Be a man! Everybody knows it's The Beautiful Ones. Either way, that Susannah had a tremendous impact on the little guy and great timing.

I simply refuse to pick, I can't do it

Adore is great,but it's a player showing off his word skills and trying to get laid. The Beautiful Ones is real.That is an impacftul song.THose emotions at the end are real and that tension that is built up and released.That's Prince being a man. That is hard as hell!You can't beat that.What man hasn't sorta been in that predicament and when you state your case that convincingly it's all over!That is the supreme beauty of the pain and glory of a man and woman in confusion and love and scared of the risk.But the man has to find that strength in himself and throw caution to the wind or else he'll lose the woman. I can totally identify.

Adore by a slim margin.

The Beautiful Ones!

Beautiful Ones

Love is too weak to define how I feel about those two songs... hmmm

ADORE (it's the back peoples love anthem according to Tavis Smiley)

The Beautiful Ones

Difficult question... It's like you force me to kill one of my children.

IfIWasYourGirlfriend (my third child)

Adore

for the words alone


until the end of time.....

well maybe not the ride...


pure devotion....she really impacted him..too bad it didn't last.

Do Me Baby

Adore has always been for me the quintessential Prince song. I am surprised by the mixed results of this thread.

Beautiful Ones! Adore almost sounds like a gospel song, the organ and the chorus in the background. And it sounds almost straight foreward without all the emotions of beautiful ones... like someone else said, when he goes into the do you want him...
I get goosebumps. Also the best part is:

"I may not know what I'm going to make, WOO! Lookit here, I said I may not know what I neeeed. (Guitar is screaming/pleading her also) One thing, one thing's for certain, I KNOW WHAT I WANT!"


funny, I have had this cut on replay on my CD player all week.

"The Beautiful Ones", without a shadow of a doubt. "Adore" has never grabbed me - in fact, as soon as "The Cross" finishes on "SOTT" I tend to stop it there.

The Beautiful Ones.

It's rare that raw emotion comes over in a song and The Beautiful Ones is positively dripping with the stuff. Sends a shiver down my back every time I lisen to it.

The Beautiful Ones

Very Very Tough... Both are my favorites!!!! But i am going to go for The Beautiful Ones.. It just holds a special place..

I do get the chills from Adore. (Also, gives me the fantasy that I can sing when I sing along.)

it's a tie. they're both great.

They both are excellent lyrically.
But musically, puts "The Beautiful Ones," up by a mile.
Adore is a bit boring musically, whereas "The Beautiful Ones," is a true epic with heart-pounding emotion pouring out in the last minute. Amazing!!!

"If God one day struck me blind ur beauty i'd still c"
"If u need me i'll never leave"
"Without u there is know me"
"Untill the end of time"
"love is 2 weak 2 define just what u mean 2 me"

"Thats why"

BEAUTIFUL ONES.
