Help with making mix to convert somebody

I'm in the process of making a mix CD for a friend who is "interested" in hearing some of P's stuff. This person has heard the 80's radio stuff and that's about it. He's not a fan of dirty stuff (i.e.: no "Erotic City" or "P Control"). Any & all suggestions welcomed. Thank u!

There's plenty of stuff to ease him into it...some of these were singles but doubtful if he's heard them...they weren't that popular...anyway...this would be a list as to not overwhelm, but also give a good look into some of the better tunes tucked in the albums

If I was you girlfriend
Ballad of Dorothy Parker
Thieves in the Temple
Question of U
Joy in Repetition
Pretty Man
Space
Let it go
New World
Anna Stasia
When I lay my hands on you


that's a start... biggrin

Come on
Wasted Kisses
The Continental
Peach

And NOT (Lord knows why) liked these:

If i was your girlfriend
Pink cashmere
[insert practically any falsetto song]

Gold is in. Thank you. I think I'll use Question Of U, Peach, Baby Knows (he likes Sheryl Crow), Come On, She's Always In My Hair, 17 Days.

I would LOVE to include A Love Bizarre, however, I think the full length version is just too long to hold his interest.

Thanks for the info.

I might just end the mix with "Had U". What an underrated song.
