Alright, it's our turn to create a true, unblemished BEST OF PRINCE.

Choose 12 SONGS that best exemplify how Prince was an absolute genius above all others. You don't have to pick hit singles or well-known songs. You can "go into the Vault", if need be...or pick something random off of a not-well-known album. Extended jams are okay, too.

Here is mine:

1. Erotic City (Make Love Not War Extended Version)

2. Little Red Corvete (Extended Version)

3. Head

3. Do Me, Baby

5. The Beautiful Ones

6. Computer Blue (Hallway Version)

7. Mountains

8. The Ballad of Dorothy Parker

9. I Hate U

10. If I Was Your Girlfriend

11. God

12. Sign Of The Times

I'll play along and limit myself to 12, with no more than 1 song from any given album. In chronological order:

1 "I'm Yours," For You (1978)

2 "When You Were Mine," Dirty Mind (1980)

3 "Private Joy," Controversy (1981)

4 "All The Critics Love U In New York," 1999 (1982)

5 "17 Days," -- "When Doves Cry/17 Days," from Purple Rain (1984)

6 "America (12" version)," Around The World In A Day (1985)

7 "Life Can Be So Nice," Parade (1986)

8 "Crystal Ball" (1986)

9 "Adore," Sign O' The Times (1987)

10 " No," LoveSexy, (1988)

11 "Joy In Repetition," Graffiti Bridge (1990)

12 "Shy," The Gold Experience (1995)

I still had over 20 years of music left to choose from.

Just shows you how great he was.
