This seemed like a good place to put this thread, with Prince no longer with us...
Normally, my favorite songs of an artist pretty much line up with the mainstream. For whatever reason, that's not the way it is for me with Prince.
Favorite Songs:
1 - U Got The Look
2 - Let's Pretend We're Married
3 - Dirty Mind
So tough to choose...
I'm Yours
Bambi
Shh
..I prefer the harder stuff, so ignoring them:
She's Always In My Hair
Pop Life
Betcha By Golly Wow
When You Were Mine
Strange Relationship
If I was Your Girlfriend
