Prince's Worst Ballad

IMHO, "Diamonds and Pearls". "Dogshit and Pearls", more like. Crap lyrics, corny melody, constipated guitar...he's written some of the greatest ballads of all time, but this ain't one of them....

I can't agree. I know a little bit about music so check this out in the song:

The bass line and the drums play 2gether. What I mean is that the drummer almost plays the same rhythm as the bass player.

I dunno, I've always liked Diamonds and Pearls. The lyrics are bland, but that don't affect the song too much IMO. One of the many good Prince hits, definately.

Hmm im not sure but he has got some bad one's. I would probably say adore is one of his worst just cause it's so overrated, and that makes it more annoying.

Extraordinary barf

I can't even remember what it sounds like past the awful "EX....straw....DIN....eeeerry" of the first line.

I've also never really liked Insatiable either.

Arms Of Orion--no controversy here.

The other picks are pathetic. Prince is usually at his best, ballad wise.
All you others say Hell Yea!! woot!

Without a doubt, Slow Love, followed by that Lionel Richie-flavored Arms of Orion.

I love Diamonds and Pearls, it's one of my fave Prince songs. I don't really like Adore. It's a bit too boring for me.

The Arms of Orion. This song sucks!

It's too slow and old school for me. I mostly prefer modern(ish) music, 80's and onwards. I'm a modernaire just like ol' Dez.
