I think it's interesting how Prince's two "Hits" albums are laid out. You know, the first presents you with the lyrically accessible material, and the second is just loaded with the things that make Prince such a controversial artist. There's the obvious hypersexualized Prince - song titles such as "Do Me, Baby", "Cream", "Gett Off", "Dirty Mind", "I Wanna Be Your Lover", "Head" and so forth should speak for themselves, plus "Little Red Corvette", "Delirious", and "Peach" are heavily, erm... metaphorical experiences. Hell, I'm surprised they didn't throw in "Darling Nikki" just for fun. But it also presents some of Prince's more Messianic material - "Purple Rain", "I Would Die 4 U". And, of course, you've got "Controversy", which addresses Prince's oft-question sexual orientation (not like it's anyone's business in the first place - besides, who gives a crap? It's the music that matters). "If I Was Your Girlfriend" is a whole different beast altogether, featuring Prince completely flipping gender roles on more than one occasion.
Now, here's the cool thing about Prince - he NEVER tried to carry a song on edgy lyrical content alone. Every one of these songs has a hook, a melody, a groove, and whatnot to stand on. So rather than just come off as a pervert, he comes off as an extremely talented pervert, which he is - all the discussion about his image and iconic status have blocked his merits as a singer, composer, and guitarist. That is just too bad.
Like the last "hits" album every tune here is fantastic. My favorites are the ones I discussed above - especially "Little Red Corvette" and "Purple Rain", though I've also got a soft spot for "Raspberry Beret".
