lets make a list of songs that must be heard on headphones. i was blown away the first time i heard automatic on headphones and i believe that is the only way to hear that song. i was wondering if any fellow orgers can name of any other songs that must be listen to on headphones to hear all the little backing tracks and sound that cant be heard any otherway

Adore - you have not heard this song until you've heard it with headphones.

I saw the heading of this thread and "Automatic" was the first thing to come to my mind. Amazing, isn't it?

Another good one is Jody Watley's "Still A Thrill" (extended mix).

edit: and no, Prince did not write "still a thrill" despite the rumours

"When Doves Cry"

Was the very first song I played on my very first walkman I ever owned.

It tripped me out because it sounded like a mosquito was buzzing around my ears when it first started.

oh hell yes - "still a thrill" is sick! ok, so what's the deal on that track. I know David Z worked it, along with Andre Cymone. Did P have anything to do with it?

"Just As Long As We're Together" and pretty much the rest of For You. Prince laboured over all the multitudes of sounds throughout that album.
Life it ain't real funky unless you got that orgPop.

STRANGE BUT TRUE

That is the ultimate headphone song IMO. I've listened to at least 100 times and everytime I hear something new!

Great idea for a thread! I was just about to post a thread about there not being any good threads, but now I can't.

Anyway, the two that leap to mind for me are:

A Love Bizarre
La La La He Hee Hee

Both of those have all kinds of crazy stuff going on in the mix. check them out!

I'm so glad someone else has caught this. Once you listen to one song and hear things you've missed, you have to listen to ALL the songs from the beginning....it's like "discovering" Prince all over again. It makes you wish you listened with headphones on back in the day. Oh well.....enjoy the "new" music. It's very sexy to hear him talk in some of the songs...almost like his whispering in your ear lol I am trying to make a cd of the songs where you can hear him talking.....any help is appreciated.. I want to make sure I get them all...

Great thread.....

I remember the first time I heard poplife (in'85) I ripped the headphones off thinking they were busted. Then I played the title track and heard that scream and thought "okay it's just Prince."
