There are probably too many to mention, each favourite has a different meaning. But overall my favourite prince song is "Sometimes it Snows In April". This was very important to me at a specific time of my life, fantastic.

my fave is "kiss", because it's part of my childhood memories. i used to see the video for the song all the time when i was about 8 or 9 years old, and i just loved the song right away...that, and i kept wonderin how he could sing so high like a girl (i didn't know what a falsetto was yet...).

"Adore". Sign O The Times was my first Prince album and even at 13 years of age, I could tell I had come across a genius at the top of his game. Certain Prince songs that I used to love have faded over time, but "Adore" is an ageless, enduring classic. It will always be my favorite.

"Purple Rain". When I listened to it for the first time, it just made me look at Prince and music differently and I haven't been the same since. It still grabs me the way it did when I was younger.

It changes every 2 seconds but right now it's Housequake. That song gets me up everytime I hear it!

Lovesexy, track 1.
Wait...u mean the whole album?
Yep, the whole shebang. My CD has only one song on it, and it's my favorite. Because it is the coolest Prince record ever - a wild, colorful ride. Never fails to put a on my face, ear to ear like. I don't know that Prince really though too much about those songs. It sounds like he just put them down off the top of his head. That's what Lovesexy is to me: a peek inside Prince's head. Lots of fun stuff going on in there.

Anna Stesia.

Why? Because they're words to live by.

Mountains. There are so many others I love, but Mountains, especially the long version, has everything I love about Prince's music rolled up in 10 minutes of pure bliss. I also have great memories associated with this song.

Eletric Intercourse. and it doesn't even have guitar.

runner ups:

Another lonely christmas
Darling Nikki
Family name
Let's work

i don't have one favorite i have about 3....when 2 r in love.....wow this song is just so beautiful.
anna steisa....i really don't kno how 2 describe why i like it soo much..but i kno y...i hate u...it sounds really sincere as if he really wrote it about someone...and call my name...its just amazing!

It's a tie:

The Morning Papers, because I think it's a very pretty song despite the bad rap the album gets, and because it has a lot of sentimental value to me.

Be My Mirror (if that's not obvious...), because I cried the first time I heard it and the words really mean something to me.

Joy In Repetition. The song came out at a time in my life where I was very lonely. It's a very comforting song.

I *SO* can't answer this question. There are so many favorites for so many moods.

Pussy Control is my favorite for shakin' my ass.

Another Lonely Christmas has an amazingly personal meaning to me, as I heard it for the first time when I was dealing with someone's (quite literally) crippling depression, and it was the week of Christmas...I cried and cried the first time I heard that song, and it was the first time a song had really "spoken" to the place and time I was at.

Let's Go Crazy is the song that snagged my ass like a deer in the purple headlights...especially the extended version...first time I heard that shit, it was OVAH.

Mountains is, to me, his most spiritually beautiful song. I wish he'd play it live more often.

Play in the Sunshine makes me happiest.

See? Can't narrow it down. Couldn't even try.

"God" = Powerful

And a close 2nd is "17 days". 17 is my favorite number and my birthday.

"Strange But True"
Yeah I know it's from RAVE, but that was the newest Prince album when I started to get into him and when I heard this song, I think that was a defining moment of when I realised I was hooked. The song is pure and utter genius. I'm not religious but he sings the line "By the power invested in me by God all negativity bows" it's so powerful and positive. Musically and production wise it's undefiable. Stange but true!

The Beatiuful Ones
The lyric's, the emotion behind them are unbelievable.

My favorite is "I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man". Why? Its just got it all. Its got the poignancy of a great ballad while at the same time being a great, up tempo rocker. I love the way Prince and Sheila performed it on the SOTT concert video. The way Sheila started that song off still gives me chills. AWSOME!!!

WHEN YOU WERE MINE! BECAUSE IT IS THE TRUTH!!!

"The max"


Come on, that chorus is sheer class by Tony! Great memories bellowing those Tony lines at people when I was a kid of 6 and 7! Exact same with "Gett Off" tony chorus lines but this just takes it 4 me!

"More fuck 4 ur buck u can bet on that" (lets go!)-considering my age, people of an older generation must of thought I was mentally scarred by such a cool throwdown line-P music at an early age may do that to some u know.....

Hmmmmm is a joint with "Gett off" OK? Both songs very somular on chorus and all.....

1999 (long version....Don't Worry, I wont hurt u....."
I've never heard this version on the radio....NEVER

I would have to co-sign with you on "Somtimes It Snows In April".

It reminds me of a friend of mine whom I truly loved back in 1988; I've known him since he was 4. He killed himself later that year in December. He only lived to be 18 years old.

So, everytime when I play the song and hear, "I used to cry for Tracy 'cause I want to see him again." I always replace Tracy with his name.

This has 2 be "Damn u", cuz I heard it when I was travelling in the mountains and it was a marvellous heavenly weather and I felt myself absolutely happy

I have many favourite songs, but one I keep close to my heart is "when doves cry" Because that was the song to this genius, I remember playing it over and over again, good times.

Yeah, you're gonna be pissed off when you hear that he edited DMSR at his concert last night. We don't "work your body like a whore" anymore. Among other edits. Very sad.

"Head"...need you ask why?

White mansion, call my name, jam of the year (live) and somebody's somebody
