thing of it is, not everyone thinks of any of those cats in those terms and holds 'em to merely those signature songs. there's a helluva lot more in all of their respective catalogues than just that crap.

3 TIMES, his most syrupy shit EVER...

Raspberry Sorbet is a close 2nd

oh shit, batdance. batdance is so bad i've apparently erased it from my memory of prince hits.

tmbgitw is syrupy but it's sooooo over-the-top, unashamedly syrupy it works. it's only if you're being syrupy but still trying to get away with it that it becomes annoying, whereas p was just saying "fuck this, im going to make the syrupiest song ever and you're going to like it"

i must have heard purple rain hundreds if not thousands of times and i cant say ive ever got tired of it.

Wow, it's interesting to see some of these answers.....I had no idea anyone COULD NOT like certain songs.

yeah, but like...if you actually did erase it from your memory, ya wouldnt've mentioned it. it's stuck with you forever!!! ph33r the curse of "batdance"!!!




"tmbgitw" i don't think of as syrupy, it's just plain gawd-awful. you want syrupy? two words: "with you". that shit wasn't a hit at all, i know (and thank gawd!!!) but it don't get more mrs. butterworth's than that.

never really liked lrc or u got the look that much

But at least With You is him being young & sweet & goofy, not older/wiser/more sugary than those damn Versace pics I actually like With You

the versace shoot was less than sugary, that was totally salt n'vinegar right there.

and you like "with you"? ewww--i can only take that cut in extremely small doses. it's the lone packet of sweet & low on the prince album.

His voice is gorgeous on that song.

Girl I love the shit outta those first two albums - each & every song, I just eat them UP

You know the lord luh da truth.

Most Beautiful Girl in the World

Purple Rain

Y'all are funny.

I've grown to appreciate it a little, but I still have to go with "Batdance."

Come here, "Alphabet St." and "Raspberry Beret." I still love you.

Oddly enough, his hits are usually his good songs.

Careless Whisper - never could get into it

Soft & Wet, & Theives In The Temple! Compared 2 sum of the songs u guys r listing these spank all of em! I mean Purple Rain man wat drugs r u guys on who cares if its overplayed its still an awesome song!
And Batdance thats a madd song! It sums up the Batman album really well, i mean if u dont have the album and have heard that song u have heard 1/3 of the album from that one song.....and the film clip is cool!

Different strokes for different folks—"Thieves in the Temple" is my favorite.

Im not talking about the extended mix or nythin as i havent heard it!
But outta the hits im not saying they r crap songs and i dont like them or nythin, they r good songs but not my favs and i think there coulda been other songs that coulda been released instead

Spinlight said:

It has nothing to do with being overplayed. I never liked it.

All the Purple Rain singles (not the Bsides tho they rock) as they are just played to death, u can have 2 much Prince at times.

When is the last time you heard them on the radio????

Kiss is shit.

Delirious.

As many loved classics have been named here I dare to mention another one:

Housequake

Don't like it...
