Perhaps you can mix your all-time favourites from each essential genre you've listed, to create one disc?

The jazzy intro doesn't work as well in the context of this album, G.

(By the way, no worries on either count but get working on your personalised disc. Yours will be very interesting indeed!)

Working on it, but your threads are almost painful to answer.

somebody make an alternate Sign o the times sequence with similar flavoured songs from later or before...

In no particular order here is my essential track list...(1)purple Rain (2)Last December (3)Gold (4)Dark (5)Cloreen Bacon Skin(funky jam) (6)How come you dont call me anymore? (7)Dolphin (8)Diamonds and Pearls (9)Betcha bye golly wow (10)Free(the whole thing and not just the live sample from one nite alone (11)The Rainbow Children (12)little red corvette (13)Cream (14)Adore (15)The Beautiful ones (16)Emancipation (17)Kiss (18)The Waiting Room (Feat.No Doubt).I would put more on but Cd's are not that big in size.

Had a hard time trying to figure out this one. Essential? One disc? Sequenced? Hum, typical Anji-style thread

It didn't take long to see this interesting thread disappear... on page 3!!!
Anyway, I felt dissatisfied with the original configuration of this compilation. Three songs seemed for various reasons out of place: Positivity (one of my all-time favorite) for its spiritual content; Anotherloverholenyohead as the only released single of the list; and OtherHereWithUs, too scary!
Made room for LifeCanBeSoNice, What'sMyName, AnHonestMan (closing number for the first sequence) and Habibi as an interlude. Other songs were switched for better sequencing.

FROM DUSK... TILL DAWN 2.0

1.MyLittlePill

Really like it that way. No singles, no classic Prince songs I know by heart, but definitely fantastic material. I'll probably use these songs as an introduction for casual Prince listeners, as it covers his entire career. and displays an incredible variety of writing and arranging talent.

essential? maybe not but it works for me

Anji, I need your help here...

Do you just want a CD of my favorite Prince songs, or a succession of titles that make a good, singular statement? My favorites don't necessarily go together well.

Lammastide said:

Hey Lammas, how ya doin' bro? This thread was really about what your all-time favourites are, and if you could sequence them coherently onto one disc.

It's been a curious mixture of attempts so far.

antuco said:

Thanks for posting, Antuco! As for your collection, it certainly is very interesting in places. For example, Arrogance into Annie Christian is something I don't think I'll ever see anywhere else!

Nice work dude.

roverlo said:

Ooh, I do like this one indeed. I think We Can Funk would work better for me amidst the first two songs.
