For it's emotional and spiriual intensity, I wouls have to pick "Horny Toad".....

A tie between "Another lonely Christmas", "Adore" and "The Beautiful ones"

Smooches;)

There are so so many great songs by Prince, but the one
that I think is his greatest and the one that means the most
to me is If I Was Your Girlfriend

I used to make lists and lists of my fav songs from him....here we go:

Favorite Jams:
1. Let's Go Crazy
2. Gett Off
3. Anotherloverholeinyohead

Favorite Mid Tempos:
1. Mountains
2. Ballad Of Dorothy Parker
3. Computer Blue (well, its mid tempo kinda)

Favorite Ballads:
1. Insatiable
2. Sometimes It Snows In April
3. Adore


ALL TIME FAVE: IF I WAS YOUR GIRLFRIEND (Lets go crazy is a CLOOOOOSSEE #2)

17 Days for me....


(although, I'm listening to Moonbeam Levels right now and that's so high on the list as well!)

That's it. That's gotta be the one!

I still say this is the best one. I don't know why everyone here doesn't agree with me.

The Beautiful Ones

It's an impossible question, I simply can't answer

and while we talkin' b-sides you gotta give it up for

EROTIC CITY

and hands down BOB GEORGE is the most audacious song i ever heard


yeah right, it might be little but its LOUD!

BabyBlue said:

Ok here's why...Wasted Kisses is a nicely multi-layered production, lots of sound effects that compliment what amounts to Prince in a RARE bitter mood, mourning the death of something...perhaps his relationship with Mayte (not sure) in an almost sarcastic fashion. He's so good when he's pissed.

BabyBlue said:

Many, many, many reasons...

Firstly the music. Its funky but its cold funky. It didn't sound like anything back then in 1987 and it still doesn't sound like anything else now.

I liked how the lyrics divided people. It's intentionally sexually ambiguous. Yes, its a love song from one person to another person whom has "girlfriends" they are closer to, but you can read it so many ways. It could even be a gay woman talking to another gay woman - which brings me to...

The "Camille" voice. I don't know why but I love all the songs with the speeded-up distorted voice. It seems to make the soundscape more cartoonish and less literal. Its like a Hanna-Barbera version of funk. I can't explain it.

The fact it was a single. Which other superstar at the time could have released an album-cut like this, as a single? Nobody. Prince was so out there. The stranger he sounded, the more I loved him.

Its the most bastardised Prince song - not covered, but bastardised. First there was the response song, "Girlfriend" by Pebbles but other artists have taken this track as their lead inspiration... "Come With You" by Millionaire... "Bonnie & Clyde" by Beyonce and Jay Z. I think it says more for a song that it inspires others as a starting point to create, rather than just cover it ad-verbatim.

It's Trip-Hop before the term was even coined.

It's a beautiful song.

On top of all that, I have the personal stuff that this song means to me.

Purple Rain
The Beautful Ones
Adore
Sometimes it snows in April

I was born in 1985, so I haven't heard all of his songs. Where can I find If Eye Was Ur Girlfriend? I've never heard it.

faniam said:

It can be found on disc 2 of the Sign O' the Times album.

Has to be Kiss , total perfection in 3 minutes , the perfect pop-song , catches your attention from the off , seduces you into listening further , gets you dancing , tickles you senseless then finally shags you rotten.

I shall state my opinion for the last time:



You don't believe me? Go and listen to it NOW!!!!!

Parents Just Don't Understand

Irresistable Bitch speaks to the feminist in me. I love the dissonant far-off bell sounds and the underground river mix of sounds and voices bubbling under Prince's spoken lines. I love the mix of beauty and meanness and the soft, lovely "ho, ho, ho, ho" by Wendy and Lisa. All in all, the song captures a complicated mood delicately expressed -- a submissive, hurting, loving, flying, funny, and proud adoration. It's brave, it's free, it's fabulous.

Thieves in the Temple because I like lonely songs.

Purple Rain is like God. Too big to grasp. Too magnificent to hold onto.

But the loveliest:

IF I WAS UR GIRLFRIEND

Come on Prince Fans!! Lets get some more opinions on this. So far, to me, it seems that If I Was Ur Girlfriend, Adore, and Purple Rain are most people's favorite songs. I want all of you people who are responding to this to say something! Don't be SCURRED!! But seriously, after I see which song is everyone's favorite, I'll start another post I know you all will like. So lets get these ballots in and a big THANK-YOU goes out to everyone who has responded thus far.











Baby Blue

Best Prince song ever made was "DO ME, BABY"....why? Have you seen the title? That's why.

I have to add Alphabet Street as one of my tops.

17 Days!!!!!

WHY YOU WANNA TREAT ME SO BAD?
