Most underrated Prince song?

What do you think is the most underrated Prince song? I have to vote for Strange But True. Possibly also There Is Lonely. Your thoughts?

i'm gonna say 'walk dont walk' cuz so many drop it from their dnp personalized playlist but it's really one of the best tunes on the record .. and i'm gonna say 'solo' because it is so easy to wanna skip that song but if u listen it's really quite good

Interesting. I've never given WDW the proper attention. What should I listen for? It's always bugged the shit out of me. I'll give it another chance!

I dont kno if tis his MOST but its def one. Off the same album as Strange But True, is Silly Game. I see alot of ppl dont like it. But I really love this song. Song mad smooth, and chill. And the falsetto vocals are some of his best. Prince R&B

It's not underrated amongst fans, but "Space". More people should know about this song.

Universal Love (with or without rap) is stellar. No pun intended.

Pink Cashmere.

I came acrossa tribute album in iTunes the other night and played their cover version of this track and HOLY CRAP...it makes you appreciate what Prince did. No offense to the cover band, but man...this just wasn't something that should have been attempted.

I don't know how underrated it is, because I honestly never hear anyone say anything about it, so maybe most people just think it's average (or maybe they think it's just a hair above Purple and Gold), but I agree with King Sausage that There Is Lonely deserves consideration for this title. I think it's a very fine track.

How good do you think it is? I'd guess it's in the top 20 for almost everyone--is it just head and shoulders above everything else?

I really like My Computer. I really don't throw it in the category of these technology-nod songs Prince does, like emale, clouds, etc. It's got a good progression and really seems to show that Prince songwriter that I love...how he just kind of goes with his instinct and gets deep and lost in his own world, and in the end creates something really unique but full of his spirit. I would say the same spirit was brought out in Walk Don't Walk, so I'll vote for that one too.

I love My Computer. It's got some real cheese, but the emotions are raw in a way Prince doesn't do often.

Calhoun Square? Does that count? I think it's a classic but I hardly see it referenced much either way, good or bad, so I'm not sure how many people here like it. I'll throw "What's My Name" in there too because that one-two punch is my favorite part of Crystal Ball.

These are both good choices too.

Purple & Gold.

Add a baseline and a dance beat and it's a hit all over the world.

This is one of my favourite Prince tracks. And it has Kate Bush on backing vocals!
