Tags: PRINCE BEST SONGS

For more than twenty years i've had a huge crush on Prince. The man is gorgeous, eccentric, and basically a genius. It never ceases to amaze me the amount of bad songs he's written, so i just wanted to focus on the good ones!

	DMSR (DANCE MUSIC SEX ROMANCE)
	from the album 1999 released in 1982. This is a double LP and went platinum four times. This cut is one of the best on the album, with Lady Cab Driver coming in a close second.
	SISTER
	from the album Dirty Mind released in 1980. Not his best album, it only reached Gold status. this song at first listen sounds like a song about incest, but the more i think about it, it probably isn't. Could the "sista" be a girlfriend he had, maybe the black woman that messed him up so bad that from that point on all he dated was latinas? Just a thought. This song is so bad, that it's actually good, but very short. I love how it goes right into the next cut Party Up.
	SIGN O' THE TIMES
	from the album of the same name released in 1987. Another double LP that went Platinum. I like this song because we get to hear some more of his political views. He talks of AIDS, gangs, and drugs, issues that are still very relevant today. This album is loaded with some of his best work, but this song has always stood out for me.
	THE BEAUTIFUL ONES
	from the album Purple Rain (soundtrack) released in 1984. love this song because it shows that my boo has some insecurities. He really lets loose at the end, and if you ever listen to it you can almost see him down on his knees begging this woman to choose him, which i love. Take note Lil' Wayne, and all the rest of the artists trying to manage a platinum status....this album went plat 13 times, which puts it in the category of diamond. HE'S RICH BIOTCH!
	DARLING NIKKI
	from the album Purple Rain. Prince performing this song on stage pumping his cute butt and gyrating on the speaker in the movie is something that i 'll never forget!
	KISS
	from the album Parade, which is also the soundtrack for that tired film Under A Cherry Moon. Realeased in 1986 went plat. They play this song so much on the radio here, that i can't even listen to it anymore. However the line "act your age, not your shoe size" is genius. Just a little trivia, the woman who dances in the video with the sunglasses and veil, was deemed not pretty enough so he covered her up. I guess he just wanted her body, in which case he could have just put a paper bag over her head and called it a day.
	CONTROVERSY
	from the album Controversy released in 1981. I love the music on this one, and the lyrics are more of a peek at his political views on the crap that Ronald Reagan had going on with Russia at the time. It seems like so long ago, but it's still a very good song. This one also went plat. Just one of the reasons why this man can command two mill plus for a performance!
