Haha, it's cool dude, I just wanted to know what some of his best songs were so I could check him out, I've heard people who absolutely love the guy, and some people(Like my best friend) that havea  burning hatred for him.  :hihi:

Want some awesome Prince songs, eh? Where to start...

Purple Rain is the obvious "entry" album...

But Sign O' The Times and Parade are his best works. The Batman soundtrack rocks aswell, as it's a short but easily enjoyable pop/dark funk album. Around the World in a Day is what would happen if The Beatles made an '80s art pop album - Generally interesting, but challenging.

As for '90s Prince, The Gold Experience is his best album of the decade - It's out of print, but not too hard to find. Come is also terrific - Very dark and claustrophobic, but edgy and just cool to listen to.

If you're just looking for great individual songs, check out:

Pink Cashmere
Endorphinemachine
Something in the Water
Thieves in the Temple
The Future
The Love We Make
The Morning Papers


Just avoid either of his last two albums (Musicology and 3121), and you'll be alright.

Heh, I consider myself a fan, but I haven't heard even half of those :P That's what's cool about Prince, he's got a great catalogue behind him. I admit I haven't bothered to get into much of the 90s stuff... yet, at least.

Anyway, a few random all-time Prince favorites of mine:

Darling Nikki
The Beautiful Ones
Paisley Park
Condition of the Heart
Alphabet St.
I Wish U Heaven
Mountains
Sometimes it Snows in April
Money Don't Matter 2 Night

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I'll definetely check it out! I was worried that this thread would get bashed but it seems there are some prince fans on here.  : ok: :hihi:

No prob!  : ok:

I know there are at least two or three other Prince fans around here, so you should be able to get a wide range of preferences when it comes to the purple one.

Skeletor's list has a bunch of spectacular songs on it too - I Wish U Heaven, Paisely Park, and The Beautiful Ones are some of his most unique songs.
