The Gold Experience version of The Most Beautiful Girl in the World is a pile of shat!! He had remixed the damn song in so many incarnations that it is easy to forget the original is still the best.  I never liked Sweet Baby either. The opening sounds like a poorly recorded karaoke song. Wanna hear me sing?  www.ChampagneHoneybee.com | |

Can U feel it? Yeah { Let me take it around } { Let it all hang out } yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Welcome 2 Satisfaction Please remain awake until the aircraft has come 2 a complete stop Thank U 4 flying Prince International Remember, next time U fly, fly the International Lover  Hahaha, that song is an all-time classic. I can't tell you how many times that song..umm...helped sumbody get sumwhere... "I *wiiiiilllll* auTOmaTICaly drop down to apply moah..." Ain't that the truth. | |

Time for me 2 get flamed.....
I have to say, the worst Ballad is a tie between 2morrow and.... drum roll, please..... Do Me, Baby. Sorry people, but this song don't do nuthin' 4 me anymore. _________________________________________

Solo was not written by him, thank God. M First of all, Solo was off of Come, and WAS written (lyrics) by Prince. It is not Accapella. There is music, but not much. Second, I kind of like the song. Can relate to the feelings he has in it. "Solo the curb looks like a skyscraper... So High the clouds are underneith... So quiet I can hear the blood rushing thru viens.. Solo I feel like I'm going Insane." CLASSIC. _________________________________________

But I'm also not crazy about: Let's Have a Baby Who the hell wants to have a baby with someone who sounds like little Richard on helium pouting? Arms is the one but Lets Have a Baby is beautiful | |

Never listened to the lyrics; just love the SOUND of it. Now that I read what they are, the song's even cooler. It reminded me of one of my all-time favorites: "GOD"

worst ballads:
1)insatiable: 
2)on the couch.after seeing him perform this song acoustic on the la staples dvd i was on the floor lmao....WHEN I WASN'T SUPPOSED TO.
3)still waiting: "elevator music" 
now...for those of you who think that "forever in my life" ain't the shit ? 
my recommendation: go find the infamous 1988 aftershow where he did this song...you'll change your mind real fast.and where he did "just my imagination"...this brought tears to my eyes as it was the ULTIMATE mind fuck on guitar. if you don't have this in your collection....  ....YOU PLAYED YOURSELF. | |

Whoa! I never realized so many hated "Arms of Orion"... I always liked that song. My pick for worst ballad is "Adore" | |

Sorry,  guess you're not able to comprehend. That song was definitely one of his classics. | |

A few I agree with:
Arms Of Orion - the worst! Silly Game - is it just me, or does the opening music remind you of an 80's sitcom, like Growing Pains or Family Ties? Love Song (with Madonna) - bad harmonizing and just poor production value! Also brings to mind the two of them together, which is actually NOT sexy! A few I disagree with: Girl - pretty much all PR/ATWIAD b-sides are amazing and sacred, this one too! I especially love the extended version. Adore - untouchable, the perfect closing track to SOTT. Man O' War - although I don't rank this anywhere near the top, I think it's a very heartfelt breakup song. It is definitely tied to that late 90's era, but it's cool. |

Man O War was sooo for Mayte
can't you just see her breakin that gold chain and throwing it on the floor. They had probably been fightin and fightin...and she walked out again and that time he didn't go get her. Probably the best move for them both.

With all his moaning and whatnot it make you feel he is doing you right there in front of God and everybody. When it comes to funk, i am junkie | |

-THE END- Is this thread going to be closed now? Because I've just clicked on it for the first time, haven't read any other nominations, but it doesn't matter because it's not even debatable.  It can ONLY be "Arms of Orion".

Worst ballad that comes to mind for me is 'Let's Have A Baby'. It's just too dripping with sentimentality, musically it's awful, and in the light of what happened, it is a reminder that love doesn't conquer all. [Edited 9/23/05 13:21pm] | |
