- All singles are album versions and not edits.

.

Top 10 from myTop 10 list, next 10, are amongst the next 10 supreme Prince songs I could think of. At least 50 more songs would make the cut. It is hard to think of any high number of top songs, and everything outside the Top 5 is pretty much not ranked.

.

And Damn U (Forgot to add it), Joy in Repetition, Still would stand all time and Cream.

Nope, you couldn't even contain yourself to the TOP 50. You had to include #51 . I understand completely. I still feel guilty for the scores of songs I didn't include in my top 20. At least you can sleep at night .
