Not everything he did in the 1980s was perfect. I never cared much for Tamborine either. It, Hot Thing...just doesn't move me.

The Black Album version is the exact same recording. Do you ever get tired of being wrong?

SoulAlive

*Tamborine---This is just a throwaway song that's a waste of space.He should have added the superior "She's Always In My Hair" to the album,instead of this mediocre song.

*"Temptation"---starts off with some amazing,Hendrix-inspired guitar,but nothing substantial follows.The spoken "conversation" with God is creepy and ridiculous.

*"Hot Thing"---I like the groove,but the lyrics are surprisingly pedestrian...."hot thing....baby you dance so good....hot thing....baby I knew you would"??? We all know that Prince can write better lyrics than that!

*"Dance On"---the only song on Lovesexy that I often skip.It sounds unfinished to me.

"I Wonder U": The studio version is just unmemorable, but the live version is gawd awful.

A lot of the songs I'll be listing are good, just not the ones I really care for... So no one assume I'm being blasphemous and saying the songs suck lol They're just not my favorites.

Dirty Mind:

Uptown (album version drags, but I dig the single edit)

Partyup (never liked this...horrid vocals)

.

Controversy:

Let's Work (sorry)

.

1999:

DMSR (can't stand this sometimes... )

All the Critics Love You in New York (it's okay. it's good in the context of the album)

.

Purple Rain:

[not possible]

.

Around the World in a Day:

Tambourine (first time bonafide crappy filler entered a Prince album; usually switch it out for Hello)

Pop Life (usually switch this out for Girl)

America (usually switch this out for She's Always in My Hair)

.

Parade:

Christopher Tracy's Parade (good only in the context of the album)

Girls and Boys (I like this one but a tad overrated)

.

Sign 'O' the Times:

It (noooo)

Housequake (lacks the energy of the live version)

The first 3 tracks (usually switch them out for live versions)

Adore (overrated... I can dig it, but still....)

IMO, most of SOTT's live versions beat the album versions' asses

.

Lovesexy:

Dance On (simply 'OK' song.. disappointing filler-sounding)

Lovesexy (it's good but way too busy and over-produced... began an era of overproduced music)

IMO, Lovesexy is closer to Batman/D&P/Symbol sound than it is to the 81-87 era work..

.

Batman:

Vicki Waiting (cool and mellow, but never dug it too much)

Maybe eye do, just not like eye did before pimp2

Ronnie Talk To Russia, the ending of Temptation and it's Gonna Be A Beautiful Night are the only 80's songs I don't care for

CALM YOUR TITS Einstein, I meant the fact that it's ALSO included in Lovesexy; since I'm not mad about this song to begin with, having it in two consecutive albums is tiresomne

Except they are not consecutively released albums, which is why the song appears twice.

Dude.... no no no!

I have to be in the right mood for Temptation, Slow Love is meh but not a bad song just taking up space a better track could've had and Lemon Crush is lazy. Other than that, and not to sound like a wackjob who says everything is a Masterpiece(TM), but I'm cool with everything from 70s/80s.
