Very very difficult excercise, the last time I made my best-of Prince for my mp3, I kept 268 songs....so, 10 is very difficult and not truly representative.
After 3 hours of listening I was able to do this :
- Dirty Mind
- 1999
- Let's go crazy
- Darling Nikki
- Purple Rain
- Paisley Park
- Raspery Beret
- Christopher Tracy's Parade
- I wonder U
- Under the cherry moon
- Kiss
- Sometimes it's snow in april
- Sign'o' the times
- Hot Thing
- The cross
- No
- The question of U
- Cream
- Get off
- Come
- Papa
- Crystall ball
- Days of wild
- 3121

I simply can not remove any song, sorry.
Maybe, I say maybe, Darling Nikki is my favourite song of Prince.

10. The Sex of It (demo for Kid Creole and the Coconuts - 1987)
11. How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore
12. Erotic City

I wonder how Moonbeam would rate these songs.

Those are all pretty excellent, and not obvious picks, either. All of those songs date from 1982-1987, where Prince pretty much could do no wrong.

If you dont like the wee geniuses music then dont add a list ...show the greatest all round musician in the world a bit of respect...

So,how many Prince songs are there anyway?(maybe Moonbeam would know). I have just over 200,and I doubt that's even close to half...

Nobody knows. Prince has a huge number of unreleased recordings, and although hundreds of those have been made available, reports from musicians he worked with at the time and producers, etc., reveal that there are hundreds more we haven't heard.

Here's the best online list I've seen:

http://www.princevault.com/index.php/A-Z_song_list

So that's at least 1,141 songs.

Amazing - and that doesn't even include covers. Crimson & Clover,One Of Us,Betcha By Golly Wow etc...
