FlyingCloudPassenger said: Another Lonely Christmas
A tear jerker for me. I love this one. Truly one of his best. It's got this other world, ethereal feel to it. I miss the echo on his voice. I agree..its in his top 7 of best songs but its not underrated. Another Xmas gets respect usually.( I love the last chorus where he screams "lonely lonely lonely xmas" with so much passion ya get chills. Slow Love
It's one of my favorites, I especially right when it start to fade at the end, like it picks up in feel. The horns do this little thing, padah dah dah dah, pedeep! Really cool. A very underrated romantic song. Just throwing in the race car drivers line...like he's throwing romantic movie images into your mind...nice. The choir says preach it, preach it "Climb in my fur." | |

There has been some severe bashing of this song on here lately but I don't think it is that bad. Very underrated IMHO. It has a very pretty melody, and at least Sheena Easton can actually sing. While it is a little slushy (it is a love song after all) there are some decent lyrics in there - "since you've been gone I've been searching for a lover in The Sea of Tranquility, drowning without you here". I also love the ending with the rising and falling keyboard/strings sequence. Come on! Some of you know the (very) end of the song is your favourite part  I know soemone who absolutely abhors this song..and she's a member here. She's going to cut you when she sees this...but yes, this song is hated with a passion by most. Its place on the Batman cd makes you go "where the hell did this song come from and why is it here? Nobody invited it to this party." I think because it sounds as if it was written by the average Joe and not Prince...plus the sappines of it. Sappiness + average joe + Prince =hated underrated. "Climb in my fur." | |

Slow Love The One Mellow The Question of U Dark Friend, Lover, Sister, Mother, Wife The One got a bad rap becaue it was on NPS...everyone knows its a jam but wont admit it...its just hanging around some bad people in a bad neighborhood. "Climb in my fur." | |

'with you' is one of my favorites...and he actually played it at the celebration...i couldn't believe it...but yeh i think that one is sadly overlooked and underrated...
'she gave her angels' is another one...and 'goodbye' kinda gets me... there are really a lot of them that i think are overlooked...i still love 'you make my sunshine...' | |

Neversin said: Dude, "Slow Love" is Prince peakin' man, he'll never do a song like this that'll just put me in an instant bliss state...
I used to put this song on repeat when I went to sleep when I was a kid and just fall asleep blissfully and than wake up blissfully... I love it... I agree! But one of his most underrated slow songs has got to be "It's Gonna Be Lonely"...
Neversin. No way--thats not uinderrated...everyone who grew up with the Prince album LOVES that one..thats not underrated. People remember that one from him who never got into the Prince freak era. Honest. I think it may be underrated by Purple Rain and after fans etc...If he whipped this one out in ocnert folks would freak! "Climb in my fur." | |

Xpertlover said: I just hope you guys just didn't mention "Sometimes It Snows In April" until now because it's not a "slow song that no one really talks about"... because obviously, it is Prince's best slow song. It's his best song ever, in fact.
Nobody thinks Sometimes It Snows is underrated...that gets mucho repsect all the time. "Climb in my fur." | |

mltijchr said: Underrated slow songs:
1. Baby You're A Trip slow, sexy, seductive; better than the JJ version 2. Power Fantastic quiet, yet powerful.. can really set a mood 3. Moonbeam Levels somewhat unorthadox, somewhat autobiographical (?) but indicative of its era 4. Eternity a sort of "unplugged"-type performance; again, better than the Sheena Easton version 5. Still Waiting chorus background singing has a "doo-wop" feel to it, augmenting the plaintive melody; stands out as 1 of Prince's "breathier" falsettos.. None of those songs are underrated--everyone thinks of them as classics. Pink Cashmere was left off this list because most fans do know about/appreciate this song..
You must mean casual radio listner fans of Prince..wand that would entail half his catalogue being unknown and underappreciated imho. [This message was edited Mon Jul 22 9:05:12 PDT 2002 by rdhull] "Climb in my fur." | |

I would say The Grand Progression simple because of the raw emotion on it... Oh god! Finally! This song is so quiet and powerful at the same time. I didnt hear it until late a few years ago and this is one of his all time best...songs like these make me love Prince. I wish others could hear this side of him.

Okay maybe not underrated, but I think people should give much more props to this amazing ballad, instead of always praising "Sometimes It Snows In April"... Honest. I think it may be underrated by Purple Rain and after fans etc...
Yeah well, that's probably because they became fan of the hype and decided to stick around... If he whipped this one out in ocnert folks would freak!
I would seriously shit my pants man... and than probably look frantically around to find someone with that "O lord, what a boring old song" look on the face and wipe my ass with it... Neversin. O(+>NIИ<+)O

What about "When 2 r in love"? Don't know if it's really underrated but I don't see people talk about this one very often. I think it has some really nice lyrics:
"When 2 r in love...their stomachs will pound everytime the other comes near" or "The thought of his tongue in the V of her love...in his mind, this thought, it leads th pack." ...dirty little P

Underrated as HELL, and simply beautiful.

For me it's 'When We're Dancing Close and Slow'.
I love his piano work in that song. I probably wrote 4 or 5 different songs in my life that bit the lingering piano note in that song. | |

This is a masterpeice no one talks about much. I think he only played it on one tour in the early 80s... it didn't work live as well as it did in the studio though. I AGREE! You may feel a little turbulance along the way - yes pleeesee | |
