It's been done before, but...

What Prince albums/songs do you like that are generally considered to be not so great amongst the Prince fandom?

Personally, I love NEWS and Emancipation and I love the songs 'Tick, Tick, Bang' and 'Graffiti Bridge'.

Various songs from the "For You" and "Prince" albums.

I never hear about "Gotta Stop Messin' About" being one of the catchier jams from the "Dirty Mind" era.

"The Human Body", "New World" and "My Computer" from Emancipation.

No one around here seems to like Peach and Until U're In My Arms Again, but I fancy those.

Alright...I'll bite.

I totally dig "When U Love Somebody" from NPS, and I'll tell you why. From the 5'34" mark to the end, it's pure bliss. I can't hide from the fact that it kicks my ass to the curb. music

I like Peach too. I thought I was the only one who actually like this song.

I also like Prince's cover of Betcha By Golly Wow!, which everyone else seems to hate.

That song starts out sounding just average
& then does this turn & becomes great.
Its like I hate that song
& then a minute later I love it.

"Mad Sex"

it's my guilty pleasure. that greasy dirty beat,
the horns sounding so sexy and his voice fucked
up like that.


one nation, under your groove
and still you can't break my cool

He could have done much better but I like all the tracks. "Trust" is the weakest track but it's listenable. Of all the Prince albums in the late 1980s that followed "Purple Rain", "Batman" is my favorite because it's cold and dark. It was kind of like a brief return to the "old Prince"...only weaker.

"Peach," "Human Body," "Tick Tick Bang," and the entire For You album. Some others as well, I'm sure.

Gansta Glam...there I admit it! It may not be If I were your girlfriend but that songs makes me work up a sweat.

Oh and the whole New Power Soul album. People just can't recoginze the brilliance of that album. Which is so sad.

The songs that come to mind for me are:

Betcha By Golly Wow!
Until U're In My Arms Again
The Human Body
Peach
Slow Love
Silly Game
Life O' The Party
I Like It There
Style

I know there are more but I dig those songs and I laugh when I see folks dog them. Just shows how different we are but that's what make being a Prince fan so much fun!
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that
