One of the most prolific legends of the last 30 Years. This man right here goes by many names: Prince, The Purple One, The Kid… Hell, he even went by a symbol for a certain amount of time. Just call him Prince. This man can do it all, from performing live, to producing new tracks for himself and others, to playing every instrument on his albums. What else is there left to say except that the man is a genius. Whatever mood you’re in, whether it’s time to party or time to get close to that special someone, Prince has music for that occasion. So, without further ado, here’s my list for Prince’s 15 Greatest Songs of All Time (in no particular order of course).
1. Let’s Go Crazy (The version played in Purple Rain)
2. Do Me Baby
3. Adore
4. Darling Nikki
5. Little Red Corvette
6. Raspberry Beret
7. 1999
8. The Most Beautiful Girl In The World
9. When Doves Cry
10. Purple Rain
11. The Beautiful Ones
12. Get Off
13. Black Sweat
14. Kiss
15. Call My Name
What’s your list looking like?

Your list is not complete without “Insaitiable”. There’s no way you can tell me that “Do Me Baby” is better than “Insaitiable” especially when it wasn’t even the best version of that song. Me’lissa Morgan did a better version of that song. Then again, it is YOUR list.

1. Adore. This is a classic work of art in every sense of the world. A legend. An audible masterpiece. The greatest song of all time in my honest opinion. It has everything, including a heavenly chorus making it sincere after playful banter. Just a gem of a song.
2. Pink Cashmere. In the same vein as Adore, Prince conjures up the most precious material, and sweetest color defining a woman that he can think of, and wants to wrap his love in it. Amazing song.
3. When Doves Cry. There was nothing like it at the time. The beats, the voice, the feeling it aroused. The screams. Perfect.
4. Kiss. Simple genious. This was the man in the middle of his artistic prime. There’ll never be another song as creative.
5. How Come U Don’t Call Me Anymore. And yes, the man can do blues.
6. Little Red Corvette. His analogies are splendid. “… and the ride is so sweet, you must be a limousine”. Laughable, but hot as hell!
7. International Lover. Just listen to it again, and ask yourself… has there ever been a more expressive artist?
8. Love 2 the 9’s. This is from the Symbol album. You’ve probably never hear it, but he breaks it down. “Could you stay awake for 14 hours listening to the grass grow”. That was a line expressing the comfort of having one another.
9. Friend, Lover, Sister, Mother/Wife. Another masterpiece. “Sight for sore eyes.” This is from the Emancipation CD. Investigate this song. Do yourself a favor. If you love ballads, you’ll melt.
10. The Beautiful Ones. From Purple Rain. We’ve ALL been there before, where “we gotta know… we gotta know”. Prince rips this jam UP!
11. Let’s Go Crazy
12. God Created Woman
13. U got the Look
14. She’s Always in my Hair
15. Diamonds and Pearls
Honorable Mention… Desire, written by Prince, performed by The Family… because Prince had too much music, and wanted to get it out via other sources, and groups he created… such as The Time!

Limiting this list to 15 songs is INSANE!

Damn. Now you got me goin.
I can’t forget PFunk… HOT AS HELL!

And of course… I apologize… Insatiable is amazing… as is SCANDALOUS, especially the 19 minute Sex Suite version featuring The Crime, The Passion, The Rapture!
But still… so many many more songs to mention!
Alexa de Paris, Girl, Vicki Waiting… the list goes on and on.
Don’t get us hardcore fans going! lol
