- When Doves Cry (1984) Don't quote us, but legend has it that Prince was never quite able to replicate the guitar intro for "When Doves Cry," as he was fooling around when he created it, which is why a lot of times he would just use the recorded version of the intro for the performances.
- Purple Rain (1984) And then there were two. We'll go with "Purple Rain" as our number two selection. It was already iconic due to it being the defining song from the Purple Rain film, but the legendary level was increased after Prince performed this as the closing number for his 2007 Superbowl performance.
- Kiss (1986) We do feel guilty leaving off "1999" because of how iconic the song is, but we haven't covered anything off the Parade album, and "Kiss" is just as legendary.
- Let's Go Crazy (1984) Dang it! We just realized that we've only got four slots left, meaning we'll have to leave out a few of the major classics, that's okay though because we said that we wanted to give love to some of Prince's work outside of what was the most "commercially successful," so we're confident with our picks.
