Sad, but true.

I meant Post warners as in the official Warner Brothers collection ending in 1993, leaving the 1994/96 as included on this set. He may have been with Warners at this time, but was constantly scrapping with them and most of the music (Beautiful Girl, TGE, 1-800 New Funk) was originally recorded under the NPG label with Warners only releasing it later.

.

Beautiful Girl was also released on NPG and distributed by Bellmark records, nothing to do with WB. And besides 1999's the Vault and both 2014 albums are WB, so you can't escape it.

If you want a pedantic pedanto exactamundo, call the fxxking thing - Post 1993 songs

TheDance's list makes more sense to me because it is more single-focused. If you're going to consider it a follow-up to the WB Greatest Hits, I think it needs to be mostly singles (so we shouldn't forget Cinnamon Girl). I think otherwise, you have to rethink/redo the entire collection, including the era covered by the WB collection. That said, even though it wasn't a single, I think his duet with Gwen Stefani, "So Far, So Pleased," should be included on any best of post-1994 Prince collection.
