Your TOP 15 Prince funkiest songs

Please make a list of your TOP 15 (or more, even much more, if you whish) P funkiest songs/tracks, Nr 1 is the one you prefer. (You can pick, if desired, tracks from boots too).

(This week-end I have a dinner at home with few purple profanes and, as always, as background music there will be P; but this time I want to preach the purple gospel only in a pure funky way and I can't make my mind up. Thank you for your help biggrin )

It's rather clean. There are several different versions of it from different sources and some have been tampered digitally by the bootleggers (or by the fans). The problem with this so-called "remastering" is that it often works against the groove of the tracks. It's not good for funk.


The best version I have is the one that doesn't seem to have the vocals mixed properly. So it's still a demo version, essentially, but it sounds great. Near CD quality, I'd dare to say. I don't think the versions available on the "newly leaked boots" have the same "feel" intact.

The lists that have already been posted are pretty good. I have one song that pops quickly into mind. If you can get your hands on it please make sure to include the song Daisy-chain. It's off the unreleased High album. It's super funky! You and your guests will be very happy with that one along with the others already posted. Put it on the trax list!
