FINALLY, someone who agrees with me!!!!!
Isn't it just awful?



S

Thank you for your opinion. It will be politely ignored. Please try to come up with more sensible topics for threads aside for casting an uninteresting personal comment on a single piece of work.

At least try a sarcastic non-thread -thread instead - just for example.

Definitely. It's not even 6PM and it's already getting dark in here.

This is a free place,i dont see nothing bad about desliking a song and discuss it at the org,i have nothing against you,but all the time you have something to say about others people opinion,you should learn to respect diferents opinions.
Love and peace;

There really is no need to start another new thread on any discussion board just to voice a personal opinion - especially without any interesting content or rationale included. If you desperately need to do it - fine - but it doesn't go with the netiquette. An opinion alone is not worth "a topic". Now of course there is amass of "lame-ass" threads here on the .org posted everyday - I am just as guilty as the next guy of having started a fair share of my own.

However there is an apparent growing tendency for the newcomers just to start pointless threads just for the sakes of starting threads. My own personal problem with this phenomenon is that such threads are usually negative in tone.

I like "The Pope", it's crazy and fun.... but let's be negative in an original way.... "Housequake" on the much lauded Small Club recording is horrible...

You need to get yourself the extended version.

"a loop is a loop is a loop a
a loop is a loop is a loop a"

it's great!

Maybe not the worst, but I agree, Pope is pretty dire.

Oddly enough, it's a song that a lot of non-fans I know like

You can be the pres-i-dent


It's cool, I think!

Well I LOVE the Pope and I am being perfectly serious.

How can you choose The Pope over God and Wedding Feast!!!

Life O The Party.

It's disgraceful. It doesn't even sound good enough to be on New Power Soul. It doesn't even sound good enough to be worthy of b-side status to Jughead.

Candy's vocals are annoying, the rap is just cringeful. It sounds so dated and horrible. Ruins what is otherwise a fairly strong album.

Awful. Awful. Awful. Truly fucking awful.

Other notable contenders:

We Gets Up
Da Da Da
Zanalee and I Rock Therefore I Am (I love C&D but these are just a pile of turd)
When U Love Somebody
Dance On (so over-rated)
Loose (God awful)
2045 Radical Man (way too preachey!)
Jughead (goes without saying, really...)
Here On Earth (yawn...)
Animal Kingdom (I just want to smack him when I listen to that...)

Those are the most offensive.

What a list!

we forgot "Cybersingle"

Anyone who says Ronnie Talk To Russia is gonna have me come out of their computer monitors and punch them, like in Ghost Dad!

Some more:

Jack U Off (fun for novelty, but shit all the same...)
Baby, I'm A Star (if it weren't on Purple Rain it wouldn't get no recognition. It's rubbish)
Cinamon Girl (sounds like a Bon Jovi record. And his falsetto on the bridge is really bad)
Blue Light (utter garbage)
Race (it's pretty damn awful)

I do actually like Prince. I love him. But lets face it, he's made quite a few absolute stinkers over the years....

PrimeraDama said:

I love that song!! It kicks ass! No, the worst P song is PUSH IT UP or maybe JUGHEAD.

Arms Of Orion
Graffiti Bridge
Push
Lemon Crush
Trust
Jughead
Solo
We March
Walk Don't Walk
The Flow
Rippopgodazipper
Lovesign
1999 TNM

there's loads more, but i'm feeling ill enough just typing these.

Novabreaker said:

Well put, 2 points for you

Worst Prince song has got to be

the first song off Rainbow Children with the deep voice tellin a story
also the Pope too

anybody heard Kamasutra -- did not Prince write those? oh my goodness!

goodness, it seems a lot of songs i like people don't like. wow. i LOVES Dance On, that song is not overrated at all, i just love the drums...and i like CyberSingle. what's wrong with CyberSingle? i admit, it could be better but i can listen and jam to it. and the Rainbow Children sounds like fucking elevator music. i don't even consider that a Prince album.

you ppl must be sick or sth...

I love We gets up 4 the guitar riff (come up with sth like that, dude)

Dance On - cool from the cool era

walk, dont walk with strollin and willin and able creates great relaxating tone

I guess u just don't understand Solo

We march and Lovesign tells great educative stories u obviously don't get

and finally Pope - cool funky rapping track...

There r songs i like and some I don't, but I don't announce the whole world it's the worst song just because it didn't hit my taste or my mood, think be4 u write sth as stoopid as that.

Baby, I'm a star! what a song! Especially the end! It's not a song of a genius, but it's cute and he is cute, too. Of course, it it wasn't on purple rain, it would hardly get recognition, but that is what albums are for anyway, so people can hear other songs instead of just listening to the HITS. Well, to me P's most awful song has to be, um, PEACH!

Graffitti Bridge

MattyJam said:

Oh my lord! You just picked 5 songs I really love.

I'm gonna get roasted for this, but my number one is Arms of Orion

This is followed by (sorry everyone), Scandalous, Insatiable, Jughead, Walk Don't Walk, Graffiti Bridge (AWFUL!), We Gets Up, Curious Child, Push and definitely the new master.
