alright, i have a confession to make i have been listening to prince now for 24 years -- damn that makes me feel old !! anyway, i usually only listen to the same stuff over and over, and there are songs i have never even really listened to. so, if you could, would you choose a song, let me know where i can find it, and let me know why you like it so much ( guitar work, lyrics, or otherwise). the only hint i have for you is that i really really enjoy the slow grooves hes got, not so much into all the funky, loud shit, remember, im old. and be gentle...this is meant to be a new beginning for me

let me be a bit more clear here, LOL, im looking for songs, that arent maybe as popular, but that YOU really enjoy, maybe i can gain a new favorite song outta this

I can't really think of any that you wouldn't know. I dig his slow grooves as well Have you downloaded The Chocolate Invasion, or perhaps have the downloaded previously from the old NPGMC. If not, I think you'll really dig 'The Dance' and 'Underneath The Cream' those two songs represent why I love Prince's music so much. I'd like to think I;m still young, so I dig the loud shit to!

A true gem that I slept on for too long....

When The Lights Go Down.....found on Old Friends 4 Sale, AKA The Vault.

Real jazzy, but bouncy jazz, not NEWS jazz.

This is one of my favorites now.

can you tell us which albums you don't have?

2 name a few of my faves:
Grand Progression
Player
Old Friends 4 sale
Dance with the devil
Cookie Jar

SUBLIME & ESSENTIAL

see, thats just it, i have all the albums, some concerts, and the work (vol. 1-4). the point is, i dont listen to all of it all the time, so i was lookin for a few good songs that i could be reminded of to go back and check out. remember, im the one that just heard bob george for the first time not long ago although, i really dont care for that song at all...but, im sure there are others out there that i would love to hear

Yeah, I slept on that song a long time too. But that's the jam!

Heres some of my faves...
"When the Lights Go Down"..yep...I agree with ya'll on that one
"Shy"-The Gold Experience
"Private Joy"-Controversy
"Somebodys Somebody"-Emancipation disc 1
"Soul Sanctuary" and "Emale"-Emancipation disc 2
"The Other Side of the Pillow"-The Truth

I just love Pink Cashmere on The Hits/The B-Sides. Not sure why, it's just simple and clean and plaintive.

thanks guys --- keep it commin these are great choices

What do you normally listen to?
