Most Recognized Song?

Which song do you think Prince is most recognized for:

When Doves Cry

Purple Rain

Lets Go Crazy

Little Red Crovette

Raspberry Beret

1999

I say Purple Rain. This has become Prince's signature song.

Without a shadow of a doubt its Purple Rain.

I'd add 'Kiss' to that list, and possibly 'The Most Beautiful Girl in the World'. For the UK, anyway.

Purple Rain. Everybody knows Purple Rain is Prince.

PR or WDC.

It's kind of weird, people always refer to PR, but then start singing WDC.

Purple rain, he once called it an albatross around his neck.


The word albatross is sometimes used to mean an encumbrance, or a wearisome burden.

PR and LRC

Purple Rain and 1999.

unfortunately PR

I cant stand when i mention prince and people say "Ah PR, that is a great song" it is f.....sad. I am very surprised P still plays it today and especially that he is capable of putting emotion into it, but he does, some of the versions he played of it at the O2 where unreal, where I actually liked the song again.

Purple rain
and
Kiss

The song most associated with Prince is Purple Rain.

But is it his most recognized song? I doubt it gets played on the radio anymore. I wonder if young people continue to learn it.

Kiss still gets played, though, and I Wanna Be Your Lover & 1999.

Purple Rain

The instant I heard Gold’s first note, it became Prince’s mark on my soul: a tattoo I wear with pride.
Prince is Dreamy, gives my Life that Pop and 2 the industry, he’s Royalty.
