Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to celebrate this artist known as Prince.  There are very few artists who have been as prolific as Prince.  This week, he just released his 33rd and 34th albums at the young age of 56.  Surprisingly, the 2000s were the decade with the most Prince album releases, especially if you count two albums for the double release of Lotusflow3r and MPLsound.  Even though the 90s were populated by more albums, it’s the 80s that we are here to go crazy about.  Let’s go back to a time when people partied like the apocalypse, raspberrry was a color, and dance floors rained in purple.

Here are the 11 Best Songs By Prince of the 80s:

1. Let’s Go Crazy (Purple Rain)
2. When You Were Mine (Dirty Mind)
3. Little Red Corvette (1999)
4. 1999 (1999)
5. I Would Die For U (Purple Rain)
6. When Doves Cry (Purple Rain)
7. Controversy (Controversy)
8. Raspberry Beret (Around The World in a Day)
