As a remastered and expanded version of classic album 1999 is announced, we rate the Purple One’s finest funk hits

50. The Greatest Romance Ever Sold By the end of the 90s, Prince obviously wanted commercial success again. The album Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic came packed with guest appearances; the smooth hip-hop-soul balladry of The Greatest Romance Ever Sold was a good indication of its musical style. It wasn’t a bad song, but the sense Prince was following trends rather than going his own way was hard to avoid.

As if I needed an excuse to listen to Prince tonight 💖

Thunder, Diamonds and Pearl's?

Blackgold347 did you see this?

If Raspberry Beret isn't 1, I'm fucking kicking off!!

I Wish You Heaven is where it’s at for me. He was so brilliant, 50 an effortless list to compile. Though Kiss at 2 is nonsense.

You will always disagree with these lists, but it just reminds me how utterly wonderful he was.

Blimey - I think I actually agree with your top twenty picks. Kudos to the journo who had to rank them. Maybe you could give a shout-out to her/him?

Diamonds and Pearls? Also a shout out to the Cyndi Lauper cover of When U Were Mine, which although not one of his singles, was brilliant and her version was something else (especially live)

The writer is in a horribly impossible position here. I mean, Prince only had, what, at best 3 passable songs... DucksAndCovers

Let' Go Crazy at 15? Nooooooo!

Sometimes it snow in April.... Did you forget something?

These lists are always controversial but ‘Kiss’ being No 2 of his top songs, no way. Surely that’s way further down the list.

'I'm not a woman, I'm not a man, I am something that you'll never understand' - I Would Die 4 U.

Thieves in the temple is my favourite..

🕊🕊😢

Fuk it! I don't want to see them given some arbitrary score.
