TheMaster said:

yeah, i'll give you those two. the rest of those
i either love, or forgive their crapiness due to
one or two cool elements in them.

i'm still in a state of shock though, since you
chose "willing and able" over "jughead" 4 worst
song on diamonds & pearls.

I was going to take real issue with you for the songs in bold (especially considering Old Friends for Sale is on The Vault!) until you redeemed yourself by including the song in red

IstenSzek said:

Only because I never listened to Jughead...

I usually took it out when Willing & Able came on, except that rare occasion that I listened to Money...

JimmyNothing said:

Ha ha ha... I forgot about Old friends, although it is mediocre, at best.

If you think that "Baby I'm a star" is a turd, then you better grab me a spoon, because I am gonna eat poop all day and all night.

2004 Musicology The life of the Party, Cinnamon Girl, The Marrying Kind, If I Was The Man in Ur Life, On The Couch


As you can see, in his 30 years of making records, Musicology takes the cake
concerning shitty horrible unlistenable tracks for me.

There are other tracks that are not that great, but I still enjoy those when
they come up on shuffle play in my winAmp. The highlighted tracks in my list
are the ones I simply cannot stand without getting sick.

Still, I'm amazed that I have aprox 1000 Prince tracks (legal and otherwise)
and dislike only about 3 dozen of all of them.

And yes, you have seen it correctly, I do not hate ArmsOfOrion with such a
passion as might be expected from an avid orger. I'm sorry for that lol.

I guess that makes me either a brainwashed fam or just someone who really
likes Prince's music very very much indeed

TheMaster said:

So much crap on that 3CD set and you chose one of the few good tracks.

sextonseven said:

EXACTLY MY POINT, MAN!

All of that shit and you chose the one song that actually made me wanna hit repeat upon first listen.

squirrelgrease said:

I'm really sorry but I can't believe With You is a turd.

It was the first song that turned me on to Prince.

His voice is so clear. The sentiment is pure. It's beautiful.

With You might only be a little song but it's up there with Adore as far as I'm concerned.

Okay it always sounds half finished but it's still genius. !

And Under The Cherry Moon I love. Okay it's not my fave but I wouldn't have not had it on the album.

Mainly for the great lyrics..

I want to live life to the ultimate high
Maybe I'll die young like heroes die
Maybe I'll kiss u some wild special way
If nobody kills me or thrills me soon,
I'll die in your arms under the cherry moon


What about I Wonder You ? Not sure about that one but hey it's still part of the album !

TheMaster said:

And you call yourself a fan?

TheMaster said:

The Master needs to be remastered for including true great songs in his list, but for failing to pick Jughead AND Graffiti Bridge.

OKAY !!!!!

The Arms Of Orion - Not the best love song by Prince's standards!

...but no way should it be on a list as a turd !!

Blimey...

You guys have chosen stuff of Parade?!

Dear god no!

Alrighty -

So you lot can slag off such gems as The Ladder, Free, Arms Of Orion..etc..

I was on the fence about Take Me With U, but that sweet drum-program intro tipped the scales for non-turd status.

squirrelgrease said:

yeah, i'll give it at least that...but i can't help it! apples's voice makes it the rest of the song too pooptacular!

Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic - that sheryl crow song was rock for bottom for me

Overheard at the recording session:

Recording Engineer-"Prince, this is our fifty-third take and the fifty-third key that Ms. Kotero has sung it in, what should we do?"

Prince-"Just look at those titties."

Recording Engineer-"Right. It's a wrap people. Nice work Ms. Kotero."

If I didn't mention an album, either I think all the songs are golden or I don't have it.
Prince-Still Waiting
DM-Head, Gotta Broken Heart Again
Lovesexy-Eye No
Batman-Lemon Crush
Graffiti Bridge-Graffiti Bridge, Latest Fashion, Shake!, Still Would Stand All Time
Symbol-Arrogance, The Flow
Come-A little hard to decide. One of them
Gold-Billy Jack Bitch
NPS-Until U're N My Arms Again, When U Love Somebody
Rave-Man of War
Musicology-Life O' the Party
