"Cream" (5/5)-i like the way he sings in this song. 2. he's not known as "the artist" for nothing.5. it's one of my all time favorite prince songs. it's only song on here i dislike.15. i read somewhere that it has some sexual tones.
"Diamonds and Pearls" (5/5) - i love this song. it was released in the late 70s. it's very beautiful. it takes one open minded, intellect to fully appreciate and understand his music.
it's hilarious and so was the video where he dances with this mystery woman.10. he mixes funk, soul, and rock all together and make it work and make it into his own kind of style. i like the fact that he plays his own instruments, writes, and produces his own songs. "I Wanna Be Your Lover" (single edit) (5/5) - this song marks pre-prince. it has a great collection of my favorites.1. "Alphabet St." (5/5)-very funky and fun13. "Kiss" (single edit) (5/5)-listening to this song always put a smile to my face.
that's why i love the 80s.there was more originality during that type. i think this cd would be a great start of people who are just casual fans or new fans. his only best film. "When Doves Cry" (single edit) (5/5)-i love the video. it has some religious references in there as he reassures his lover that he can do no wrong.8.
i love prince and his music. i asked them if they did like him or his music.i get "hell no" or "not my cup of tea". "Sign "" the Times" (5/5)-i heard this song the first time while watching a movie in class.11. "Raspberry Beret" (5/5)- so sweet and delicious.9. "Little Red Corvette" (5/5) - another hit from him during the 80s. it has such a symbolic meaning to it.7. one of the most artistic things ever done at its time.
"1999" (single edit) (5/5)- i love this song. people were barely copying each other. "I Would Die 4 U" (5/5)-my absolute fave. he's one of a kind. "U Got the Look" (5/5)-the duet with sheena easton is awesome. 1999 is actually my favorite year so this song just happens to be so convenient during the time being.3.
"Money Don't Matter 2 Night" (5/5)-it's very laidback and phil collins-y "Thieves in the Temple" (5/5)-love it14. he is such a unique and talented person. i love hearing all the crazy sounds in the end. another reason to love the 80s.12.
i love the movie purple rain. it makes me want to get up and dance and the intro is very epic and pure genius.6.
"Purple Rain" (5/5) - one of his best ballads ever. not many people i know around me can appreciate his music.
it sounds so seductive just like the lyrics itself.16. all this time, i could have never guess it.4.
"Let's Go Crazy" (5/5)- it's a great party song with a rock touch to it. "Gett Off" (1/5)-umm.i don't really like this song, sorry.
the songs you hear out now can never have that artistic soul like this.17.
Love this CD,it has all the songs I relly like by Prince. Recommend it highly if you are a Prince fan.
The 2007 release "Ultimate Prince" is also a fine compilation, but although this is a double disc CD there are still several 'hits' that were not included in that compilation."Erotic City", "Adore" and "Sexy M.F." to name a few (although, I understand that 2 of those tracks were originally intended for the "Ultimate" but were later omitted. I've owned this CD ("The Very Best Of Prince") since it's release (2000) and after reading the reviews posted by others (as I often do), I feel an obligation to share my opinion of this particular compilation. Although "The Very Best" falls short in terms of quanity when compared to "The Hits/The B Sides", in terms of production quality "The Very Best" has far better 'sound quality' and for a single disc collection, the choice of material is 'the very best' and unlike the 'hits', all of the songs are in chronilogical order (which is always a plus, in my book). Anyway, the point that I'm really trying to make is, an artist like Prince cannot possibly be anthologized on a single ("The Very Best Of"), double ("Ultimate") or even triple disc ("The Hits/The B Sides") collection.It's just not possible. And until Warners or NPG can produce a single disc collection of 'hits' that can surpass "The Very Best Of Prince" this will be the undisputed champion of single disc compilations and 5 stars worthy in my Prince collection.
Hello All,Let's start out by saying that this is a fantastic cd by Prince. It has all of your favorites on there such as: Little Red Corvette, Purple Rain, U Got the Look, Kiss, 1999, I Wanna Be Your Lover. I can keep going on because this disc is filled with 17 songs of pure, raw edginess by our man. Go grab this CD, matter of fact, grab 2 while your at it:-)
I never realized how much of a Prince fan I was until I was singing along with all of these songs. One great song after another.
