The 10 best Prince songs
1. Automatic (1999)
Sadomasochistic Porn Funk with grinding Hammond’s. Doesn’t get any better than this.
2. Uptown (Dirty Mind)
This is the most punky funk song ever recorded.
3. Bambi (Prince)
This is the only song ever recorded that actually makes you want to shag a cartoon character.
4. Lady Cab Driver (1999)
This overlooked song is like the funky gritty forgotten soundtrack of ‘taxi driver’.
5. The Beautiful Ones (Purple rain)
I think this is the best song of Purple Rain even if only for the impossible falsetto heights the master reaches towards the end.
6. Let’s Work (Controversy)
The best motivating song ever written and another highlight in falsetto funk.
7. Tamborine (Around the world in a day)
Anyone who can make a song about a tambourine sound this horny deserves a Nobel Price.
8. It’s Gonna Be Lonely (Prince)
There’s something about this song I really like. Probably the multi-layered development towards the end of it.
9. New Position (Parade)
Probably the best song of ‘Parade’ even though ‘Kiss’ is seriously tight too.
10. Erotic City (Bsides)
That one’s a real party shooter. Fuck so pretty you & me, Erotic city come alive….
