If you got one, of course

Musicology, The Work part 1, Strange relationship, Purple rain gett off and erotic city. Not to mention xcogitate.

"Crucial." The first time I heard it, I was like, "What the hell is the big deal?" It struck me as a generic ballad with sappy lyrics.

Then I heard it a few more times and it just hit me. I freakin LOVE this song to death. "I ain't sayin' you're better baby, but I ain't sayin' you're not!" Absolute classic.

Purple Rain and KISS

Most of them struck a chord instantly. I didn't really dig Delirious the first time I heard it.

"i would die 4 u" used to creep me out a bit.

"Cream." I hated it and just felt it had nothing to offer. It took a while to grow on me.

Condition Of The Heart irritated the hell out of me at first.

money don't matter 2night. still don't like it actually.

Honestly...

1.) Little Red Corvette
2.) Rasberry Beret
3.) Purple Rain
4.) 1999

Now theyre all my favorite---(Except Rasberry Beret....)

And I raised an eyebrow to the entire Lovesexy experience at first.

Rain is WHAT?

i HATED If I was your Girlfriend for the longest time. I thought it was a waste of space and a joke. When I heard it was the 2nd single from SOTT I about had a coronary. I remember very clearly calling my best friend - also a Prince fanatic - in disbelief. (We also got into a fight one time over the phone, because he said he bought the 45 and the B-side was called "Shockadelica", and He got mad because I didn't believe him and I insisted he was pulling my leg.... but I digress).

But of course I warmed up to it... to say the least. Now I consider it one of his finest achievements.

Of course, as a 14 or 15 year old when SOTT came out, I guess I didn't quite "get" it.

Most of Parade threwme off until I listened several times. Now I realise how groundbreaking the sound really was.

The song "It". It took awhile to grow on me. I think the last half of the song rocks with the computer drum rolls and the orchestra in the background. Some fans think this song is a filler on SOTT, but i like it.

Ballad of Dorthy Parker. I used to skip it and thought it was a boring song, but as I got older it grew on me.

"Rave onto the joy fantastic"- the song that is! Good early morning getting readt to go to work song- only in the mid morning though!(?)


"The holy river"- sounded great (title wise) but didn't like it at first-put it straight to walkmen anyway- gave it a 2nd chance "and then it hit me like a....." errrrr anyway, I was walking down the street and song and words got to me, just passing people normally in the street-quite touching actually, then I loved it.....possibally Prince's "deepest" song that I can realte too.....

KISS. I was 13. The DJ announced that he was about to play the "new" PRINCE song. I immediately ran to get a blank tape and started recording. An hour (!) later, this weird "demo" came through the speakers. Just a guitar lick, a simple drum beat and a high voice. I was horrified. "What!!?" My Mom laughed. "What is he doing?," she said. "Turn up the bass." I did, thinking that would solve the problem. It didn't. The song didn't have a bass part. I played it over and over trying to get into it. I played it for my cousin. "It's so plain!," she said. I told her that I loved it, though I secretly thought that my hero had fallen. I was depressed. Until a few days later, when I heard it in a passing car. It hit me like a ton of bricks. "OH!" Genius! Weeks later EVERYONE was playing it. I anxiously awaited PARADE. I went through the entire experience again. "What?!!!"....."OH!" Unfortunately, years later, I'm still in the "What?"-stage with UNDER THE CHERRY MOON.

WHEN DOVES CRY

My name is Prince..I was kinda embarrassed of this song at first. now I play it loud in my car sometimes. I think its dramatic and loud.

When I Would Die 4 U was out as a single, I would hear
it on the radio and....

Cream
The Ballad of Dorothy Parker

I never liked purple rain in the beginning, and by the looks of it from these post I think the song is one that you have to let grow on you.

Diamonds & Pearls & The Most Beautiful Girl In The World I still really do not care for those songs.

If I didn't like it then, chances are I probably still don't

The first time I heard Adore, I was not very impressed. Keep in mind that it had a LOT to live up to, since everyone on the org had been raving about it being the best love song EVER etc etc etc. But now I love it.

Musicology, 3 Chains 'O' Gold, Partyup, Computer Blue, Paisley Park, Batdance and Let's Go Crazy.

When Doves Cry
Pink Cashmere

I wasn't too fond of 'KISS'

'how come u dont call me anymore" a little boring the very first time, after that it got better and better , and the finger snap live in concert, classic.
