Top 3 Prince Songs

[LeeGalvin]

I also want to give a little love to 'Erotic City'. Such a great tune!

[slash's hat]

Goodness I read some of this earlier and thought I'll have a think, came back to it, read some more and still struggling to pin down 3.

1) when doves cry

2) thieves in the temple

3) purple rain/get off

Also have a soft spot for the duet with madonna love song - just a time in my life thing.

[FuzzyDunlop]

Raspberry Beret really is a perfect pop tune.

Catchy, great story telling lyrics and you instsntly know what it is.

Had it on repeat a few times earlier. 

I knew I loved it, but forgot how much.

I used to have a bit of a thing for the Morning Papers as well.

Can't quite believe he's gone still. I'm not alone in thinking that Prince was very poor at self moderation. Most of the early albums contained dud tracks and the later albums contained mostly duds, howlers some of them. But the output was so prolific and the diamonds were such diamonds we can all surely forgive him for that. and that said, everyone will have three different choices in this thread, one man's dud is another's diamond. For Me:-

Sign of the times

Money Don't Matter 2 Night

(and most especially) If I was your girlfriend...

My favorite quote about Prince this week was from Eric Clapton.

When asked what it felt like to be the worlds greatest guitarist, he said *I don't know, ask Prince"

[Spindles]

Some corkers there Bamber, thanks

[LeeGalvin]

Enjoying 6 Music's Prince celebration today. Playing The Beautiful Ones right now... love it so much!

People really need to stop taking twitter posts as gospel. 

Was actually said by Hendrix about Rory Gallagher.

OK. I'm not on Twitter, Fucking Guardian. Standards have slipped. Not sure who you can trust for accurate information anymore?

I'm well mugged off for quoting that now.

Or Hendrix said it about Phil Keaggy. Or, more likely, he didn't say it about anyone. Some discussion here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk%3ARory_Gallagher#The_Hendrix_quote

Anyway, from where I'm sitting, Prince is right up there as one of the great guitarists.
