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.
