Some great tracks on there! Seems a little unfocused but that's the problem with P. What do u focus on? Rock? Funk? Live jams? Ballads? Seems like u went for more of an eclectic focus for your musician friend.

YEah, need more info. What instrument does he play? What does he listen to and like? What sorts of music does he play, etc.

He’s pretty all over the place with what he likes. He likes techno and country music and most of what’s in between. He plays guitar, bass, and drums.

I didn't read you list cause I wanted to go in fresh but I'd get What's My Name, 101 and Dance On in there maybe. Country? I dunno. Folks will say Right the Wrong but meh. Maybe some stuff off The Undertaker of Exodus - Honky Tonk Woman and Return of the Bump Squad.

Those are my go-to albums for non fans when I wanna surprise them.

I cant pull up ur Tidal list but here are some underrated Gems (at least for the masses) that are in my mind at the moment:

2morrow

Dionne

Pink Cashmere

Dark

Glasscutter

Da Bourgeoisie

I Feel For You (acoustic)

F.U.N.K

2045 Radical Man

All Day All Night (Prince version)

Avalanche

A good buddy of mine that I jam with regularly asked me to make him a playlist of Prince songs that I think he might like based on what my favorites are. Would love to hear your feedback! Let the song choice loving/hating begin https://tidal.com/playlis...c4c2fb80e7

If you are trying to convert him to a Prince fan, make a playlist of what HE LIKES rather than your favorites. That's actually what he was asking. And use an accessible, non-pay channel like the Official Prince Channel on Youtube.

OMG. He asked you for a playlist, not for 50 or more completely random tracks.
He would be lost buy the tenth track, and it woud be a pain in the ass inthe end to retain anything significant
here.
Just buy him Purple Rain on vinyl , that would be a good start.
Then if he likes it, try SOTT.

So...how did it go over?

Seconded.

Yeah...if I know enough about a person's tastes, I can usually cobble together a disc of deep cuts that will turn their heads and usually give me the "I didn't know he could do that" response.
