I like that one too! hey how's your wife and baby girl?

I'll go ahead and state the obvious which is ofcourse just about every song on The Rainbow Children. Got any more? Nothing Compares The Hits version, some people hate this track. Damm U (Prince shouldnt sing cabaret music"), Blue Light ("Reagge is not for Prince") and other tracks of the Symbol album ("Prince is not good in hip hop").

I Was just about to say that. Adore is highly overrated. I agree with you both. It's a nice song & all, but a little too sappy for me. People here act like you're a heretic if you don't like it. 
And IMO whether you've ever been in love is not (directly or indirectly) proportional to the level of like or dislike you have for Adore.  [Edited 12/5/05 14:36pm] The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp. | |

Every album after S.O.T could be debated, as this where Prince goes past his prime and starts putting filler on to the albums, some people like this filler, others hate it. The most debated I find are.
S.O.T Mostly liked, but some very vocal opponents of it. Lovesexy, about 50/50 love /hate Batman never noticed G.B. Mostly negative, but some songs are liked, I think too as the filler is noticable on this album D&P Not either, mostly tolerated or people think individual songs are ok Later albums, love em or hate them generally I think they lack consistancy. The only that are OK are Gold Experience and Come 17 Years ago I made a commitment to Prince | |

Chaos & Disorder 
Also the lyrics to Tamborine.... All alone by myself, me & I play my tamborine TROUBLING Most think he's saying "trampoline" but if you listen close it's cleary troubling, especially in context with the song

Gett Off causes issues. Personally, I never really "got" this song. It just feels so "meh". | |

I always felt in the middle about "Get Off", didn't like or dislike it.But, after I saw it live in concert, I love it. Man, that song really bangs in concert. | |

"Gett Off" I find it "false" and "pretentious".
TWO words I never thought I'd say about Prince. They used to play it in my local tacky nightclub when I was about 18 and it made me go off him for awhile. The song was far too "cool" for my liking. I felt like he sold out. The people that I knew that danced to that record were the ones that hated "Kiss" and "1999". So it somewhat bothered me. And it just didn't sound like Prince to me. Gett off - 23 positions in a 1 night standGett off - Those lyrics always bothered me. [Edited 12/5/05 19:40pm] [Edited 12/5/05 19:40pm] Shut up already, damn. | |

I like that one too! hey how's your wife and baby girl? Hey, thanks for remembering! They're great, and our son (almost 12) is, too. Sydney is still jamming to Prince. She's stuck on "Starfish and Coffee" and "Housequake" right now (Thank God for the Mute button). How's everything in your world? | |

I cannot believe the hate Adore gets in here. I'm cancelling my account. Somebody call me with the new 3121 rumours.

When lovejust doesn't seem a big enough word to describe it. That is why the song is sooo over blown. Prince is searching for descriptions. But every line in it is real.
I love Adore, it's a gorgeous ballad and I can totally relate to the lyrics. But you probably have to be a romantic to fully appreciate this song, hehe! RIP Prince: thank U 4 a funky Time... |

Money Don't Matter 2nite - I've never gotten why so many fans love this. It's grated on me since the first time I heard it.
Big White Mansion is another one like that. Dance On - one of my faves which ppl dis (Tamborine too). And for the record: I like MNIP (minus Tony M) and Gett Off is one of my faves. Oh, I think Dolphin causes some controversy (I like it). "We've never been able to pull off a funk number"
