Top 40 Prince Songs
I've crunched the numbers and frankly had to go searching for 36-40 (I only had 35).
But if my math is accurate, these are the top 40 Prince songs. I put When Doves Cry on the list even though I hate it because if I didn't someone would go "Where's When Doves Cry?"

Partyman (Batman soundtrack) 29. International Lover (1999) 28. Cream (two minute intro, skip past) (D&P) 27. Sign O' The Times (SOTT) 26. P***y Control (The Gold Experience) 25. Sometimes It Snows In April (PUTCM) 24. If I Was Your Girlfriend (SOTT) 23. The Ladder (ATWIAD) 22. Pop Life (ATWIAD) 21. Jack U Off (Controversy) 20. Baby I'm a Star (PR) 19.

Let's Go Crazy (PR) 11. I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man (SOTT) 10. Controversy (Controversy) 9. When You Were Mine (DM) 8. Kiss (PUTCM) 7. I Would Die 4 U (PR) 6. I Wanna Be Your Lover (Prince, self-titled) 5. Erotic City (single B-side) 4. Purple Rain (PR) 3. 1999 (1999) 2. Raspberry Beret (ATWIAD) 1. U Got the Look (SOTT)Comments

Meh to the nth.
Putting "When Doves Cry" at the bottom is the tip-off.

i looked inito that. i was wrong, he never did his own version. he wrote it for his side project, called The Family. So it wasn't an official prince song, though he wrote it, of course.

I always thought that if Prince had ever done an entire album of unmistakable Rock and Roll songs, it would have been a Desert Island disc for sure.
Its been a hella sad year for music already and we're not even in May yet.
Clapton, Jeff Beck, Paul, Ringo, Plant, Paige, Daltrey, Townshend are at least 70 years old. Steve Tyler and Joe Walsh are 68, Joe Perry is 65.
When any one of these blokes goes he will take a gigantic chunk of my youth with him.

Sinead's version is one of those songs that gets imprinted on your mind when it's playing in the background of, shall we say, a very pleasurable experience. Sadly, no sex per se, but an extended make out session with a gorgeous redhead. I would have easily fallen for her for many reasons, but somehow it never went beyond that first encounter.

Maybe the background music had something to do with it? You should have gone with some Barry White, instead.

One of my favs, when young. Felix produced Cream's albums. Leslie couldn't play fast, but he could milk a note. Drummer Corky Laing was a notorious wild man, and I thought a cave man until I saw an interview where was he surprisingly erudite. If it weren't for R&R he would have been a high school English teacher in Montreal.

What does "died from flu complications mean?"
It means the deceased has a press agent, and pills were involved. And that he didn't die from the flu.

He did some RenFaire stuff in the late 70s in MPLS.. Trick longbow shots, mandolin playing, playing a modified electric longbow as a one string tub thumping kind of bass, madrigals.

He was a vegan. He also suffered from epilepsy as a kid but claimed that he was cured by divine intervention.
And The Most Beautiful Girl In The World easily belongs on this list even if ace is ignoring me. It's the only song he sung, sung not just wrote, that charted at no. 1 in the UK and no. 3 in the US. One of his biggest hits.

I think we are thinking of Prince as he was in his heyday as a 20-something year old ball of energy. The guy was 57. Not old (I'm pushing 56) but not a youngster. And if he had pneumonia with that flu, forget it.

We have friends who lost a seemingly healthy two-year-old to the flu several years ago. Heartbreaking.
Also, the Spanish Flu killed thousands of mostly young, healthy people in the early 1900's.

I never bothered to concern myself with the difference, because I get sick so rarely, but the last few years I've gotten flu vaccines because some work places make it as close to mandatory as they possibly can.
Must say, my once-a-season fever/cough/runny nose combo, are either much less, or like this year, non-existent.

My husband was home for a week with the flu. He was fever free for 24 hours, then a bad cough. Secondary infection bronchitis. My husband has never missed a day of work due to illness. Ever. This was a bad flu.
My brother had the same thing happen to him, down for a week, got better, then started felling bad again. He had pneumonia.
My brother is really healthy.

Lelle, I got religion on that one but good. I never got flu shots until . . .
A friend's neighbor was so healthy it was insane; he was a professional dancer and fit as could be. Healthy diet, healthy habits, the works.
One year he kept putting off getting his flu shot, which he normally did every year, and boom -- he fell sick, doctors couldn't figure out what it was. Very weird illness, and he kept sinking and sinking. After about 7 days he died.
Turns out it was the flu. The reason they couldn't figure it out was, he was so sick he should by rights have dropped dead on Day 1 or 2, but he was so healthy his body kept him alive way beyond his kill date and they couldn't figure out why one system after another was shutting down.
I figured if that guy could die of the flu, anyone could. I've been getting flu shots since, and proselytizing for them.

This seems unlikely.
People forget a few things:
1.)Flu is dangerous. When they tell you, "go home, stay in bed" they mean it. Prince, being on the workaholic side (as are most successful people in the private sector) did not do that. He'd been traveling and performing.
2.)Other bad, bad things (that are not HIV or drug-related) can present with flu-like symptoms until shit suddenly hits the fan.

I've had friends and family get a really bad flue this winter, the kind that last 3 weeks. Also going around was a nasty GI infection (which spoiled my Christmas). I'm guessing that with all of our new friends from other countries that we're being exposed to different bugs, like the EV-68, that we haven't been exposed to before. It's a natural consequence of the mass population movement that has been happening here and in Europe...

Rest In Peace, Prince.
Escorted a beautiful woman to his Purple Rain movie when it was first released. We were in Seattle- I was in the Navy, she was local- and it was our third date so of course I was hoping this would be "the night".
It was.
She, I, we, had a magical evening. A night I will never forget. Prince provided the soudtrack for many magical nights for many couples, I'd imagine.
Rest In Peace, Prince. Your job on earth is done, and you changed/influenced more people and events than you could ever know.

Yep. Apparently he had some pretty strong feelings about his music. :-)
In any case, I've always preferred the duet of that song he did with Rosie Gaines rather than Shithead's version.

Great list. I actually got a couple after a Family Guy episode where they all deny liking Barry Manilow, but eventually admit that they love all his music. Same with John Denver and The Carpenters.

I was listening to KLOS 95.5 (Southern California rock music station) during lunch time and the dj was interviewing Lenny Kravitz. The dj asked Lenny Kravitz what caused the death of Prince and Lenny Kravitz stated that he had an idea, but did not want to say it on-air. There was also a BlindGossip.com item listed earlier this week; it stated that a prominent African American celebrity had AIDS and had been taking medication for it for years. Apparently religious leaders told him he was "cured" and he quit taking the medicine. He then became deathly ill and was expected to pass away soon. Now, I would not be surprised if he did die of AIDS, nor would I care. The man was a gifted musician and a huge influence culturally for those of us coming of age in the 80s. And I'm sorry..."Housequake" should be on that list.

It seems that these people who can afford the high price treatments for HIV that makes their viral count undetectable think they are cured. They're not.
Both Magic Johnson and Charlie Sheen believed they were cured. When Sheen stopped the meds and his viral count went up, he appeared very distraught.

Sing it while we watch them fall
All seven and we'll watch them fall
They stand in the way of love
And we will smoke them all

And together we'll love through all

Prince was treated for a drug overdose 6 days before his death ... multiple sources tell TMZ.
We broke the story ... Prince's private jet made an emergency landing in Moline, Illinois last Friday, hours after he performed in Atlanta. At the time his reps said he was battling the flu ... something we questioned because his plane was only 48 minutes from home before the unscheduled landing.
Multiple sources in Moline tell us, Prince was rushed to a hospital and doctors gave him a "save shot" ... typically administered to counteract the effects of an opiate.
Our sources further say doctors advised Prince to stay in the hospital for 24 hours. His people demanded a private room, and when they were told that wasn't possible ... Prince and co. decided to bail. The singer was released 3 hours after arriving and flew home.
We're told when Prince left he "was not doing well."
We know authorities in Minnesota are trying to get the hospital records from Moline to help determine cause of death.
