Quick survey: if you were to choose one song to represent Prince's 80s oeuvre, which one would you pick?
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.
River ,'Objects In Space'
Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
My first thought was Purple Rain, but I think When Doves cry might be my real answer.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I'm trying to think of something everyone would recognize and that unites party/sexual Prince and spiritual/serious Prince. "Let's Go Crazy," probably. (Although "1999" works, too.)

I'm tending towards "Let's Go Crazy" too. "When Doves Cry" would be my other choice.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
"When Doves Cry" or "Kiss."

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen
I think "When Doves Cry."

"When Doves Cry" or "Kiss."
Not apocalyptic enough.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
"When Doves Cry" has the great screaming at the end, though.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Probably "When Doves Cry," but man I love "Lets Go Crazy." "Dearly beloved..." Who am I kidding, I loved a lot of Prince, especially Erotic City and the Parade album.
