The 1999 album is still my favorite from Prince.
Publicly, I'm not allowed to say that I like that Bonnie Tyler song, privately, between you and I, I can.
The Clash is good and Dirty Laundry, along with 1984's Boys Of Summer, are two good ones from Henley.

I can't overdo Michael McDonald. I need him in small doses, but his vocal on What A Fool Believes still gets me every time.
As a Doobie Brothers song I never would've imagined the tune was co written between McDonald and Kenny Loggins. Nice work guys.
"But he can still believe there's a place in her life, he never made her think twice. What a fool believes."

Midnight hour, almost over
Time is running out for the magic pair
I know you gave the best that you have
But one more chance
Couldn't be all that hard to bear.
Wait for me, please
Wait for me
Alright, I guess
That's more than I should ask
But won't you
Wait for me, please
Wait for me
Although I know the light is fading fast
Hall & Oates, Wait For Me
A great live version on YouTube with Daryl and Todd Rundgren doing this.

"Torches"
The soul of the nation slowly withers
(In the howl of the empty wind)
As the spring lays crushed beneath the hammer
(The invisible flame)
My vision sears the crowded square
(As the mouth of injustice grins)
This routed
(Fire runs through my veins)
I choose to expire
(As the steel in my nerve sets in)
You're all on the brink of compromise
(I carry the cries)
Mass concessions in defeated eyes
(In my end a new world begins)
A terrible kindness to break the thrall
(It's not me who dies)
I strike the match
And let it fall
Oppression, injustice, self-immolation
I am the inferno, I am legion.
Oppression, injustice, self-immolation
I am the inferno, I am legion.
I am... the inferno, I am... legion.
Some run screaming
Some sit silently
An agonizing gift of charred humanity
My footsteps
They will echo through eternity
A seismic scorching outcry of indignity
I write my blackened name, carved into the wind
I fill your hearts with rage
I leave you ash and legend.
(Fire runs through my veins...)
A terrible kindness to break the thrall
I strike the match
Fire runs through my veins
Oppression, injustice, self-immolation
I am the inferno, I am legion.
Oppression, injustice, self-immolation
I am the inferno, I am legion.

Overlord
You never proved me anything but right
You're all surprises, consistency, defied
An overwhelming sense of predictability
I don't say we slide into mediocrity
(Another day) spent buried in the shadow of your doubt
(Always the same) but still you refuse to figure out
You will destroy you
Distorted, tore yourself in two
Your will absorbed you
You can't ignore you anymore
A new time of declaration of distress
Strife, misery, and the pursuit of unhappiness
Endless complaining, no accountability
No reek of privilege and weightless tragedy
(Another day) spent buried in the shadow of your doubt
(Always the same) but still you refuse to figure out
You will destroy you
Distorted, tore yourself in two
Your will absorbed you
You can't ignore you anymore
Cry over the silken pillow
Clipped wings beneath a crooked halo
A perfect child who never looks at the mirror
Right in your face, but not any clearer
A problem hidden in plain view
Is staring right back at
You
All the world's a stage
But you are the only player
A black hole in the center of the universe, a dark cloud of despair
Caught in an endless rut
A crisis without solution
Someone should stitch your mouth shut
And solve your fucking problem
Strife
Another day in misery
Always the same
Strife
Another day in misery
Always the same
You will destroy you
Distorted, tore yourself in two
Your will absorbed you
You can't ignore you anymore

I like phrases that resonate. Not always whole songs.
-Mama always told me not to look into the eyes of the sun, but Mama, that's where the fun is.
-Driving along at 57 thousand miles an hour, look at those people standing on the petals of a flower, look at those petals pumping for a little bit of power.
-She's got her jaws now locked down in a smile, but nothing is all right. And I want something else to get me through this life.
- When you're at the end of the road And you lost all sense of control
And your thoughts have taken their toll
When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul
Your faith walks on broken glass And the hangover doesn't pass
Nothing's ever built to last
You're in ruins
-Low-down leaving sun
Done did everything that needs done. Woe is me, why can't I see I'd best be leaving well enough alone?
Them neon light nights, couldn't stay out of fights, Keep a-haunting me in memories
There's one in every crowd for crying out loud. Why was it always turning out to be me?
Thank god I am oblivious to the opinions of others while caught in the blinding splendor of my own cleverness.

I like the whole journey through both of those. The entire album is very well written and produced start to finish, but alas few here appreciate Randy's vocals. And by few I mean me.

Remember when the sound of little feet
Was the music
We danced to week to week?
Brought back the love, we found trust
Vowed we never give it up
Remember when?
Remember when thirty seemed so old
Now looking back its just a stepping stone
To where we are,
Where we've been
Said we'd do it all again
Remember when?
Remember when we said when we turned gray
When the children grow up and move away
We won't be sad, we'll be glad
For all the life we've had
And we'll remember when
Alan Jackson

I'm standing at the altar
As they play the wedding march
I'm in a black tuxedo with my collar full of starch
She looks as lovely as she's ever gonna get
I wake up from this nightmare in a pool of sweat

I met a boy wearing Vans, 501s, and a
Dope Beastie t, nipple rings, and
New tattoos that claimed that he
Was OGT,
From '92,
The first EP.
And in between
Sips of Coke
He told me that
He thought
We were sellin' out,
Layin' down,
Suckin' up
To the man.
Well now I've got some
A-dvice for you, little buddy.
Before you point the finger
You should know that
I'm the man,
And if I'm the man,
Then you're the man, and
He's the man as well so you can
Point that fuckin' finger up your ass.
All you know about me is what I've sold you,
Dumb fuck.
I sold out long before you ever heard my name.
I sold my soul to make a record,
Dip shit,
And you bought one.
So I've got some
Advice for you, little buddy.
Before you point your finger
You should know that
I'm the man,
If I'm the fuckin' man
Then you're the fuckin' man as well
So you can
Point that fuckin' finger up your ass.
All you know about me is what I've sold you,
Dumb fuck.
I sold out long before you ever heard my name.
I sold my soul to make a record,
Dip shit,
And you bought one.
All you read and
Wear or see and
Hear on TV
Is a product
Begging for your
Fatass dirty
Dollar
So, shut up and
Buy my new record
Send more money
Fuck you, buddy.
