Both fantastic songs.

Actually, the entire 3121 album is fantastic.

feeluupp	Besides The Word, Fury, Sticky Like Glue are there any other tracks you feel are great since 2000. Another two of my favorites that have actually grown on me are U Know and Anotherlove.

PurpleSkipper5 8	Some good mentions. But "The Everlasting Now" is like THE best thing ever. I wish he'd bring it back in the set, the song is in fact everlasting. ”The people that will end up defining ‘Hate Speech Laws’ are the very people you don’t want to define the Hate Speech Laws” — Jordan B Peterson

Yes I agree, The Everlasting Now is standing out, (in the good way),

What about this beauty: Beautiful Strange (isn't this from 2001?)

Edit - also: Future Baby Mama this is a personal favorite of mine, such a good song imo (I take this song over Somewhere Here On Earth)

Thanks!

Adding this list together, it's crazy how good a compilation like this could be. Sure, it wouldn't rival The Hits. But it would still kick ass.

You've inspired me. I'm going to make a playlist of 15 songs from the last 15 years. I think it will rival his 80's stuff since TRC is my favorite Prince album.

It's funny, I was thinking that same shit earlier. Yes, on one hand we're collaring a 15-year block to a 10-year block. But still...the 90's compilation might be weaker than the later compilation.

What do you think are Prince's best songs of the last 15 years: 2000-2015.

Does it matter?

He won't play most of them.

Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill... If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry.

Surprise, noone -including myself- is mentioning the Musicology title track..?

One of his best songs the past 15 years imo.

The live tv-performance at Jay Leno was really fantastic.. woot!

Maybe Musicology - the song is a little "formulaic" on the album, but it comes alive when played in concert. music
