While the title track for his landmark album made a huge impact on music and pop culture (as well as last year’s countdown), this next song showed how prolific a songwriter this artist really was. It’s a great precursor to what would be coming soon in the following year. It has remained one of my favorite songs from him, and hearing it live when I was 6 years old was life-changing. Our next song coming in at #18 is Little Red Corvette by Prince.
