So are we were all in agreement? (when doves cry)

That Prince's "best" song is when doves cry... it may noy be your "personal favorite" but it is the "BEST"

in terms of songwriting skills, the beat, melody, rythm etc... it is the "BEST" hit.

do we all feel the same?

Snap

it's a cool "tune" -- one of his best
mostly because of its cool beat
but i wouldn't classify it as a "song"
try playing this on the piano
it doesn't work
it has a one note melody for the most part
and not much of a harmony
the song relies heavily on its Linn pattern
to make it interesting

in terms of songwriting, i would classify
"purple rain" or "anna stesia" as one of his best

oh yeah, and i can't stand "billie jean"
that drum beat drives me off the wall

So are we all in agreement that GoldenGlove should post less topics?

I totally agree."When Doves Cry" is Prince's best song.Because it was such a massive commercial hit,some fans don't like to give it the props it deserves.If only one Prince song could be called a classic,it would have be "When Doves Cry".

If you consider his fanbase at large other strong contenders would be for instance:

Adore
Joy In Repetition
She's Always In My Hair
The Ballad Of Dorothy Parker
Mad Sex

Funny that u should say that and u not picking "When Doves Cry" as one of your top five Prince songs!
