Over 26 years, Prince has released outstanding albums.
"Sign "O" The Times, "Diamonds And Pearls, "The Rainbow Children" and "N.E.W.S." sounds so different - U could think, it was not the same artist, who released these albums.
But there are only a few songs, that sounds very similar 2 each other, like:

"One Of Us" and
"Love.. Thy Will Be Done" released by Martika.

Do u know more songs, who sounds like the same one?

"Tell me how u wanna b done" and "Sleep around"

-"200 Balloons" and "Batdance" (that's an obvious one)
-"What Do U Want Me 2 Do" and "Dorothy Parker" (have a similar vibe and Linn drum beat)
-"1+1+1 is 3" and "Erotic City" (similar beat and bass line)
-"Purple Music" and "All The Critics Love U In NY" (I'm guessing Purple Music was the forerunner to ATCLUINY)

Under the cherry moon & The question of U

'I'll die in your arms under the cherry moon'

&

'What is the answer to the question of U' sound a bit similar

Dazza I think my mother still thinks it´s the same song, I used to plau under the cherry moon on acoustic for her and once i was seeing the Prince live in Japan video and he played Question of U and she said something like "Look that sogn you always play"

i swear on my life i was gonna start the same thread but:
the beat from Glam Slam and ATWIAD,
Kiss and the Vicki Vale part from Batdance,
Wet Dream Cousin and Wet Dream from Vanity 6 (duh),
there's some other ones i can't think of right now. just had a Glam Slam last night and JUST woke up. see my devotion to Prince.orgy?

The Morning Papers and Starfish & Coffee
Another Lonely Christmas and Purple Rain

Both of those pairs of songs share similar melodies.

"Get Off" from the "Diamonds and Pearls" album and "Get Off"...B Side of the 12 Inch of "New Power Generation".

Theres a vague resemblence between 'Head' and 'Kiss'. Then again the album 'Dirty Mind' was in some way a prototype to his work that followed.

Purple rain and The Ladder

Kiss and 319. Think about it.

"It" and "When Doves Cry"

"What Do U Want Me 2 Do" and "The Ballad of Dorothy Parker"

"A Million Days/Cinnamon Girl" and "I Could Never Take The Place of Your Man"

The Musicology Album is seriously like the 2004 remake of the Sign 'O' the Times album...

When You Were Mine and I Could Never Take The Place of Your Man

Dirt Mind and Controversy

kick drum + bass

Everybody's looking 4 "Graffiti Bridge"...
Everybody's looking 4 "The Ladder"...

I always felt there are some similarities between "Take Me With U" & "Raspberry Beret";
"The Most Beautiful Girl In The World" & "Betcha By Golly Wow!";
"Illusion, Coma, Pimp & Circumstance" & "Kiss";
"If I Was Your Girlfriend" & "Come On";
"Mad Sex" & "Sexy MF";
"Insatiable" & "Scandalous".

I ran a thread like this at least a year or two ago, but funnily I was thinking about this just tonight! 4 some reason, I don't get most of the pairs posted (except for a few), I'll have to listen again.

I actually always put:

ATCLYINY with 17days (the instrumental bit of the chorus)

Lady Cab Driver = Glamorous Life

Manic Monday = 1999 (just the verses, and the midsection of MM reminds me of the midsection of Raspberry Beret)

That's it for starters, but there's way more! OK here's one:

TMBGITW = And God Created Woman (not really the same song, more like an evolution from one to the other, like Scandalous to Insatiable)

"Insatiable" & "Adore"

just listen 2 how when doves cry is sang, and sing thunder. my grandmother found that shyte really quickly.when i played thunder for her( it's about jesus 'n'em), she said is that the remix of that doves song? just thought i would share.

love me,
fergie

partyman and daddy pop.... the chorus.

They're both written in 6/8 rhythm, are they not? Another song that comes very close to these two is "Curious Child."

I can't believe no one's mentioned these two yet:

"Daisy Chain" & "Family Name" -- same song, different words, slightly different arrangement

lady cab driver-get it up (a time song technically, but still)
opening riff of get it up-opening riff of if i was your girlfriend
sexy mf-everlasting now...somewhat
cherry moon-the question of u (I'd say he downright ripped himself off there)
erotic city-1+1+1 is 3 (ditto)
ronnie talk to russia-onedayimgonnabesomebody-play in the sunshine-sexualiy-jack u off all somewhat similar, kind of a 50s rock vibe

"Delirious" & "Jack U Off";
"Crucial" & "Adore".

Cream and Shake (by the time): similar synth line

Musically songs like Feel U Up and Scarlet Pussy are amazingly alike. Throw in Irrissistible Bitch (alos recorded as medley with Feel U Up), Chocolate, Mad Sex etc etc

I think the guitar at the start of 'Cinnamon Girl' and the start of 'I Like It There' from the Chaos and Disorder album are very similar.

Daimonds and Pearls = Romance 1600 (the verses)

Pink Cashmere & Underneath The Cream

These days a good majority of them.
