't know if you're looking just for love songs/sex songs, or anything calm and relaxing, but these are some of my favorite relaxing or "chilled" Prince songs:

Muse 2 The Pharoah

Mellow

Strollin'

Beautiful Strange

Come On (uptemo, but still works)

Madrid 2 Chicago

Breathe

She Gave Her Angels (guitar solo @ the end might ruin it)

Golden Parachute!

There are so many ! The thing that surprised me when I started thinking about this is there are some absolutely awesome ballads that its so easy to miss and forget - all of the ones on your lists are excellent - I want to get them all on a list though or spend a day going through them all manually!

'Count the Days' - is a good example of a simply awesome track its easy to forget!
