Happy birthday to a hometown hero and permanent musical companion. Every stage of my life has had Prince on the soundtrack.
The astute observer will notice that there are a number of albums not represented on this list. That's because those albums are either shamefully forgettable and/or were released during the post-Crystal Ball period when Prince and I were not on speaking terms. We worked it out, though.

Where to begin? First, kudos-- overall I agree with a lot of these choices.
When Doves Cry most certainly belongs at the top of the sing-along list for me. Especially the dove noises.
Money Don't Matter 2 Night and Dinner With Delores are two of his loveliest songs, though they could be a sad ones too.
I'd have to put Gett Off on the dirtiest list. It also just rocks. Oh, and Tambourine too. Oh, and Sister? Do Me Baby? Ok, maybe the dirtiest list should have been a top 10.
Pop Life belongs somewhere-- only because it's one of my favorites and I actually covered it in a band I was in (with a girl singer) and the bass line is hella fun to play. Oh, wait, it is on one of your lists. Nevermind.
Sexiest- i'd have to have Shh from The Gold Experience, although your choices are good.
Funniest-- Billy Jack Bitch-- perfect use of a Fishbone sample.
Even though you did a nice round number of 10 lists, I think you need Best Raps in Prince Songs (My Name is Prince is up there-- "U're just a simpleton, I'll bust you like a pimple, son" is one of the best lines ever), and maybe just a "rockingest" list, which would include the title track from Chaos & Disorder, among others.
This is so impressive!
Top five workout songs:
5. Gett Off
4. Musicology
3. P Control
2. I Would Die 4 U/Baby I'm A Star
1. My Name is Prince

thank you.
I forgot that Thieves in the Temple is a top workout song because it's a four mph walking song.
Stacey- we're on it.
Where does "Another Lonely Christmas" rank on your "Saddest Songs" list?
