One of the most celebrated mavericks in the history of popular music,
Prince Rogers Nelson has maintained a well-deserved reputation of being a multi-talented musical genius and an eccentric, difficult personality at the same time. Best known particulary for the monumental soundtrack album
Purple Rain and other works in the '80s, his music is noted for an eclectic style of multiple genres, a range of instruments and his unique vocal delivery.
Okay, words are enough, or I suck at this. I, with the help of the legendary
Ace Reject and
BnPac, have selected
39 singles that have a presence in his catalogue, sorry if songs you love didn't make it.
ENJOY!

You can give an 11 to that one song you really, especially adore. No trolling! It means, if you give my favorite songs any lower than a 10, your whole ballot will be discarded in a second!
It's kinda weird he hate YouTube with a passion and Stevie informed me his music isn't even on Spotify, yet South Korean local streaming services a big part of have his catalogue for basically free. It's fine, as I've heard you can get your ass to TIDAL to for a listen.
