rare songs that everybody raves about, but you just don't get it

i searched for months to get electric intercourse, and while it's a nice song, i don't see what all the hoopla is about. it certainly isn't good enough to replace anything on Purple Rain
you look better on your facebook page than you do in person hmph!

Empty Room.

Well, it's not so rare anymore.

I swear to God when I first heard it, I thought Sussana Hoff's was going to chime in with Eternal Flame.

Yeah I don't get all the gushing over Electric Intercourse either. I just heard it about a year or 2 ago and it's on my ipod (from the Avenue) and it's cool, but I dont' know why everyone acts like it's the undiscovered Purple Rain.

Alexa de Paris... I like it. .. and it has a really cool mood which I can't place, but again some people go on and on.

Power Fantastic. Although I've only listened to it a few times from the Hits, mainly cuz it didn't really bowl me over.

And pretty much anything after SOTT.

This one is EASY. Prince's HORRID rendition of Mary Poppin's "Spoonful of Sugar." I can't figure out why ANYONE even cheered for this crap. Oh well -- it was a fairly private show and as far as I can tell, it was only released on tape.

Luv & Peace,
Alex

I never understood what so many people saw in "Sleep Around". Its a terribly produced cheesy number.

after listening to 'empty room' a few times and being distinctly underawed, i just tried again a couple of weeks ago. NOW i get it, it's great!! not QUITE as good as people make out, but not far off, neither.

'electric intercourse' just gets better the more i listen to it. i've got a rehearsal version but i'd like to hear the studio cut. i don't think it's circulating.

y'all are gonna hate me for this but i think 'extraloveable' isn't as good as it's said to be. give me 'all my dreams' any day.

most of 'the gold experience' is well overrated, imo. i really don't like that album a lot.

Dude!! Are you kidding???
I was right about to chime in and say that "Empty Room" (C-Note version) is a true gem! The emotion, the guitar, man it's awesome.
I was not too impressed by "Electric Intercourse" 'Witness 4 The Prosecution" or "Rebirth Of The Flesh".
"All My Dreams" is very interesting and "Moonbeam Levels" has a good melody.

Not feeling ER. Sorry.

I dig the guitar-driven version of "Witness" with no backing vocals

I dig ROTF and AMD.

EI and ML? Don't live up to the hype. I was expecting so much more.
