Thank you! My favourite prince is 90s onwards with a little Lovesexy thrown in so there's so much more to work with! This I think is a bit of a best of the best in that way. Wow is a stunning opener. Toyed with endorphin machine. But that sort of sets you up to think you're going to have an album of complete face melting bangers when it's a varied set.. Thanks for the kind word I was quite proud of it!

Here's mine, chronological but the sequencing seems to work as well. One track per album, two tracks for the doubles + PR, one b-side for batman.

Baby
Bambi
Head
Annie Christian
Lady Cab Driver
All the Critics Love U in NY
The Beautiful Ones
Computer Blue

Condition of the Heart
Venus De Milo
The Ballad of Dorothy Parker
Hot Thing
Bob George
Lovesexy
I Love U in Me
The Question of U
Joy in Repetition
Willing and Able
Money Don’t Matter 2night
And God Created Woman
The Sacrifice of Victor

At last someone actually has a go! Your sequencing puts some similar tracks together in pairs (1999 and Graffiti Bridge cuts especially but also MDM2N and AGCW) I'd mix it up a bit more but I do like the Hot Thing to Bob George sequencing: there's something in the beat and bass lines that is complementary...but in my alternate universe WB wasn't in the business of pissing Prince off in 1993 so would not have included any Black Album cuts. ...the one omission on my list is When 2 R In Love, which is the only way to get around this 😉.

Thanks for your feedback, I agree, the sequencing would have to be fine-tuned here and there. But to your Hot Thing -- Bob George, I would add the following as transitions that IMHO work well as it stands:

Computer Blue -- Condition of the Heart -- Venus de Milo

Head -- Annie Christian

Bob George -- Lovesexy -- I Love U in Me

+ some are just the original sequencing on the respective albums, so I'd leave those as well:

Lady Cab Driver -- All the Critics Love U in NY

The Beautiful Ones -- Computer Blue

Oh, and The Sacrifice of Victor would have to end it - as it is the literal autobiography of P's journey and his transition into prince, thus signaling the end of this particular chapter in his career...
