There's so much...and of course lots of great stuff already listed.

For starters off the top of my head, I'd add more from Exodus.

Too many to list, the 90's saw a lot of great Prince music.

I'd run way over time for sure. : )

To add to the more from Exodus request, will also add:

Comeback
Space
Sacrifice of Victor
Eye Wonder
Calhoun Square

Are you counting songs that have known versions before the 90s?

I dont remember the truth super well so not sure what I thought of comeback.... I'm just counting songs officially released in the 90s. Not counting power fantastic just as that was released as an archive track, whereas RUTJF and pink cashmere were older, but were released as if they were new.... What would you add from exodus? The only contender I thought was cherry cherry. [Edited 11/12/20 6:54am]

Love these exchanges, as there's no accounting for (my) taste , and it's so much fun to hear from other folks who love to listen to Prince and NPG, etc.

Personal Exodus preferences:

Get Wild

The Good Life

Return of the Bump Squad

Hallucination Rain

The Exodus Has Begun

[Edited 11/12/20 6:54am] I should say my criteria was basically to choose the most novel or interesting songs so while I like sleep around a lot for instance it not that novel in a wider context. I also left out songs that are a lot of fun like interactive or endorphin machine just because I'm not sure how well written they are compared to princes other rock songs. But I know ppl will disagree with some of my choices lol [Edited 11/12/20 7:02am]

"U there with the cynical disposition
Perhaps U'd like 2 join us n a mission"

The Gold Experience (with "Shy")

Exodus without the segues

COME

Chaos and Disorder

plus...

"The Morning Papers"

" Wanna Melt With U"

"3 Chains O' Gold"

That'll about do it for the best stuff.

WOW, a whole lot of fabulous songs on your list. I would definitely have to add When the Lights Go Down.

When I want to hear a best of 90s Prince playlist, I play the fanmade The Dawn compilation. That's near perfect.

Glad no one has replied with pussy control on their lists! I have never understood why people like that song so much.

Me neither, it's awful.

Honestly my playlist would just be The Dawn bootleg

Sexton mentioned this above. You guys have got me curious. Will have to educate myself.

A few more...

What's My Name
Violet the Organ Grinder
Days of Wild

Acknowledge Me

Also Now.

Now is too much fun to leave out.

I know you know this but I had to laugh that the first 6 songs were all originally 80s tracks.

If you listen to Prince's albums in order P Control followed by Endorphinmachine are one hell of a breath of fresh air after the previous, what, five albums? Even if you don't like P Control it starts off sounding so excited, with that bass straining to get going and the in-your-face synths.

I'm just using logic... in a think tank

Yes I put them first as I've done it in chronological order P control STARTS off amazingly. But then the vocals start. And the lyrics start. And then I go [Edited 11/13/20 4:59am]

I LOVE the opening to both of these songs. For me, both continue on in a great musical way. Love Endorphinmachine lyrics and concept, but like funk, I cringe at some of the P control lyrics.

I know a couple of hard core fans who love P Control. One of them says it's her pro-girl/woman anthem. For me, I can imagine how it might come off that way if a person hears it in the background, only catching lyrics here and there. But for some of the lyrics, I don't see it at all.

IMO the P Control lyrics also have an odd mix of logic/implications about levels of financial income. Having a hard time explaining without going into detail.

Don’t see the "anthem" reaction of my friends. Don't see how it's particularly pro-girl/woman or pro-boy/man.

This, for example:

"Pussy got bank n her pockets b4 she got dick n her drawers
If brotha didn't have good and plenty of his own
N love Pussy never did fall"

Could say lots, but will leave it with, if this is the point of view, where's the lyric that says this:

"Dude got bank n his pockets b4 he got pussy n his pants"

?

I haven't heard this but I know the track list I'm sure it's good but idk if i need to hear half those songs on there too often It seems like a great summary of that mid 90s era though

Trust me, it's a lot better than the tracklist would have you believe. It has been made to flow together perfectly, often using bits and pieces from different versions of the songs. I wasn't really a fan of the era until I listened to that release.
