A more disliked song than Jughead

Hey,is there a more disliked song on a Prince album than Jughead. All I hear are people bashing. I'd probably have to join you too, a very weak song on an excellent album.

I thought this was another threat about GOD (Vocal version). It is probably #1 on my tracks to avoid playing for people who I want to impress.

i don't mind jughead actually boxed, push is probably my least favorite from diamonds and pearls. one song that always gets love for some reason, but i never liked personally, is pheromone disbelief lurking.

And different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on and scooby dooby doo-bee

Easy....Courtin Time.
And " I Like Funky Music".
And of course Wedding Feast, though that one doesn´t really count, does it?
There are worse songs than Jughead.Diamonds and Pearls seems to be very disliked among the fans here but I like it a lot. It has a very contemporary yet timeless sound,contemporary because of its lyrics ( Live 4 Love and its anti-war lyrics written from the perspective of an American bomber pilot during the Gulf War...brilliant !) , and timeless because songs like Insatiable and Strollin´could be on any Prince album...sure, all the Tony M rapping is very early 90s and old school HipHop heads like me will always dislike Tony´s contributions but other than that, it´s a great album.
I like the song Diamonds And Pearls, I also like Live 4 Love, Thunder, Strollin ( love it and can´t understand the hate for this little gem ), Money Don´t Matter 2Nite, Gett Off, and the lyrics of Push and Walk Don´t Walk ( the music is so so) , and Willing and Able is also nice. Cream is cool, too but reminds me too much of that Marc Bolan/T-Rex song .
All in all, a great album that gets a lot of flack for several reasons, like adding Tony M and so on, but then again, in retrospect, Tony M was a nice person and I really liked him on Call The Law, 2gether and some of that Goldnigga stuff even though he really ruined most of the D&P album and the album that followed it.

no no no! I don't like when people use absolutes like EVERYone and NO one.

I happen to like that song.... I think the sentiment behind it is wonderful.
Trust me, I have plenty of taste.

People like different things. I read through lists sometimes and think, rolleyes at people's choices.
I happen to hate "Little Red Corvette", "America" and "When 2 R in Love". Although I get the popularity of the 1st one, I can't understand why people rave over the 2nd two. But I would never say they don't have taste. confused

I'm with u on that. I'm not saying I LOVE Jughead, but Push is more annoying to me.

I don't think Jughead is that bad. I hate Tangerine, he sounds like a fairy tip-toeing thru the tulips! Yuck.

tangerine is okay but the music reminds me of a commercial for yeast infection medicine. "ask your doctor if tangerine is right for you..." nuts

I agree with this, Some of my favorite songs are ones that a lot of people seem to despise. Songs like "Strays of the World" , "The Arms of Orion" , "3 Chains o Gold" etc.

I don't happen to like "Jughead" does it make it a bad song! not really, just not to my liking. Other songs I happen to dislike "Housequake" "The Ballad of Dorothy Parker" "The Sacrifice of Victor" "I Know" "Solo" "Freaks on This Side" Etc. But with so much output, can Prince really hit it each and every time? No! At least he has such a diversified library of songs, that theres something for just about everyone, and still after almost 30 years in the business he can still produce new and good music consistantly and with relevance to todays music scene.

Wonderwall

Graffiti Bridge title track
&
3 Chains o Gold

The two biggest turds in Prince's songbook. Jughead is close behind.

Whoever said Friend, Lover, Mother, Sister...needs to get their head examined. Seriously.

I don't shit on your opinions, so I'd expect the same from U.
Operative word: OPINION.

I hate when people confuse their opinions with fact. Anyone who doesn't know the difference should have HIS OR HER head examined. SERIOUSLY.

Fair enough, but I thought that the big smiley face at the end of the statement would show that I was saying it goodnaturedly and with tongue planted firmly in cheek. Everyone with any sense would know that. lol (Okay, sorry, that was just a really smartass joke there...I really do respect your opinion.)

Thanks 4 the clarification. It's just that a lot of time, people on here put other people down for not liking the same things they like. I always get annoyed when I see "best ever" or "worst ever" because we don't all like the same things, so who decides?

No harm done. Cool? cool

Thank you! Finally someone else who can't listen to "Little Red Corvette" and "When 2 R in Love." I think I've just heard "Little Red Corvette" wayyyy too many times, and "When 2 R in Love" is just way too sappy.

Personally, I'm not a huge fan of "Starfish and Coffee" (just too...cute?) and any songs that are in the vein of "TMBGITW" and "Diamonds and Pearls." I just can't get into that Philly soul type sound.

Without a doubt the biggest stinkiest piece if turd Prince ever released has to be

WEDDING FEAST

In fact I think it could be the worst track ever made since the dawn of time
