I tried. I just can't do it. First to mind was "She's Always in My Hair" but .... "Do Me Baby... I mean... Billyjack.... Irrisistable B.... huh I mean... If I Was Ur Girlfriend...Lady Cab Driver... Shut up already Damn!!!!


I can't do it.

If I had to probably "Days of Wild" but like many you really can't pick one!
MS

I guess we all agree, Favorite Prince jams are like Lay's chips. Cant eat just one, lol

A lot, but at the top of my mind.

"Computer Blue" the complete version.

If I Was Your Girlfriend, Sexy M.F., Question Of U, Pop Life, Gett Off and so much more
If I had to choose just one that would be "Controversy". An incredible hook, incredible lyrics...what else can I say

one? that's like goin into a godiva store with a wad of money and u can only buy just one package of chocolate....

A tie between Joy In Repetition and The Ballad Of Dorothy Parker. It just the sheer sounds of the songs that define Prince to me. They are both smooth, sexy, and mysterious and it doesn't get better than that.

Geezus this is hard! But I guess I'm gonna say Poom Poom. I always put it on when I'm driving home from work when I've had a good day. Then I start dancing all retarded in my car and people laugh at me. And I love the beginning part "What am I gonna do" ahhh I friggin love that!

I tried, I just can't do it:cry: There's atleast 20, I can't pick one. Over 300 melodies to choose from.

Blue

"The password is, WHAT!"

All you guys who picked "Joy in Repetiton" are truly cool. That song is awesome and so different. The hand claps and the "hey's" make it for me. That really takes a music fan to appreciate it, it's so weird.

[bold] The Ballad of Dorothy Parker
(that beat hypnotizes me everytime I hear it)

Days Of Wild... it's just a killer live!
Though I must admit that the studio version doesn't quite cut it (I can't put my finger on exactly why)

I know this isn't the deepest Prince song ever, but I always go back to D.M.S.R.!!!!! I've been a fan since Controversy, so maybe it's because soon after that 1999 came out? I don't know, but I have so many videos of him doing that live, and it's just the jam, so much fun! Ever see the Purple Rain Rehearsal show? Tell me that when he does DMSR at the end that that isn't one of the best moments of Prince on video. Too Funky!!!

I'm with you! I just read your response after I posted mine, to see if anyone else loves this jam. Right ON!

Only one....dang that's hard. I will say that "I wanna be your lover" is a jam that is timeless and always funky!!
That song is just so....."Oh lawd now I gotta go break out the cd and play it".

DMSR said:

Mmh, I think that's not the song, u meant. 'Hand claps and 'Hey's'' r in the song 'The question of U'. Right??

Hmmmmm... Irresistible Bitch (perhaps!) Just listen to Wendy play that funk guitar intro on the live cut... Just that alone is a jam in itself isn't it???

soulpower said:

I'm well aware of that. But I love the way he did it on Jam Of The Year Tour

NOT POSSIBLE

fav jam,

must be played live,
than it's difficult but my altime favorite jam's are:

America (you know played in france for de clip)
Forever in my live (sign of the times movie version)

but as I have to pick one I choose most def

HEAD

never heard a bad liveversion of this one.
(and it's good giving and getting )

EDD.

housequake

Housequake....the song is funny as shit and fuckin' smokes...that big, hard, loud funky drumming is immediately infectious....and love that "Shut Up already, damn!!" that kicks it off...as well the "needle-stuck-at-the-end-of-the-lp" sound effect tacked onto the very end...and the synthesizer chords are eerie as hell, too...just everything about that song championed Prince as the coolest, funkiest, baddest, most creative fucker around...

Everybody shut up!...Listen 2 the band...

Pick just one fav? Hmmmm, can't do it~

Well-spoken Wellbeyond (+ props 2 all the votes 4 JIR, Gett Off, Dorothy Parker etc.)

"She's Always in My Hair"...no questions asked, no second thought. The song is Prince at his best. Nuff said

Mountains (the extended version from the 12")

That was one of my favorites before I heard the long version and getting over 5 more minutes of excellent solos in the extended version really made my day when I first heard it.

Others have felt like they were my favorites over the years, but none have weathered time like Mountains has, for me.

I fell in love with P musik with it...

THE POPE

For a true jam, my favorite right now seems to be the extended version of Billy Jack Bitch. The horns at the end are enough for me to make it one of Prince's best songs ever.

For favorite song, though, not just jam- I'd probably say Love 2 the 9s or I Hate U.
