1. When Doves Cry

2. Kiss

3. Cream

4. 7

5. Diamonds & Pearls

I was just thinking that there should be a thread about this...

My top 5

1. Adore -- great lyrics, his best vocal performance, amazing song, first dance at my wedding

2. The Beautiful Ones -- passionate vocal delivery, builds nicely, awesome last 2 minutes or so

3. DMSR - funk monster, fun playful lyrics with the Vanity 6, The Time, and Jamie Starr references

4. 1999/Little Red Corvette -- yes, 2 different songs, but there linked in my mind by the videos and they were my first intro to prince, great contributions from the band even if they were small

5. Lovesexy -- outrageous layering of instruments and voices, great energy, cool positive lyrics

1) Electric Intercourse

And in no particular order (Subject 2 Change):

- The Beautiful Ones [Long Version]

- Computer Blue [7:29 Version]

- Positivity

- Forever In My Life (Either the SOTT Movie version or the 4 Those Of U On Valium version)
