Okay, maybe I'm confused. Not long ago, I made a discussion topic where I proclaimed Adore to be THE GREATEST SONG OF ALL TIME.

But...

I just finished listening to Call My Name 5 straight times. I've loved it ever since the first time I heard it, and believe that it is indeed a Prince classic.

Adore is the much more well-known song, and it's a sheer gem. But which song do you all prefer? Call My Name is nothing short of brilliant as well.

If you're like me, you go through phases. You'll listen to Sign' for a week, then Batman, then maybe the Symbol album or oldies but goodies like Prince, or the Controversy CD... or maybe pop in Come or New Power Soul.

I still place Adore on a pedestal, but I'm in a Call My Name phase.

What's the pick if you're on a deserted island?

I don't understand people can like Call My Name.
The chorus especially is devastating for the ear. There is no melody there, just a wall of voices trying to shout louder than the next.

I had the same feeling with Man 'O' War... It could have been a great song, but it's just too much. Why not limit the background voices to two or three?...
