When I heard this song, I thought it was made in the 1980s. It just had a nostalgic sound (especially Michael B's drum beats).

"Cream" sounds 1991 to me.

The guitar effects sound 90's, I think.

Early 1990s, jangly and poppy, less keyboards and synths than you would expect on 80s pop and more of dancing and funky beats you get with 90s music.

.

It's just a perfect early 90s Prince pop gem. Apparently he wrote it in late 1990.

The real muscular drums have kept the track sounding alot fresher then other pop songs from around that period. Just praise the lord no Tony M on this one.

"Look up in the air, it's Tony M"....

"NPG making Peaches and Cream, we got our own idea's!........."

It borrows heavily from that Marc Bolan song, so I´d say 70s, updated for the 90s.

Not one of my favorite songs, never understood why it charted so high.

Well, it sounds exactly like "Bang a Gong (Get it On)" by T-Rex (as well as alot of other T-Rex jams) so I'd say it sounds like a 70's song with 90's production.

Get it On is itself a knowing lift of Little Queenie by Chuck Berry so.... I guess it sounds like a 50's song.

It sounds like "Prince" to me, aside from his very early stuff, most of his music transcends time, you really cant place it in a decade.

Your post reads like an edited, rewritten, better and more accurate version of my post above.

Early 90's music still had an 80's feel to it

True. That's what it really sound like... really retro. But with modern effects and mastering.

I looooove that song and I've never correlated these two.

Seriously?

I´m surprised.

Are there any Prince songs at all that remind you of other songs?

For instance, when I hear Laid Back´s White Horse, I can´t help but think that it inspired Erotic City, which came out a bit later than White Horse. Then again, I´m not sure whether Laid Back might have been inspired by Prince by hearing Erotic City before it was released, because from what I know they met at some point and I´ve also read about a When Doves Cry single with a Laid Back song as the b-side. Maybe I should start a thread and ask the org.
