? of u vs. under the cherry moon

hi,
i wanted 2 know which song do u like more since they share the same melody( sound very similar ). Both songs have something special in them. in ? of u there is the solo, in under the cherry moon there is something in his voice.
What u think.

i think its very hard but i go with ? of u

I agree. ? of U is a little better in my opinion because of the awesome guitar solo and the hand claps. But, Under The Cherry Moon is a great song too. biggrin

Under The Cherry Moon was one of my favourite tunes until I heard ? of U at prince's show in 1990.....I vividly remember hearing the song and, considering the album was not released at the time, it stuck in my mind thanks to the familiar melody and the strobe lights which flashed at the same time as the drum beat! Then the guitar solo began....with prince standing on top of his piano playing it.....BRILLIANT!!!? of u is better but I still have a soft spot for UTCM..... lol

when i was younger i played ? of you for a friends mom. She hated P and all his music. When she heard this song she almost died...lol. she loved it. She even said that it was the best song ever written by anybody. big praise from a woman who hated p. I think she went a little far with that but it is a wonderful song. UTCM was one of my favs but I think ? of you is the better song.

The Question of U. It sounds eerie in that cool way. UTCM is just too melancholy. Plus "?" has a wicked guitar solo. guitar

? of U, is one of my favorite Prince tracks. I think mainly because of the blues feel to it. I remember when I got the sheet music for that song, I tried and tried to get that feeling (blues) but could not get it. I love the "? of U"

Under the Cherry moon is cool, but I love the ? of U and Joy of Repetition, that is tight!!

Question of U for its haunting guitar solo, but UTCM is also fantastic.

Most people agree that "? of U" is the grown up version of "Under The Cherry Moon". Personally i love both but "? of U" definitely has that certain je ne sais pas.
