are there any Prince classics your tired of?

for the most part most of Prince's hits i can listen to over and over and have been since the early 80's but once in awhile i find myself skipping a classic more than others and i guess the song that just doesn't do it for me anymore is Let's Go Crazy,.i loved that song back in the day but as i said when it comes up on the Purple Rain cd or The Hits i tend to skip it now
Check it out ...Shiny Toy Guns R gonna blowup VERY soon and bring melody back to music..you heard it here 1st! http://www.myspacecomment...theone.mp3

yeah...

the big hits from 1999 (the rest of it i'll always get into), and most of purple rain (i'll always love computer blue, and i love the studio version of 'take me with u' even though i'm tired of hearing it live).

Kiss and Little Red Corvette. My local radio stations played those songs along with 1999 and Raspberry Beret and they act like those are the only songs Prince ever done.

Most popular songs. And many of the most popular songs of his I thought were bad compared to that that did not fare as well. Radio didn't help either.

Case in point...

Gett Off gets no play..Cream hits top 10

Sign of the times didn't fare as well as U got the Look.

One of the reasons I didn't mention Pop Life is that I haven't heard it that much on the radio...hence I can't really get sick of it. But songs like Erotic City, WHen DOves Cry and Kiss...I don't think I'll ever get tired of hearing.

I still enjoy them on the albums...but the live versions always sound tired to me...one of the few exceptions was ´When doves cry´ from Japan Tokyo Dome - Nude Tour (u can see the video on Housequake). Very energetic, with a beautiful piano solo.

Most of the hits I never, ever, EVER listen to.

Never listen to Purple Rain, I Would Die 4 U, Kiss, Gett Off, Cream (yuck!), TMBGITW, Little Red Corvette, Delirious, 1999, Kiss, ICNTTPOYM, Theives In The Temple, MNIP.... really, it's easier to list the singles/hits I DO listen to. lol
