It has to be The Big Pump from George Clinton's terrrible Hey Man Smell My Finger album on Paisley Park. It pains me to say it because I love and respect Dr Funkenstein

Yeah, there were some real stinkers coming out in the early 90s, he was on auto-pilot I think, they'd want his name on their record, he'd want a royalty cheque.

That Dale Bozzio song that was released last year on iTunes was a load shit, sounded like a Carmen Electra off-cut.

I think 90s Prince gets a bad rap. Some of his best work is in the 90s. Gold Experience, Diamonds and Pearls, , Emancipation, and even Choas and Disorder and NewPowerSoul had plenty of moments of pure brilliance and unbridled genius. One can not deny the strength of songs like The One, THe Most Beautiful Girl in the World, Dolphin, Dinner with Delores, I Hate U - flawless and easily stands next to anytthing Prince did in the 80s.

They're all Prince songs, we're talking about tracks for other artists

"Wild and Loose"

I have a certain fondness for it, but Next Time Wipe the Lipstick Off Your Collar is pretty bad. I think it's kind of a poor attempt to re-create a vibe like You Don't Bring Me Flowers. Doesn't quite work. Even if it were done by a really good singer, I think it would be cheesy.

Oh, Lord. That did NOT make it any better.

Sorry but my vote goes to Manic Monday. That song sucks ass and whatsherface can't sing her way out the shower. Most of his stank songs were probably written for some female he was banging or wanted to bang. What was that crap he wrote for Kim Basinger?

I'd say "Toy Box" by Sheila E is about the worst.

I can understand that the sung verses might be experienced as kinda flat, though that part doesn't bother me,

and the instrumental fills of bass and synths (especially towards the end) are funktional eargasms to me

"My Summertime Thang" by The Time is a crappy tune.

I agree with that. And yet I love "The Latest Fashion."

I love the conversations at the end!

Kim, U ain't gonna believe it
The guys from The Time are right behind U

Are U serious?

No, I'm not.. look, I.. I mean yes I am! Over there

Oh my God
Can U believe it? Look

Should I look?
Should I go over and see if he remembers me?
Oh yeah

But what should I say?
Say somethin'!

I feel the opposite. Don't like "The Latest Fashion" at all (or any of The Time songs on Graffiti Bridge really). Love "My Summertime Thang". There's a bridge or something in there that makes the whole song and is totally missing from "The Latest Fashion". As a result, it sounds like a pale copy to me.

One song that was always like nails on a blackboard for me was The Family's "Nothing Compares 2 U". It's the only song on their album I don't like. Too overwrought and disjointed. I was shocked that Sinead actually made her cover listenable.

But I know no one will agree with me here.

I agree with you The Family's version of that song is a snoozefest.Sinead's version is a major improvement.

Then you love shrill pitchy music.

"U" for Paula Abdul.

...and the whole T.C. Ellis album.

I would have said that if I hadn't heard the original version of the song which rocks!

There's an original P-version? Where?
