Anyone else think Call My Name is a classic?

Great Love Song. Not just a great Prince Song, but a great Love Song - like the kind Al Green and Marvin Gaye did.

Much of musicology feels this way to me...there's a 'reality' to it that I adore.
I wanna be loved to the 9s, so let me cover your ass with this sheet, and baby, you better stay on the beat! Cause you know the Karma Sutra? I can rewrite it. But, with half as many words.

Hm, I'm not sure about my "feelings" towards Musicology as a whole. Call My Name is a very nice tune, but I miss, as on (am I allowed to say: most? ) other tunes, something striking.
when I got the album back in 2004, I was very, very enthusiastic about it (with the exception of Life O the party), but the flame was soon burning low.

Now, with the arrival of 3121, I find myself listen to Musicology more often again. I like it, but i would not really say that call my name might be a classic. It sounds like one, but for me... it isn't.

Right now, I enjoy 3121 so much more than I enjoyed Musicology back in 2004, and I listen more and more to it!

But still I think that Musicology is a (very ~ not so sure?) good album.

Absolutely!! The album, Musicology, has a lot of classic tracks!! Aside from Call My Name, I love the title track, Reflection, Cinnamon Girl, and If Eye Was the Man in Ur Life.

Years from now, the album Musicology will be better remembered than 3121.

Well, I think many of the people who chose to give it the Grammy thought so.

Of course it's a classic.

I think it's one of Prince's most overrated songs.

A classic? No, dear, not in my book.

I can't even think what it sounds like except for the whiney "Caaaaal!... Cawwwwwl maaaa name" bit.

Pass me the sick bucket.
