mix tape... My friend downloaded her first purple tune, when doves cry, and has had it on repeat since. Am gonna make her a mix tape (not quite a tape more like a cd). What would you include? | |

Save yourself a lot of time and energy and just burn her a copy of The Hits/The B-Sides, then you can devote the time it would have taken to make her a mix cd by watching donkey porn or whatever it is you do of a day.

I would do the Hits/B-sides as well as a few of the NPGMC Ahdio shows. Some of my favorite Ahdio shows:

/ Outro ("Judas Kiss" by Prince).We did a series of polls recently to rank the best Prince songs in the opinion of the org. In alphabetical order, these are the ones that made the top of the final poll:
1999 A Love Bizarre Adore Anna Stesia Computer Blue Controversy Crystal Ball Do Me, Baby Erotic City Forever In My Life Girls And Boys Head I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man I Wanna Be Your Lover If I Was Your Girlfriend Joy In Repetition Kiss Let's Go Crazy Little Red Corvette Mountains Purple Rain Raspberry Beret She's Always In My Hair Sign O' The Times The Ballad Of Dorothy Parker The Beautiful Ones When Doves Cry

I would say that's a pretty good start for a new fan. Of course, you'd want to order the songs in a way that flowed well.

my vote was cast in a number of those! i enjoyed them. interesting that nothing post 88 made the ultimate list though.... plus as much as i enjoy donkey porn the hits/b sides was issued near on 20 years ago - we've had looooads since! | |

Very true, but you don't want to scare the person away. If they are just getting into Prince, a great introduction is either The Hits/B-sides or The Ultimate. They cover his biggest hits as well as a few obscure trax that are loved by his die-hards. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

I suspect the reason is that, although many fans like some of Prince's post-1980s work, we don't agree as much on which post-1980s songs and albums we like. For example, some love The Rainbow Children and some hate it. Some love Lotusflow3r and some hardly listen to it. On the other hand, most of us agree on which of his 1980s songs are the best. In a Condorcet poll, the consensus choices will move to the top. The Census Bureau estimates that there are 2,518 American Indians and Alaska Natives currently living in the city of Long Beach. | |
