I guess on Musicology "A Million Days" turned out to be my favorite. At least very close to "great". And maybe "On the couch".

I could definately pick at least one great song off of every album that I've heard before


(ehem...I havent heard NEWS yet)

Oh, but I am

"greta" really had me thrown for a bit.

I really consider Everlasting Now a 5/5 but I guess thats jus me

CalhounSq said:

and I totally agree with Calhoun Sq.

CalhounSq said:

When you were mine-Great song

Annie christian/Let's work-Great songs

DMSR/ Lady cab driver-Great songs

When doves cry/ the beautiful ones-Great songs

If I were your girlfriend/Adore-Great songs.....

I could go on but you get the picture. Nothing On Musicology will ever be consider great or a classic. Ok songs but not great.

lovedad43 said:

Annie Christian is NOT a great song...

The other songs you've mentioned (w/ the exception of When You Were Mine) are a step above great actually, let's call them "fantastic"...

Think what you want but Call My Name & On The Couch (at LEAST) are indeed GREAT SONGS...

CalhounSq said:

We could on & on with this. Let's just agree to disagree.

thekidsgirl said:

I rate it 4.5/5. This is how my rating system goes, for anyone who cares.

1-1.5 stars=embarassing
2-2.5 stars=generally bad
3 stars=solid, nothing I'd skip
3.5 stars=really good
4 stars=great. something id play on winamp.
4.5 stars=really great. something id play on winamp and add to my mp3 player too.
5 stars=a classic. a stunner. a song that gets you in just that right way.

lovedad43 said:

Thank you for finally agreeing w/ me...

CalhounSq said:

Girl, you're a trip!

I would agree that Reflection is an absolute classic. Keep in mind that it often takes years before Prince's albums are truly appreciated. Not sure if you all remember the original reviews of ATWIAD or even Parade...

PurpleKnight said:

Chaos & Disorder had quite a few great sleeper hits: Had U, Into the Light, and I rock therefore I am.

The original Rave at least flash around Hot wit U

And for the love of gravey, NEWS is an excellent album!!! East is a great jam.

no there isn't.

NPS, Rave, NEWS, Musicology and Batman have no truly great songs on. Plenty of good songs though.

Good can become great when played live though, so don't think i'm being too harsh.

lovedad43 said:

yeah,theres nothing close to great on Musicology ,sorry to say , I dont think
thers anything great on For You or his instrumental albums either
