Just to make it easy for now, I'll pick my favorites from each album... In the Garden - Belinda, Take Me To Your Heart, English Summer, Sing-Sing Sweet Dreams - Love is a Stranger, I've Got An Angel, Jennifer, This City Never Sleeps Touch - Here Comes the Rain Again, Cool Blue, Aqua, Paint A Rumour 1984 - Ministry of Love, Sex Crime, I Did It Just The Same Be Yourself Tonight - Conditioned Soul, It's Alright (Baby's Coming Back), Would I Lie To You? Revenge - the singles Savage - Shame, Savage, You Have Placed A Chill In My Heart, Beethoven We Too Are One - Angel B-Sides - Step On The Beast, Invisible Hands, Monkey Monkey, 4/4 In Leather, I Could Give You A Mirror (Remix) I know, I'm lame. I just can't narrow it down right now.  thanks...damn you a superfan. is that your all time fave artist? what about "peace?" i know that record pretty well because it was post Annie's solo career so I think i picked it up like the day it came out. i like: "I Saved the World Today" "My True Love" (or whatever track 9 is called) "Forever" the rest is...ehh I adore every bit of Peace. Interestingly, many of the tracks are slightly different on the remaster of that album. It's cool to have 2 different versions! "Peace Is Just a Word" ranks among my all time favorite songs. I can listen to that album for ages, although I do like early Eurythmics best. Feel free to join in the Prince Album Poll 2018!

It's fun, but if you read Annie's biography, it's pretty clear that the most innovative and creative album they made by far was Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This). The lengths to which they went to circumvent their own poverty and come up with the sounds are just mind-boggling. Feel free to join in the Prince Album Poll 2018!

my boxset is gathering dust as well, but only because i hardly ever
listen to my stereo anymore. i've just uploaded all the remasters 2 my computer and listen to them on there. i love all the extra tracks and the remastered quality. plus i used to make do without some of their albums that i lost over the years, so i'm getting re-introduced to them all over again. did anyone hear the podcast or whatever it was where dave steward is talking you through the new greatest hits album? he plays bits of an orchestral arrangement from "Here Comes The Rain Again" and some more cool stuff. and true love lives on lollipops and crisps | |

Absolutely!"I would say that Prince's top thirty percent is great. Of that thirty percent, I'll bet the public has heard twenty percent of it." - Susan Rogers, "Hunting for Prince's Vault", BBC, 2015 |

i'm listening to it right now I still can't believe that Annie and Dave haven't written a track entitled "Lars" yet.  | |

my copies of the remasters are gathering dust too, but so are most of my CDs. i pretty much only listen to my music via my mp3 player these days. still, i don't listen to eurythmics much more than i ever have, and i'm still bummed that one of my favorites - the 1984 soundtrack - couldn't be part of the remasters. | |

I'm not going to disagree with you. There's not a single track on that album I skip. | |

yeah, it really should have been included in the box. heck, they should have left out Peace imo and tried harder to get to include 1984. and true love lives on lollipops and crisps | |

I'm still listening to mine. I got the box set from Amazon UK last year. I think it's all of the albums. Good stuff. | |

"Julia" hasn't ever been on a comp, unfortunately. The issues with 1984 do indeed have to do with the film. I would have adored that album to be remastered, as it is among my favorite albums of all time. Feel free to join in the Prince Album Poll 2018!

Moonbeam said: "Julia" hasn't ever been on a comp, unfortunately. Are you sure about that? I could have sworn that the old "Greatest Hits" CD had "Julia" on it. The import version had a few more songs on it, including "Sexcrime". Then there was a live "Greatest Hits" two-disc set, and it had a live version of "Sexcrime" on it, if I recall correctly...if I were home I could check my CDs, but since I'm at work I'm at the mercy of Google... | |

It's not on either the 18 track UK version of Greatest Hits or on Live: 1983-1989. I wish it was on something, as it is my second favorite song of theirs.
There are some bootleg comps I've seen from Russia. It may be on one of those. Feel free to join in the Prince Album Poll 2018! Let'a celebrate his legacy by counting down the most beloved Prince albums, as decided by you! | |

back in the '80s, there was a cool daily music show on the USA cable network called "radio 1990" and they played the "sexcrime" video ALL the time.
dunno why i felt the need to share that, but there it is. | |
