I'll play--

1) For You (it's just such a perfect album/career opener. There's a reason he kept coming back to it. Other songs are maybe "better"--but it's got to be here.)

2) Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad?

3) When You Were Mine

4) Sexuality

5) Something in the Water (does not compute)

6) When Doves Cry

7) Condition of the Heart

8) Anotherloverholenyohead

9) The Ballad of Dorothy Parker

10) Lovesexy

11) Vicki Waiting

12) Joy in Repetition

All right, that was not fun. Mainly because every time there were no clear standouts. I could make a case for 2 or 3 other songs (at least) from each album. The only time I've really tried to figure out "the essential" Prince, I ended up deciding I'd give myself 1/3 of each album/project as the cream, 1/3 middle range, 1/3 the bottom (relative to the rest of the album, not to the world at large). That was way easier to do, and to feel satisfied with. That let me recognize the greatness of the obvious hit(s) and the Princely weirdness both. If I did this again 10 minutes from now it would be different. For example, I've said before that The Beautiful Ones is my favorite Prince song--it isn't on this list. How did that happen?

2. When We're Dancing Close and Slow

3. Got a Broken Heart Again

4. Sexuality - Do Me, Baby could easily have had this slot

5. Something in the Water - Free could easily have had this slot

6. Let's Go Crazy - still remember that feeling the 1st time in the theather in 1984 following "the afterworld..."

7. Tamborine - another total Prince song

8. New Position

9. If I Was Your Girlfriend

10. LoveSexy

11. Electric Chair

12. Release It

13. Money Don't Matter 2 Night (Need a bonus track, right?)
