And add "Life O the Party" to the fire!

Oh yeah, Adore is way to sugary. And people say Diamonds and Pearls is too sugary, maybe they haven't heard Adore.

You're all Crazy.


The worst is

Animal Kingdom.

Is someone, execpt the nutty vegheads, going to tell me they like this song?

doctamario said:

You CANNOT be serious!!!!!

Adore is sacred. In times past, this kind of blasphemy would get you killed.

DieselsDen said:

The rest of your post is just pure nonsense, but this is a sage observation. Personally, I believe the symbol album to be simply unlistenable due to a whole host of dud songs, none more so than "3 chains", and so I completely forgot about it.

Yes, 3 chains is right up there.

I think my elite pair would be Graffiti Bridge and 3 Chains of Gold.

Yes these people DON'T know what they're are talking about.

You can't seriously prefer Diamonds and Pearls to Adore ....

...AND call yourself a "Prince fan" !!

Adore IS a sacredd song.

It's a brilliant song and in no way is it a sugary ballard.

NouveauDance said:

No way. That's a gorgeous record. His falsetto in the final verse is one of his best ever vocals IMO.

Some more to add to the list:

Incense & Candles
Get On The Boat
Satisfied
Lolita

All very lame.

ok...that's it.....i have held back from songs that i love being trashed but i CAN NOT let this go.

you sir insane! this prolly the jam EVER! the amount of slow jam lists this song has topped is too numerous to mention.

stop it!

It's possible to dislike something you know is not the worst just like it's possible to like something you know is the worst. In my own case, I believe I actually dislike the worst song Prince has ever committed to a shiny surface :

1999, the New Master

in which our hero repeatedly tortures and rapes his own classic song.

Welcome to the Adore-Dislikers Club. You are member #4 or 5, by my count... (There may be more of us who are scared to come out, though).

I didn't list Adore on this thread cause I don't *hate* it, but I definitely don't like it either. I agree it's too sugary and to me, that makes it seems insincere. Not a big fan of D&P, Damn U, Condition of the Heart, Sometimes it Snows in April, etc...see the pattern? In general, I just don't like Prince ballads. I prefer the funk.

I guess you have a point there. That "New Master" thing might be worst then Animal Kingdom. However, I knew that one was so bad I never listened to it. I think I listened to a clip of it and thought "what shit" then ran away.

I know people are gonna jump down my throat for this but I so didn't get "Most Beautiful Girl in the World". Sorry it just didn't do it for me, and worse still what totally narked me was that it went to No.1 over here in the UK. All those years without a No.1 here, and all the bitching about him that I encounter from the majority of people I meet when I tell them I'm a fan, such as:

"You like Prince? Isn't he gay?"
"You like Prince? Why? He's a dwarf isn't he? (what the f*** does any of this have to do with anything?)

...and then these same random people go out and buy THAT song and get it to number 1. Why I ask?? Granted, a lot of his stuff isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I swear over the years he's released tracks over here in the UK that were more deserving of the Number 1 slot than that!

Post that song, I STILL encounter the same bitching about his dress/height/sexuality, but with the add-on of...."He ain't done nothing good for years apart from Purple Rain and that Most Beautiful Girl in the World song". How anyone can compare these two songs is beyond me. I Love Purple Rain, just don't get Most Beautiful. Don't get me wrong - I don't hate it, I just don't understand why so many other people obviously thought it was so special. Hey maybe next time I meet one of those narrow minded nutters I'll ask them to fll me in on why it's such a great song!

I'm with you on this, it's one of my favourite's and it will be the first dance at my wedding!

"4 blank seconds"

The whole of the Musicology album

Life O' The Party irks the fuck outta me more than any other song (even Jughead, Freaks On This Side, Push It Up, or Wedding Feast).

NouveauDance said:

No fucking way!! I love that song, it's in my top 20 Prince songs.

Sign me up! I never liked Adore...

MattyJam said:

I agree! The music is so powerful. Expecially the Chorus when you turn it up loud!
