Which b-side single was actually better than a song on the album ? 17 days and erotic city easily are better than take me with u ( needed for storyline purposes) She's always in my hair stronger than tamborine ( and I like tamborine) Others? | |

Irresistible Bitch is better than Delirious "Climb in my fur." | |

200 Balloons is better than Batdance, I think. (Batdance is a drug trip mess. Sorry.)
I actually wish both 200 Balloons AND Dance With The Devil would've taken the place of both Batdance and Trust, but what can ya do?
She's Always In My Hair is MUCH better than Raspberry Beret--and Raspberry Beret is a great song. She's Always In My Hair, though, is sheer and total GENIUS.
And Erotic City is HELLA (I dunno) better than Let's Go Crazy--and Let's Go Crazy is a GREAT song. But, just like She's Always In My Hair (recorded on the same day,) Erotic City is sheer and total GENIUS! "I never want to stop singing this song!" Prince in Montreal, 12/2/11, just before performing Purple Rain | |

Hell no!
raspberry beret is probably one of the greatest pop songs of all time.
the strings and melody are just outstanding
and so so shockingly diffrent from purple rain.
hell to the nizzaw
(shes always in my hair is still an outstanding track) | |

Well, I've always thought that if you'd put together the B-Sides from the 1999, Purple Rain and ATWIAD albums, you'd have one of the best Prince albums in your hands. Well, maybe I wouldn't put "Girl" on it.
"Alexa De Paris" is probably better than some of the stuff that's on Parade, but I think Parade is perfect as it is. For example, "Do U Lie?" is not a very strong song, but I'm glad he put a song like that on the album.
I think "I Love U In Me" is better than the A-side ("Arms Of Orion"). Then again, the songs that ended up on the Batman OST were hardly the best he wrote during that era. "200 Balloons" and "Feel U Up" might be stronger than some of the tracks on the album as well.

WELL...lol
I have started to love 'The Arms Of Orion' but I think it would work better as a B-Side and 'I Love U In Me' on the album.
'She's Always In My Hair' Would be awesome on 'ATWIAD' But I really don't know what I would exchange that for? I guess....'The Ladder'. I love that soing, but I think it would be better as a B-Side; although that would PERHAPS BE 'Too Preachy' for some.
Finally, Erotic City would do awesome on Purple Rain Rather than 'Baby I'm A Star'..I THINK..lol. It's Button Therapy, Baby! | |

I seriously dont get the hate or feelings of it being a throwaway while many people like that 200 Baloons song.
Is it the instrumentation on Girl that folks hate? Is it to whimsical sounding?
that chug-chug beat is badass
Girl is tight! (pun unintended) "Climb in my fur." | |

but i can see why some people wouldnt love it...*well actually i cant*

you know what I mean...I explained it already..but
no there arent exactly folks going out and burning crosses on Girls lawn..denying Girl access to basic needs..refusing to let Girl buy property in certain areas...folks on a Girl hunt to shoot n bury it...using voodun to hex or put roots on Girl...
but I bet u theyd never lick the vinyl/cd of it etc etc etc "Climb in my fur." | |

I just don't like Batdance. Unless I smoke some weed first.
It definitely makes the video more fun.
And I didn't say Raspberry Beret was a bad track. I LOVE Raspberry Beret. I just love She's Always In My Hair more. I find it a lot more genius than RB. "I never want to stop singing this song!" Prince in Montreal, 12/2/11, just before performing Purple Rain | |

"and Let's Go Crazy is a GREAT song."
Just saying.
Let's Go Crazy is kind of like everything else on Purple Rain--WAY too overplayed. "I never want to stop singing this song!" Prince in Montreal, 12/2/11, just before performing Purple Rain | |

"Scarlet Pussy" is better than the album version of "I Wish U Heaven," in my opinion, which is ironic considering that was the A-side of the same single. However, the 12-inch version of "I Wish U Heaven" is a work of pure genius that blows most everything out of the water. The Census Bureau estimates that there are 2,518 American Indians and Alaska Natives currently living in the city of Long Beach. |

Most all of them up to and including Lovesexy were stronger than at least one song on the album...not a tough call. | |

Violet The Organ Grinder was better than Jughead or Push.
Infact take our Jughead and replace it with Get Some Solo
Then take out Push and replace it with Violet The Organ Grinder [Edited 2/20/12 14:46pm] | |

Totally agree
I love Shockadelica more than U Got the Look, but not more than IIWYG.

She's Always In My Hair, it was b-side for both Rasberry Beret & Paisley Park neither of which I care for. But Violet The Organ Grinder takes the cake, becuase Jughead is 1 of the most cringe worthy P songs. "How Can I Stand To..Stay Where I Am? Poor Butterfly Who..Dont Understand." P | |
