The other day, Gail Simone broached the question of what Prince song was the best, if you could pick one and only one. I'd been listening to some of his music, anyway, due to Purple Rain having come up in casual conversation with a friend.
Unlike Gail, I'll say you can pick more than one if you like, but what is your favorite? Mine is "When Doves Cry", followed by Party Man from the '89 Batman soundtrack.
(Actually, I am not really usually that into Prince in terms of finding him attractive, but for some reason, he's REALLY hot in the Party Man video. Go figure.)

I love that ended up being what they went with when Kevin Smith wanted to negotiate getting a Prince song for Jay and Silent Bob Strikes Back, with Prince basically saying, "Well, you can't afford me, but how about this?"

I'm not too familiar with his work as a whole, but Seven is an absolute banger.

If you haven't ever heard it, it's worth checking out his story about being hired to direct a Prince documentary by Prince. It's insane and hilarious.

Raspberry Beret.
(Favourite song that he wrote and either someone else covered it, or he wrote it especially for them) : Manic Monday

Too many to mention for me, but 17 Days is relentlessly funky. It doesn’t even feel like a mid tempo track.

Just to throw it out there, there's a new collection of unreleased Prince stuff coming soon that will have his versions of Jungle Love and and Manic Monday on it. He was also a big Soul Asylum fan and did a cover of Runaway Train that will be in this collection also.

I like Raspberry Beret, but not as much as Delirious.

Huge Prince fan and it’s just too damn hard to even choose a short list.

Raspberry Beret. I've only heard Mariah Carey's cover of Beautiful Ones, and enjoy it. I would imagine the original is very good.
