TOP 1200 CHOICE TRACKS

#580 RASPBERRY BERET Prince & The Revolution
'Around the World in a Day' was the follow-up album from Prince to his mega-successful 'Purple Rain' soundtrack. "Raspberry Beret",  featured on the LP, was written and produced by Prince and harks back to the psychedelic pop of the 1960s. Issued as a single in 1985, the track peaked at #2 in the US and New Zealand. It was also a Top 10 hit in Canada.

This is a list made up of the songs I enjoy the most, ranked in order of preference: the higher we go, the more I cherish them. Some were released as singles, others as album tracks. Some are obscure; others were worldwide hits or have universal appeal. They aren't always the most famous or popular, but simply a personal choice. I have excluded songs from the last few years in order to get a better idea of a song's lasting impression. I hope you find some new tracks to love, or re-discover some past favourites.
To mark the occasion of reaching the halfway mark for this special countdown, a new song will be added on the hour all day today (in place of this week's Mid Week Bonus).
