Tough choice! But I (gun-to-my-head and arm-twisted-behind-back choice) have to vote off "She's always in my Hair".

I still hear "Erotic City" at least once a week if not more on radio.

No fucking way. 17 Days should've totally won. And I know it's probably most fans' favorite too.

My vote toes to She's Always In My Hair.

I think "17 Days'' is repetative (the melody) and lame .

I say "Erotic city" and "She's always in my hair" should never be voted off !!
It makes no sense .
It's just impossible to say which one is better .

I don't know how you're going to tally this one...some people can't READ...

there's clearly a mixture here of people who are listing the one they want VOTED OFF and people who list the one they want to WIN. So good luck with the tally...you might need to start over. Did we forget the format?

Now then. On to my impossible decision.

I think EROTIC CITY is more of a "classic" and probably Prince's most famous b-side...even people who are casusal fans are familiar with it. It has the better groove and is a part of the funkiest of Prince's funk works...

...but I'm going to be brave and VOTE OFF "EROTIC CITY."

I just think "She's Always In My Hair" is the better song. Lyrically, it blows the sophomoric "Erotic City" out of the water. And stylistically, it's much more complicated in instrumentation than "Erotic City." While "Erotic City" might provide me with a bigger emotional payoff (that of OH SHIT, IT'S PARTY TIME!) whenever I hear it, I just think that when you stand back and weigh the pieces of each song, you're left with "She's Always In My Hair" as the stronger song all around.

Sniff!

I hate B-side Survivor.

Great songs shouldn't compete against each other.

Erotic city is such a badazz tune, I can even get into it instrumental. I so hoped Prince would have played just a melody of EC... I don't need the lyrics and in fact the lyrics are just the icing... the meat of this song is that bass line!

Well I have cast my vote already, but just a note to add about "She's Always In My Hair"...

Some people in previous rounds and I dare say in this final showdown too have banged on about the innuendo in "She's Always In My Hair". For those people I do feel a little sorry, for clearly they have never had a close friend to whom they have loved for their soul as well as their body.... well Ok, it's hard to explain, but I have so yay for me. And I miss her too.

Last word.
