Good sir, dig yourself out from under that rock and visit the iTunes store! Required listening:

 

1. When Doves Cry

2. Purple Rain

3. Let's Go Crazy

4. Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad?

5. Diamonds and Pearls

6. Little Red Corvette

7. Kiss

8. 1999

 

I'd also recommend the following:

 

1. Nothing Compares 2 U (his version; he wrote it)

2. I Feel For You (again, his version)

3. Sexy Mother{censored}er

4. Darling Nikki

5. Musicology

6. Controversy

Amen!

 

We saw him twice last year while he was out on tour. Bought the tickets for the first time and won the second set on the radio.

 

Since my daughter was only six month's we didn't want to leave her with a sitter, so she came both times. She loved the acoustic set in the middle. The whole performance both times was incredible.

 

His set was perfect. Covered almost all of the hits (not Darling Nikki of course since he's clean now), did a couple of covers and even snuck in some "sampling" for the musicians (i.e his crazy guitar solo that included bits of Eruption and some serious Floyd work, and a bass duet with Rondo on parts of Stanley Clarke's Loopsy Lu)

 

I only wish he released a DVD of that tour.

DMSR (full version from the album, not the editting greatest hits version)

Pope

7 (one of his best "anthems" from the NPG age - awesome song)

Challenge him!!!

Oh, right.....the thread. Yes, Prince kicks ass.

Case in point: The first song played at the wedding reception will be "Let's go Crazy."

Dearly beloved
We are gathered here today
2 get through this thing called life

Electric word life
It means forever and that's a mighty long time
But I'm here 2 tell u
There's something else
The afterworld

A world of never ending happiness
U can always see the sun, day or night

So when u call up that shrink in Beverly Hills
U know the one - Dr Everything'll Be Alright
Instead of asking him how much of your time is left
Ask him how much of your mind, baby

'Cuz in this life
Things are much harder than in the afterworld
In this life
You're on your own

And if de-elevator tries 2 bring u down
Go crazy - punch a higher floor

I've never been a big Prince fan, but everytime I catch a live performance of his on TV, I am always mesmorized... he truly is a song writing genius and outstanding guitarist... especially for being able to be such a show-man at the same time.

Anyone notice too how he doesn't seem to age at all... and not in a freaky Michael Jackson kinda way... but like... he seriously just doesn't grow old.
