Nothing going on here.

Well, why not make a sort of list of great Prince tunes?

Like a nice album-ish list for newbies, and for those who only know the hits.

So, if you like, try to make a 'Greatest Songs' list, that you really like, without using the well know hits.

U can use b-sides, or extended versions, but skip the remix versions for now (let's keep that for another moment).

Make it between 10 and 14 tracks. up to you, but see it as al album with an A and B side. Think about the fadings and follow ups of songs, how they can work well side by side.

Here's mine; I call it "A Case Of Great Songs"

-

1. Holly Rock

2. Play In The Sunshine

3. Automatic

4. Clouds

5. In A Large room With No Light

6. A Case Of You

-

7. Wonderful Ass

8. Bob George

9. Computer Blue

10. Something In The Water (Does Not Compute)

11. Cocoa Boys

12. International Lover (demo)

13. Vicky Waiting (without the Joker intro) / Venus De Milo

(I'll mix those last two tracks as one)

-

come on, give it a go, propose your own ideas...

I wish you heaven remix (Take this beat).

The "I Wish U Heaven (Take This Beat)" remix, has always been a favourite of mine too.

But i'd like to use that in a Prince-Remix-Only album i'm thinking off... (not remixes done by others for Prince)

In roughly chronological order (sorry, I wouldn't know how to sequence this):

Joy in Repetition [We would need a version with a proper start and end]
Power Fantastic
Vicki Waiting
Willing and Able [Live in the studio / video version]
Love 2 the 9's
Endorphinmachine
Calhoun Square
---
3121
When the Lights Go Down
Muse 2 the Pharaoh
When Eye Lay My Hands on U
Chelsea Rodgers
Act Of God
Stare

14 tracks is not enough.

Sure it isn't, make a second one... etc

I have several. And they all work fine for me, obviously.

It's always a matter of trying what fits right after each song,

and try give it a wider range of his talent.

Your list sounds really great!

Only, I would like to change the order...

WOW!

Niiiiiiiice collected album too!

I can listen to this collection... only two things i'd like to change;

'Gold' & 'Strays Of The World' for me are not openers, but sound more like closing songs.

Can I switch 'Gold' with 'Glam Slam'?

And switch 'Strays Of The World' with ICNTTPOYM?

I'm just loading up your order of collection on my phone, to listen to on my way to work tomorrow.

Thanks.

What's cool about all of these album track lists is that, like most actual Prince albums, they are all good to great but each have one or two songs that I don't enjoy as much.

And what's always been cool about P's catalogue is that a song I don't dig is often somebody else's favourite. I just had this conversation with someone about "Cream." That's true of a couple of songs folks have listed in this post.

Good job on the fictional albums all.

All of these are such good lists!! Love it!!

This is a weird one for me.

I'm not a fan of S.S.T., SexmeSexmenot, and 1000 X's & O's.

But the use of Wall Of Belin and Whistlin' Kenny grabbed my attention.

But for sure i'm gonna try it.

I love ALL of these lists! It's took bad some of these weren't released as singles. Imagine "The Love You Make" or "Private Joy" as big hits.

When the lights go down 5 women Alexa de Paris It be's like that It's about that walk She spoke to me Do your dance Gangster Glam Good life (dancing divas) Good Life (big city remix) TMBGITW Mustang mix Hallucination Rain Come on Indifference Shy Time What it feels like Look at me Wasted Kisses

This is a BIG mix, and sounds super interesting.

Great choice of tracks I bare ever listen too, so that grabs my attention.

I only wanna skip this one; "Gangster Glam" (never liked it), (but i will honestly first give it a spin again), and i prefer the Extended Version of "Alexa De Paris" (such a great song!... where the hell is that Parade SDE????!!!! Estate, ya hear me?)

I'm prefereably gonna make a new mix of both "Good Life" versions, as one song.

For the rest an absolute waw list!

this is great.. I am going to build some of these playlists.

tbh, with no new music forthcoming I am listening to Prince less and less these days, so I need to get some inspiration from his existing catalogue but it's so vast I don't know where to start!

these lists will be a good place to begin.. thanks

Solo is one of the most interesting songs by anyone: EVER.

What other artist has that type of range?
