What a ridiculous comparison!

Uptown Girl for me, but only by a notch.

I like both songs but of course I prefer "Uptown".

That's not being very fair though asking a question like that on a website for Prince fans.

Billy joels hands down- better (if very gay) video too! I don't like "Uptown"- that new wave like shit sounds crappy to me...voice sucks on that too- better NOT sung in falsetto! Thankgoodness he soon got to making epic-wall of synth sounding killers like "1999" and even more hip hop like (produvtion wise) tracks like "D.M.S.R"


Obvious title race Guns and roses "November rain" vs "Purple rain"

Honestly though "3 chains o' gold" vs "November rain" eh? pretty good huh!
