It's definitely in the bottom 10, along with the 1 U wanna C, Lion of Judah, Until U're in my Arms Again, 4Ever, Hot Summer and Purple and Gold.

1 U Wanna C is a GREAT pop song! Totally fluff with a killer hook. And it was perfectly produced.

I don't understand the hate for that song. From the get go i got that it wasn't ment to be serious so i enjoy it for what it is. Now jughead sucks, bad !

Everybody's got different tastes! I can't take that song.

Man, A lot of those aren't even close to being on my list.

Wedding Feast.
Everyone loves me (is on there)..

Jughead is pretty lame.

1+1+1 is 3. -- This song is groovy live, and the intro is sooo funky on the album,

but then I want to hide when he starts with shake your pants and

we don't give a DUCK... By the time the banished one's chant comes on I've moved

on.

I'm with you on that. I really can't listen to it.

Everybody Loves Me? I think it's pretty good fun. My daughter loves it too : )

Me too. And 'All The Midnights....'

Different strokes and all that - every Musicology and 3121 appreciation thread makes me want to vomit acid through my eyes.

I'm teaching my 6 year old boys the works of Prince.

There favourites?

Everybody Loves Me

No More Candy 4 U

1999

Guitar

Purple and Gold

Starfish and coffee (they think its funny)

Gold

Turn Me Loose

Maybe there is a simplicity that works.

Personally, I really like Everybody loves me. Its fun, and more enjoyable that the likes of Horny Toad and Jack U off.

Everybody Loves Me is Prince cracking a joke (I fucking hope so anyway!) whereas No More Candy 4 U sounds like he means it. Musically they're about the same. Both fickle, short and catchy.

Everybody Loves Me > Mr Blobby > Hot Summer.

I reckon nearly all kids love starfish and coffee. Brilliant pop music.

I just heard "Hallucination Rain" for the first time. Hmmmm, that might be a song that no one in the world thinks is his best ever.

They do! My daughter picked it to play at a RODEO last year! (She was 14 at the time.)

Me too. The middle eight is spotty, but the verses and melody are just awesome, to say nothing of the guitar playing and production thereof.

I think 'Hallucination Rain' is awesome. Musically, it ranks up there with P's most interesting works. The Exodus album kicks ass.

I don't think it's one of his worst songs.

It's a tongue-in-cheek piece and has a vibe that reminds me of Yo Gabba Gabba (I wouldn't be surprised if that was one of his inspirations for it along with some of the Controversy era songs).

Granted, I only heard it for the first time yesterday, and I heard it over my tinny little laptop speakers, but it sounded like a train wreck to me.

I was some kind of glad when it was over.

No. Everybody Loves me is not Princes' worst song. There are lots of other worse ones and some really funny bad ones.

Nah, that title goes to Purple & Gold and Neon Telephone and half that shit on Chaos & Disorder.

Other than those minor misses, the man is a genius and can do no wrong in the realm of music.

Neon Telephone????? That shit is good.

3 pages and Animal Kingdom has escaped recognition. I am equally surprised and disgusted.

I agree. The only problem with the CD is that Sonny T is singing lead vocal.

I can't believe someone had the nerve to say 'Neon Telephone' was a miss? As well as 'Hallucination Rain'! These are some of his best works! PERIOD!

The production on both of those songs are out of this world! Prince is really on a new level with those songs and so many!

Same goes for 'The 1 U Wanna C' what a great Pop song! He's made successful pop songs that have remained in the minds of those with great detail..Hahah

His worst song would have to be 'Never B Another Like Me' YUCK!

Everyday Is A Winding Road

The list goes on..He has made a couple. But the majority of his material with proper intent and detail are masterful.

There is a difference between a boring song such as "Everyday is a winding road" and a crap song. Chaos and Disorder is a boring album, but the songs aren't bad.

I'm gonna start a poll on the worst songs soon. I'll take the suggested titles for nominations. Any other songs for suggestions that can be listed?

Prince has A LOT of silly songs, not bad...just SILLY, but catchy and entertaining, ELM is a clear example

but Prince has some bad & boring songs that are beyond redemption, like Purple & Gold...

What Category is that shitty song then?

true, the songs that came to my mind were all just SILLY ones, not really 'bad.' I enjoy listening to ALL of Princes' music The light hearted entertainment found on some of his releases, like Crystal Ball, include a fun perspective and playful mood in his well rounded catalogue. imo

a bit off topic. But...

I Batdance.... a lot more than Everybody Loves Me.

Batdance:

1. great rock-funk jam,

2. great guitar solo....

3. the dialogue is imo fantastic - Jack Nicholson, big yeah!

I just had to defend this #1 single,

Oh! and btw:

4. great music video too.

"The MAIN problem with war is that nobody wins." Right. Way to minimize the ACTUAL big problems with war that aren't to be found on bumperstickers and/or other cliche propagators.
