Moonbeam is the biggest superfan for one artist I think we have on this forum. Though I can't complain, as he always gives LCD Soundsystem a boost with his lists as well.

I'll say Prince is definitely my least favorite of the artists so far... the only one that there really isn't an album I truly connect with.

Moonbeam has been on and off with the forum recently - I hope he checks this month! I'd assume he could pull off a top 500 songs list for Prince fairly easily.

Separately, Holden, have you thought about having a thread/poll where we could discuss which artists to poll next? I'd love to see some polls of newer or less canonical artists.

As I’m sure you know, this is sort of built around the AM Best Artists of All-Time list. I like that because we know those artists have repertoires that allow for lists like these, and people are already familiar somewhat with the material. I’ve always thought of this as more of a fun “rediscover old favorites” than discover new songs, not that one is better than the other. One thing I would think would be maybe a bit more interesting is perhaps choosing between, say, the next ten artists on the list? A poll that operates that way, allowing some say. If people want to have much newer or less canonical artists I think that could be fun too, but I feel as though for a poll like this the artists have to have some staying power to have the number of songs and albums required to make it interesting. Does that make sense? Not trying to say no, or anything, just stating my side. I’d love input from others, though!

I've personally been wanting a poll series on the AM Top Artists that progressed past the top 10 names. There are some pretty "obvious" big names in the top 11-20 that I don't think we've done a poll for before.

200 Prince songs at the very least would be well within Mr. MB's range, that was approx. the amount he had in his list for the 2018 AT poll if I recall correctly? His was unquestionably the most vertical ballot as far as artists were concerned.

On the other point, I do like Jackson's idea of a free vote on a 'deep cut' AM-ranked act (maybe below #50?) to conduct a poll on. That doesn't mean I want us to stop going through AM in order like we have been doing if only because I know R.E.M. are coming up soon!

At the same time, I don't want to cause fatigue for whoever would organise the obscurer artists poll or for forum veterans that have no doubt exhausted the most recognised artists.

Immersing yourself into the huge discography of Prince (like I did during the last month) could seem overwhelming at first glance but surely it has been a rewarding experience, the enormous quantity comes with a high quality (Prince has no songs I could rank under a 5) and enough variety to keep your interest.
No other musician before (and probably after) could summon into the same person such a brilliant (and prolific) songwriter, an extraordinarily gifted multi-instrumentalist, a talented singer, an inventive producer and an amazing live performer and dancer. There will be no other like Prince.
I've included a couple of archival albums and albums and songs credited to The New Power Generation (after all they were mostly written and performed by Prince himself). It will appear in cursive.



Albums:

1. Prince and the Revolution — Purple Rain (1984, my #36 album of all-time)
Prince made a master stroke with his first album with The Revolution, getting straight to the rock pantheon while retaining a groundbreaking, advanced edge. He reached massive, global audiences using elements of rock (distorted guitars, slow building songs as "Purple Rain") and synth-pop (synthesizers, "Computer Blue"). But never forgot his black audience, using funk ("Baby I'm a Star") or soul ballads ("The Beautiful Ones"). And even mixing all four styles in a song, the superb "When Doves Cry."

2. Prince — Sign 'O' the Times (1987, #64)
A succulent banquet of music, displaying a varied and wide amount of delicacies cooked with inventiveness, craft and inspiration. A celebration of music while having his feet on the ground, dealing with drugs, AIDS and social issues. There was at the time accusations of betraying his black roots. Unfairly. It was black music, it was white music, it was multi-coloured music.

3. Prince — 1999 (1982)
The big step forward. Long instrumental workouts for a expanding yet cohesive effort. Tonight we're gonna party like it's 1999.

4. Prince — Dirty Mind (1980)
The pinnacle of the Minneapolis sound, a lubricious and libidinous sound with sweaty funk beats and sticky synths licks. Dirty.

5. Prince and the Revolution — Parade (1986)
A kaleidoscopic array of styles, getting the funk back but using psychedelia and orchestral flourishes. Baroque funk anyone?

Songs:

1. Prince and the Revolution — Kiss (1986, my #14 song of all time)
DMSR. Dance, music, sex, romance. A bomb for the Dance floor, an immediate hit of funky Music built on minimalist electronic backing and sensual wah-wah guitars, a hot plea for Sex ("I just need your body, baby, from dusk till dawn") sung with his trademark falsetto and the best example possible of seduction in music, of music for Romance. Under the cherry moon.

2. Prince — Sign 'O' the Times (1987, #110)
Prince did his own take on protest song here. AIDS, drug abuse, poverty, gang violence or hurricanes never were so funky.

3. Prince and the Revolution — Purple Rain (1984)
The gospel-rock anthem that conquered the heart of the classic rock hordes. Not losing an ounce of modernity cred in the way.

4. Prince — When Doves Cry (1984)
Prince defining moment. Rock. Funk. Pop. Gospel. Linn LM-1 drum machine. Metal guitars. Quasi classical synths. And no bass.

5. Prince and the Revolution — Raspberry Beret (1985)
After his rise to stardom Prince approached to the Paisley underground with results as brilliant as this psychedelic pop gem.

Separately, Holden, have you thought about having a thread/poll where we could discuss which artists to poll next? I'd love to see some polls of newer or less canonical artists.
As I’m sure you know, this is sort of built around the AM Best Artists of All-Time list. I like that because we know those artists have repertoires that allow for lists like these, and people are already familiar somewhat with the material. I’ve always thought of this as more of a fun “rediscover old favorites” than discover new songs, not that one is better than the other. One thing I would think would be maybe a bit more interesting is perhaps choosing between, say, the next ten artists on the list? A poll that operates that way, allowing some say. If people want to have much newer or less canonical artists I think that could be fun too, but I feel as though for a poll like this the artists have to have some staying power to have the number of songs and albums required to make it interesting. Does that make sense? Not trying to say no, or anything, just stating my side. I’d love input from others, though!
After looking at the AM artists list again and seeing that the Beach Boys are ranked right after Prince, I will drop my idea for now :D I do think past a certain point it would make sense to see which artists people really want to see polled, but I agree with others that the next group of ten has some fun artists.

I'm loving looking through these lists! I've noticed several entries for "Gett Off" and "Get Off". Prince actually has two separate songs with these different titles! I am almost positive that everyone is meaning to list the lead single from Diamonds and Pearls from 1991, which I have also listed at #227:
The song "Get Off" is from 1990 from the New Power Generation EP, which I have listed at #392:

His performance of this would definitely make my top 10 also! What a solo!

1982 has long been my favorite Prince year, but I'm becoming increasingly convinced that 1980-1983 might be my favorite era of Prince.

Well, Moonbeam, that's a new record. You have more than doubled the longest song lists from Artist of the Month, which was Honorio making lists that were 200 songs long for Bob Dylan and 225 for Prince.

Technically, I could share the entire list I made - I ranked 733 in total, not including various side projects.

Do you want a spreadsheet from me? I'm happy to make one and share if it's easier to manage.

53. Prince — Old Friends 4 Sale (1999)
Awesome list, and great to see you dig so deep into Prince!

Since these two are fairly high in your list, I thought I'd mention that earlier versions of each of these are far more beloved among the Prince fan community, so I thought I'd share in case you are interested.

Many fans feel the version of "Endorphinmachine" on The Gold Experience is overproduced and loses the rawness of this original:


The 1985 version of "Old Friends 4 Sale", meanwhile, has long been heralded as one of the best songs Prince ever made, probably one of the 5 most beloved outtakes. The version from 1991 which was eventually released on 1999's The Vault: Old Friends 4 Sale is generally regarded as far less personal, and again overproduced. Here is the original:


I love both the unreleased and the released versions of these songs, but I tend to agree with the consensus of the fan community here, particularly for "Old Friends 4 Sale"!

Thank you very much, Moonbeam! It has been a real pleasure to go through the whole discography of Prince. I did it (like I always do on these polls) on inverse chronological order, from the last song to the first. I used as a listening guide the exhaustive page Prince Vault (http://www.princevault.com/index.php?title=Main_Page).
And I haven't had enough yet! Right now I'm listening (also in reverse chronological order and guided by the same page) every Prince-related song on other artists discographies (Mavis Staples, Chaka Khan, Madhouse, etc). Right now I'm listening to "GCS2000" by Graham Central Station.
And the next step will be… listening to all the links you provided for the unreleased songs!
And I agree with those two recommendations, the original recordings were rawer and better...

Just wanted to let everyone know that these results are going to be a bit delayed with all of my efforts right now going into the All Time Albums Poll. But they will definitely be released eventually, but maybe not until November. Sorry about this!

Moonbeam's responsible for these findings of mine:

8. Automatic (the revival)
22. Purple Music
31. Neon Telephone
46. Old Friends 4 Sale
49. Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic

Prince like early Bowie really had som interresting non-album material.
