Funky as hell!

OMG! This album kicks ass! it is incedibly funky and energetic. But best of all... it's REAL music by a REAL musician! No computerised crap in here it's all GUITARS, DRUMS, PIANOS, BASS etc...

I Wanna B Ur Lover - Prince's first BIG hit and a classic dance tune

1999 - The first song to put Prince on the map as a HUGE star

Little Red Corvette - A Rock/Pop classic!

When Doves Cry - The biggest hit of 1984! but it get s boring after a while

Let's Go Crazy - One of my fave songs ever!

Purple Rain - A truly beautiful Guitar rock power ballad for everyone!

I Would Die For You - Boring... i don't like it that much

Raspberry Beret - Very catchy tune

Kiss - A Pop/Funk GEM!

Sign 'O' The Times - Very funky with FANTASTIC lyrics

U Got The Look - Hmmm I Like it but not that much.

Alphabet ST. - Very Catchy, Funky, Playful and Fun!

Get Off - Cool Hip Hop song.

Cream - Quite cacthy Blues/Rock/Funk song

Money don't mater 2night - Awesome lyrics and a KICK ASS tune

Diamonds & Pearls - Hmmm it's a fairly good ballad but not one of the best

This Album is missing a few hits such as Erotic City, My Name Is Prince and Controversy.

The best singer in 80's

Still as good as before.
This collection is full of spirit

Let's Face It, Prince Is Prince

Prince is just a darn good musical artist. Including a whole slew of his top songs on one CD is going to be a high quality product no matter what. I personally would have liked "Pop Life" included, but other than that, I can't complain. I would have gotten this even if it only had "Raspberry Beret" and "U Got The Look."

"PRINCE'S" Greatest and Best hits!

This cd is great! It includes 17 of Prince's best hits. I like his classic hits such as..Purple Rain, 1999, Little red corvette and I will Die for you. A good cd to have by this incredible performer.

False Advertising

I vividly recall seeing the commercial advertising Very Best of Prince for the first time while I was on vacation in Panama City Beach, Florida. I knew right away that it was going to become a part of my collection in the future.

I thought it had all the Prince that I would want, including "1999," the theme to my high school class of '99 and the one that's always been my favorite Prince song, even back when my age was in the single digits and I thought it was about a slick, stylish car: "Little Red Corvette." Oh yeah, I've always loved "Raspberry Beret," "I Would Die 4 U," and "Let's Go Crazy" too!

I didn't recognize many of the songs on the lower part of the track list, like "Gett Off" or "Thieves In The Temple," but I didn't care, I had to have those awesome 80's songs that I'd been a big fan of for years. And for that reason I'm VERY glad I own this CD, but the more I watched VH1 Classic Rock and after I looked through my book that lists all the Billboard Top 40 Hits, I realized that this isn't as great of a compilation as it could be.

The ones I really wish were on here are "Controversy," "Delirious," and "Batdance." Prince's knack for playing the guitar is well spoken of, and it was a #1 hit, so why not have "Batdance" here? Maybe if this CD was named Prince's Greatest Hits it would be more forgivable. Almost all of those leave off many of the artists' best stuff, but it's called VERY Best of. It's not, though. The Very Best of The Eagles is how a "Very Best of" should be done. When you have an artist like Prince who has had tons of Top 40 hits along with others that didn't quite make the Top 40 that are cult favorites, you need a double disc collection. For Prince, Hits 1 and Hits 2 looks like the better way to go for the more hardcore fan. Or maybe in a few years they WILL release a 2-CD set that has all the Prince we know by heart, even the newer songs like "Musicology"?

Very Best of Prince is a nice overview for the casual fan, however. If all the songs you like by him are here or you just want a sampling of some of his best material, this could be the right selection for you. Either way, it's time to party like it's 1999 and then go for a ride in a little red corvette.
